The Obama Generation; Will Obama convert the USA to metric?

My hope, for our country's sake, is that this generation won't undo what Reagan If this sounds over-the-top, it's worth remembering that Ronald Reagan pulled off a similar trick. Just as Obama is the favorite candidate of younger voters today, there's no question that Reagan's instinctive libertarianism resonated with a generation that felt suffocated by the mediocrity of the 1970s. Rage against stagflation and diminished expectations sparked a revolution in American business, one that made the economy more productive but also more unequal. Whether or not Obama wins in November, I'm curious as to how the Obama generation will change this country. My hope, for our country's sake, is that this generation won't undo what Reagan wrought, but rather that it will deepen our democracy by bringing new Americans into the fold. Either that or they will, like the French revolutionaries, force us to adopt the metric system.
