I thought that Time would have better proofreaders. People are not PHased by something--they are Fazed by it. One more instance of just leaving it up to Spellcheck. Funny, but as soon as I saw that I stopped paying attention to the whole argument.

I gotta say --

This is one of the best things that I have read from you, Mr. Klein. And yes, that is Mr. Klein, not Joe, not Joke Line. You deserve that respect for writing this.

I have similar trepidations about an Obama Presidency considering the enormous mountain of difficulties that he will encounter. I also have a reasonable amount of - dare I say it - hope that his intelligence, temperament and astounding self-possessed coolness will allow him to transcend those difficulties and leave a great mark on history.

We shall see.

Cynicism is the default pose for a Gen13er (aka GenXer). We grew up in a world that was falling apart, where faith in government was considered laughable but faith in the market was a given. But we don't like it very much. We don't believe in our cynicism; it's just there. The generation after us - the Millennials (or the Echo, or GenY) - are about to rebel against the prevailing tone of the day, as they always do. If that means a rebellion against our default cynicism - and according to Strauss and Howe, they're a Civic generation, so it's likely - then more power to 'em.

Nicely put Joe--the media and citizens alike should never give up entirely their adversarial stance BUT giving the man, the admin (anything but "commander in chief" please) a shot, some time to adjust, would be wise for all of us. Turning on him in the first few mo's, tearing down the living-bronze Obama, is highly counterproductive. He can accomplish much of this by continuing to speak to all segments of America, inviting them into his finer vision--neo-FDR like. But the media too, corp entity that it's become, must not grow too impatient, focusing on the piffle and the sexy in lieu of the transcendant causes that must be addressed. I'll be more impressed if this anti-cynical tone is the one you're using 6 months or a year from now. Otherwise, we'll be posting this momentary thought in response to the same old Joe. And I say this as the person voted most cyncial of his HS class.
