Neil Howe is a very typical Boomer. He is an excellent prophet!

Barack Obama is a Boomer/Xer cusp, so naturally he is not ultra-typical of either. I suppose I agree with your other choices.

NH is atypical of a boomer in that he tends to focus on describing processes from a neutral standpoint rather than focusing on making prescriptions or declarations (he does make these, but it tends to be toward the end). As a counter-example, my own writing style is very "boomer" in that I come out the gate with an opinionated, somewhat fiery tone. Millennials tend to mistake this kind of communication style for being incompetent/ignorant, when really there isn't much of a correlation in either direction.
