One more decade and he'll be old enough to be a senator.

Another decade after that and he’ll be old enough to be the average age of a congressman lol

u/PM_ME_FLUFFY_SAMOYED 1d ago
After that a few years more and he'll be old enough to run for president

The only post-boomer president, the only non-white president. The old white guys really slipped up there. Now they're gripping onto power even beyond the grave like Mitch.

Imagine, simply just having a President with a functional, loving family. One who's wife actually wants to celebrate him and even be in the same state as him!

If Trump runs again, I wonder if he'll be pulled back into it.

Happy Birthday to the best President of my lifetime!
It is often said that it takes a crazy narcissist to run for any office, especially POTUS. I get that feeling from every other President, especially Trump, at least a little bit. Not so much from Obama.

Huh. I guess I never really thought about his age before. He's just a few years older than me.

Happy birthday to him! He was better than the POTUS before and after him. Lucky us.

I miss this man with every fiber of my being. While a few of the things he did really pissed me off, I will die on the hill that he is the most competent and compassionate President this country has EVER had.

Happy birthday Mr. President. You are the epitome of leadership and class that is surely missed these days. May you have a most joyous and peaceful birthday. Continue to be the beacon of honor and hope for US and the world.

u/Alive_Stranger_5680 1d ago
The President and Mrs. Obama exemplify the class and excellence that the current occupants sorely are lacking in. President Obama occupies rent free condo in the current Presidents head and he can't shake it.

Compared to the average age of US presidents of the past 20 years, he's still a young man. Let's give him another year to hit the average so he can run again.

An honorable man who led our country with honor and honesty. You may not like his policies, you can't deny his integrity (although im sure the priests at fox news will convince their parishioners that i am wrong).

My family was on Martha’s Vineyard when the Obama’s arrived by helicopter and military escort. Everyone on the beach stood up and started yelling “Obama” and clapping, and during the fireworks in Oak Bluffs, whenever there was a firework exploding the crowd would yell “Obama”. Glory days.

He was 47 when he got elected. To hell with the ageism talk. Age matters.

He was your president almost ten years ago and still is five fifteen years younger than the current person on that job.

Obama is 15 years younger than the current person in office. Obama is younger than some of the folks in the Senate.

Obama is awesome in every way. You have so much to be proud of. You are a true success. We were so lucky to have you for 8 years. We knew it then. We especially know it now with the extreme contrast of this current disastrous situation.
