以美国人的划分法,美国当选总统奥巴马以及其提名的多位内阁高官都被称为“琼斯一代”( Generation Jones,1954年至1965年出生的人),而这一代又被称为是美国“最愚蠢的一代”,所以美国《华盛顿邮报》近日发表文章称,美国将开始被“最愚蠢的一代”领导。

  《华盛顿邮报》在报道中说,奥巴马、财政部长提名人蒂莫西·盖特纳都是在美国历史上被称为“最愚蠢的一代”,即受歧视的“琼斯一代”,但随着琼斯一代逐渐掌握华盛顿政坛,这一代人已不再受到歧视。

  “琼斯一代”由政治顾问乔纳森·波淘命名,“琼斯”具有“渴望”的含义,此外,在美国俗语中还具有“染上毒瘾”之意。介于“婴儿潮一代”和“X一代”之间的“琼斯一代”,在美国教育部
实施的全国教育进步评价(NAEP)和美国高考(SAT)中创下了历史最低分。此外,随着电视文化在20世纪70年代迅速得到推广,这一代被指比其他时代的人更愿意看电视而不是学习,且青年吸毒者较多。奥巴马也曾在自传中称:“曾吸过毒,且小时候不爱学习。”

  奥巴马周围有不少“琼斯一代”。国土安全部部长提名人珍妮特-纳波利塔诺、候任白宫办公厅主任伊曼纽尔和联合国大使提名人苏珊-赖斯都属于这一代人。目前被提名的下届白宫官员中,2/3属于这一代或比这一代更年轻。“问题时代的人”将从政治上“管理”考试成绩最好的“婴儿潮一代”。
