DAMN!!! I just realized that for the first time in my life the POTUS will be younger than me!

[KansDem]

I knew there was a reason to vote for McCain!

[MaineDem]

1. Me, too

But I never even considered...not even for half a second...not ever in this lifetime...to vote for McCain. :evilgrin:

[KatieW]

12. Same thing here, LOL I mentioned that to a few friends earlier this week.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Yes, that fact hit me during a walk yesterday...oh, my creeky knees...

[KansDem]

9. Well, as Robert Frost said...

Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be...

And after Tuesday, I'm really beginning to believe it!

[Trajan]

3. Same here ....

There are legions of us here .... the 45-55 crowd ....

[azmouse]

4. Obama is younger than me but only by 2 days.

Does that count? :)

[MANative]

5. Me too, by 361 days. So I consider him a contemporary!

Still can't come up with any reason I'd have voted for McCain....

[BurtWorm]

6. Damn!

:cry:

[Flying Dream Blues]

7. Me, too! nt

[DCofVA]

8. Me too, by just two years but, it makes me feel great when others refer to him as a young man.

:)

[JP Belgium]

10. Clinton was younger than Mick Jagger, Obama younger than me... (n/t)

[Historic NY]

11. Me too by one whole Senate term.....damn I'm getting old.

[cameozalaznick]

13. Me too. Generation Jones. eom

[all.of.me]

14. Me, too.

I remember feeling that Clinton was a peer when he got into office, and that was weird. For my whole life, up until then, Presidents were all old farts, but Clinton was so young, more my generation. Now the President Elect is eight years younger than I am. THAT is weird. It doesn't make me feel old. It just feels like a shift.

[wiggs]

15. Oh, crap! Why does stuff like that keep happening? nt

[grantcart]

16. I know and another reason to support Clinton in 2016 lol

[ramapo]

17. Bad enough my doc is younger

That was a tough adjustment but POTUS?

[truthisfreedom]

18. Does that mean I'm upside down like my mortgage?

8^|

[Love Bug]

19. Yep. You know you're getting old --

when your president and all your doctors are younger than you. Get used to it!

[Pattib]

20. I know he was born in 1961, is he older than me? I'm Oct. 19, 1961. Damn, I am getting old.

[damonm]

24. HAH! Yer BOTH older than me! 12/6/61 here...

Happy belated 47th, BTW!

[anakie]

34. 10/7/61 here

the 1961 generation has taken over. Hooray. In Australia our new PM is 51yo and his deputy Julia Gillard is another from 1961.

It feels great that our generation is now in charge.

Peace

[RamboLiberal]

21. Same here -- but I'm so glad to hand it over to another generation

Time to let the next generation take charge. The pre-boomers and boomers have screwed things up enough though some of us really tried our best to keep it from happening.

[KansDem]

29. "Time to let the next generation take charge. "

I agree. It'll be their world, after all.

But I still can't help but feel like I've stood on the sidelines and watched ours pass!

[PlanetBev]

22. Me too, but couldn't be happier

It will be a happy birthday on November 17 when I turn 58 and Howard Dean turns 60.

[Nedsdag]

23. He's two years older than me.

Michelle is four months younger than me.

Pretty scary, huh?

[Jennicut]

25. Obama is 15 years older then me, that is not a lot to me.

It feels good to have a young president again, like Bill Clinton. McLame felt like my Grandpa. Obama feels like an older uncle. Its all cool.

[mopinko]

26. yup. geezerdom

is bearing down on my pretty hard.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

27. He is 1 year and 23 days older than me

We were both born during the Kennedy Administration. I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Iggo]

28. He's less than a year older than I am.

Weird. Hadn't thought of that.

EDIT: And by "Weird" I mean "Kinda cool", not "Oh noes, I'm concerned!"

[treestar]

30. Me too

2 years younger, though overall I consider that contemporary.

[mmonk]

31. Yes. And me also (except the McCain part).

[Median Democrat]

32. Obama is Younger Than Madonna!

If you listened to her as a kid growing up, then the election of Obama just confirms that we are getting old.

[Window]

33. LOL! He's the exact same age as my twin daughters. I feel ancient.
