Every time I hear Obama referred to as "young" I imagine several million people who voted for him, all aged 18-29, yelling "whaddya mean young? He's 47, fer Gawd's sake!"
Posted by Linkmeister at November 6, 2008 09:15 AM | TrackBackMore than a year older than Jack Kennedy was on the day he died (and almost four years older than JFK was on Inauguration Day).
Almost exactly a year older than Bill Clinton was on January 20, 1993.
Seven months older than Ulysses S. Grant was on March 4, 1869.
Obama will be the fifth-youngest American to be sworn in as POTUS, and only the third-youngest of the (about to be) 12 presidents in your lifetime and mine.
