Tea Party vs Obama

The Tea Party baby boomers are about presentation and posture, while President Obama, a Generation X, is more about getting the work done. A boomer might be dressed nicely and at work during the designated hours, whether much work is accomplished or not. Gen X’ers, like President Obama, typically don’t care so much about the suit and tie and designated hours and care more about getting the task done. Obama cared about getting the debt ceiling raised and the Tea Party idealistic baby boomers were all about presentation, posturing and values.


For example, organizers of business conventions know these traits. Tea Party Boomers like motivational speakers. Obama GenX’ers want speakers who provide information that can’t be found in books or online. Tea Party Boomers like ideas. Obama GenX’ers like information. Tea Party Boomers are about values. Obama GenX’ers are about pragmatism.
