The under forty set of people, By the Power of The One, are now to be known as Gen44
In 2008, President Obama empowered a new generation of young Americans with his relentless call for change. […]
As President Obama told us in 2008 and continues to remind us now, the work did not end on Election Day. We made commitments to each other about what we hope tomorrow looks like and what we believe our country can be and they are commitments we must fight for every day. From our commitment to these ideals, we created Generation Forty Four or Gen44 for short—a council to cultivate and empower a rising generation of leaders in the Democratic Party.
Hey, boys and girls, how does it feel to be branded by Dear Leader?
Makes me glad I turned 40 last October and escaped! Sadly for Obama I remember the Carter era (Turn out lights in rooms you aren’t using! Wear a sweater! Don’t drive unless you need to! Take your vacation at home again this year! ) and the two years that followed.
I am not amused.
You know what ya gotta do when you’re “Branded“.
Hmm. Two things.
1. When did “under 40” become “young”? Didn’t the cutoff used to be 30? Or was that thrown down the memory hole?
2. So they are using Gen44 to indicate that you’re under 40. Would they use Gen34 or Gen33 to indicate that you’re under 30?
I don’t play the part of a shrink on TV, but even I can see that this guy’s got him some narcissism problems.
Some one esplain to me: How exactly are the guys who came up with this the smart ones?

Gen44 isn’t about age as about O! Being the 44th president.
Send us your $44 contibution, and you too can be part of the exciting….
Soo glad I dont qualify to wear that brand.
The #Gen44 hashtag was a hoot. It seems to have died a quick death.
My thought exactly, and I was under the impression that he was renaming Millennials, and yet his own page says it’s under 40 which tells me he really doesn’t understand what a generation is. I blame Daddy issues.
I’m from the generation before “GenX,” which some would say makes me “GenW.”
Personally, I’d rather be the Pepsi generation. Comin’ at ya, goin’ strong.
Put yourself behind a Pepsi — ’cause when you’re livin’, you belong!
The best part about this Gen44 thing is the look on a hipster’s face when you explain to him that he’s self-identifying as a brownshirt/ward of the state. Look at the little cockroaches run!
OK, the sense of self-regard on Obama’s part is getting to be a bit much; especially the part where he and his supporters are shocked, SHOCKED!, when they discover it rubs people the wrong way. In their eyes, who wouldn’t love dear leader…
The answer being, RACISTS!, that’s who; they don’t love them some dear leader…Or yoots in hoodies.
Check out this comment from US lefty Sophia on Harry’s Place, Bob (I read crap like this, so you don’t have to):
Obots aren’t known for their grasp of reality, the opposition, just a general lack of comprehension about anything not involving feelings. It’s pretty typical in my experience.

Typical, and terribly frustrating. Even on those occasions when I can get one of the Obots to listen to me, they switch off the moment they realize that I’m poking holes in their carefully constructed “reality.” They don’t want to hear about unintended consequences. They don’t want to talk about the performance of every single bureaucracy they’ve ever had to deal with, and how a health care bureaucracy is going to be just as bad, if not worse. They don’t want to consider the effect of setting unlimited demand against very limited supply. They don’t want to admit that the country is already broke, and they’re just speeding up the inevitable collapse. They just want to feel good, and so they vote for those who tell them comforting things, and don’t demand a lot of thinking or hard work in return.
Being a responsible adult is hard work, and it’s more than most of these benighted fools are up for. Little wonder that our arguments about liberty and self-reliance and dignity seem to fall on deaf ears. What 7-year-old cares about these things, once you’ve promised that he can have cookies and stay up late?
Actually, John Riggins’ number was 44.
A notorious philanderer who was part Indian (Cherokee) who couldn’t hold his liquor and wore a Mohawk.
So now it makes sense.
So is it to be Generation O!, pronounced Generation Zero!
The Diesel?
The Diesel?
Yes. And it’s possible I made some/all of that up.
Didn’t Obama make something of a to-do about his NCAA bracket? And he picked the Jayhawks to take the crown? Ha!
It fits!
Fooked by Kansas. Riggins! You bastard!!!
Messers Grimm, Bostic, Jacoby, Starke and May desire a word.
What can you do when you’re BRANDED?
Chuck Connors, what’s your view?…
Brooks Orpik.
Branded with a golden “A.”
Or a black one, depending.

Rhymes with “under the table,” actually.

Why do I have to be 29?
I wouldn’t lose a lot of sleep over it, Saturn. You’re hardly the first thing Teh Won has badly misjudged.
