Me too. It’s cooler to be an X’er in an uncool sort of way….

I’ll always claim to be an X-er. Proudly.

So I looked on wikipedia and they say generation jones is 1960-75. Then I look on Wikipedia about generation x . They are 1965 to 1980, or 1968 to 1979. So I guess I am both. My Generation’s first President!

Yes, I love this design too. Very easy to look at.

I shed tears of joy too … and now the republican party is ripping Sarah Palin every chance they can get.

As an X-er too, I haven’t heard about these Jones’s either … interesting.

thumbs up on the new look too.

Thank you for the info. Strangely enough I have never heard of Generation Jones. I read 4 hours, at least, a day. How did I miss that?
I guess we (Xers) haven’t had our day yet… figures..

Interesting post and blog. Relevantly, many prominent experts and publications have pointed out that Obama is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and GenXers.

You may find this page interesting: it has, among other things, excerpts from publications like Newsweek and the New York Times, and videos with over 25 top pundits, all talking specifically about Obama’s identity as a GenJoneser:

This has restored my faith in the USA and (most of) its people.
