3. I think he means "which terms will be chosen to marginalize boomers who criticize Obama?"

2. What will it be for the OP?
Context free posts? Insults without meaning?

17. Is he getting over himself?
He IS a baby boomer, much as he likes to pretend otherwise.

6. Pissed
Obama doesn't seem to recognize (or value) what those of us over 50 have contributed in the last 30 years. Okay, I get that.... good look with the college-age voters.

9. All three - just like "the gays".
He didn't really mean it. You didn't really see/feel what he said and believes.

Sit down, shut up and don't get your panties in a wad.

12. Whining and overreacting.
Exhibit A:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=132

In case people wonder why the Boomers are considered the worst generation ever, the narcissistic self-pity, sense of entitlement, and whiny claims of victimhood are all on display.

14. Someone accused Obama of being a Nazi
who wanted to lock the elderly and homosexuals in concentration camps.

Some people are seriously mentally ill around here.

21. "Some people are seriously mentally ill around here."
Are you a diagnostician? Or does it fall into the takes one to know one category?

22. What will it be for their ungrateful brats?
Pissing, moaning, complaining and sitting on their asses perpetually blaming the state of the world on the generation who came before?

Looks like it.

We stopped a stupid war and weathered the last round of GOP financial stupidity while managing to keep you fed and clothed.

What have you done?

Now go away.
