If you go by Strauss and Howe's timeline he is Gen X, and while he is definitely a Gen Joneser, he seems more Gen X-like to me than Boomer-like. He is too cautious and lacking in narcissism to be a Boomer.
I think Obama is a cusper, he is too old to be pure Xer, yet too young to be a pure boomer. His behaviour in office was similar to that of Justin Trudeau, who is certainly an Xer. Obama might be the matrix upon which the political persona of left-wing Xers is based.
