Dear Barack
Seduced and then disappointed by a hipster who turned out just to be another solipsistic boomer, now chastened yet still hopeful for change (if no longer swept away by the promise of Hope and Change), young Americans are ready to ditch Barack Obama. Things had been getting rocky for a while, but seeing the dawning of the Age of Obamacare in its full glory seems to have been the final indignity. The young will of course never acknowledge that maybe their old-fogey parents were right all along, but they do understand that what they thought was going to be a meaningful, long-term relationship has turned out to be just a youthful fling. And so they’re getting ready to say, Dear Barack, thanks for the memories, but we’ll be returning the next email to sender, addressee unknown.
