14. Watching Obama over the past several years and
hearing remarks that make me wonder - "where the hell did he come up with that world view" I remember...

I remember that the anchor and providers in his life were his grandparents. The people with the most influence on him are from the WWII generation. It is reflected in his political views. He looks young but seems lost in another time.

His rejection of his mother's generation (those pre and early boomers) seems very personal. He doesn't know what he doesn't know.
