Hi,

I don't think age matters very much -- either way. Judgment, curiosity, life experiences, empathy, leadership, the ability to understand the root of a issue -- these are things that matter.

Lincoln was 52 and inexperienced in national politics.
Kennedy was 43 and came from a position of relative privilege.
Clinton was 46 and came from an average background.
Grant was 46 and he had lots of military experience.

List of United States Presidents by age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Average "age at ascension" is 54 years old. Youngest is 43; oldest is 69.
Obama will be 48 which is 6 years younger than average, and McCain would be 72, which is the oldest by a little less that 3 years. So what?

Back to energy policy -- has anybody actually read the PDF of Obama's energy policy I linked to?
Where is John McCain's energy policy?
