I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight while males, since they're already in the majority.

Obama is late baby boom. The early baby boomer presidents were Bill Clinton and George W Bush, and as someone towards the elder end of what is called "millennial" I'm not impressed.
As for the earlier point, one of the things that's actually notable about the millennials is that they on average don't hate their elders much at all. They maybe should, for reasons mentioned up this thread, but they don't. I mean, how about the simple fact that their overwhelming support went to a guy in his 70's?

Hating your elders' generations doesn't mean you can't see that one particular person is an exception to that generation.
I'm all about hating on the Boomers and also the Xers (which is funny because I'm an Xer, though one of the younger ones). These generations have done a terrible job in how they've run this country. But that doesn't mean that everyone in those generations is a bad person; it just means that overall, those generations of people have sucked at politics and management. There were great people in every generation.
Similarly, it's not irrational to hate politicians in general, while granting an exception to one or two of them.
