More on bidding farewell to G.W.

One thing I did like that Bush talked about in his press conference is the tone in Washington DC. He's right that there was a level of name calling and a lack of professional tone that existed during his presidency that he did not engage in even when others were attacking him with genuine animosity. I wonder how much could have been accomplished if the energy spent venting about what a clueless idiot the president is was focused on actually debating his policies, or (gasp) coming up with alternatives. I think the nation will actual be in agreeance (j/k) with GW for the first time in a long time when he said that he hopes that tone goes away with Obama.

On a similar note, there was an AP story that ran yesterday about the end of the baby boom generation: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1131ap_obama_bye_bye_boomers.html

Maybe an end to the scrapping among idealogues that seemed to mark the boomer generation will lead to a more cooperative attitude during the Obama presidency? I don't know, if this is truly the end of the baby boom generation, I'd probably be satisfied enough if I didn't ever have to see or hear another tribute to the 1960's...
