List of Presidents of the United States by age

Ronald Reagan was 69 when he took office, but I think she will go for it in 2012 because Obama will look worse than Carter by then and she can ride to the rescue.

Lots of hyperbole, few numbers. They practically contradict themselves on a couple of occasions.

“They better be ready at the end of the Obama term. He is probably the most likely flight risk in human history.”

Indeed.

It’s going to be very interesting to see where Obama chooses to live _after_ he is out of the office.

(Aside: he was never really _in office_ in the first place....)

She is going to ignore minority issues. I think the consensus is blacks, gays, illegals, criminals are going to vote for the Democrat no matter what.

Hillary will target the soccer moms and independents who will hopefully vote Conservative this election cycle. Obama lost them, probably permanently.

Basically, she will tune her rhetoric enough to the right of Obama, and enough to the left of the GOP, to capture as much as she can.

All poll tested rhetoric of course.

Jews voted for him by 73%, not 80%. But, yeah, way too high to make any sense. I wonder how many of them still support him - probably only the ones who couldn’t care less about Israel.

It all depends on where we are directed to look.

A son back in the early 50’s had a risqué line but punctuation is everything.

She’s got freckles on her but, (extended pause here) she’s still pretty.

She’s got freckles on her, (extended pause here) but she’s still pretty. This is the way it is written.

There really was a leave it to Beaver era, but the real Cleavers were not nearly as well off as the TV version of the family.

Obama got 53% of the popular vote, vs. Gore getting 49% in 2000 and Clinton getting the same percentage in 1996. What gave him that extra 4% was the big upsurge in voting among young voters and minorities.

The Democrats may be trying to think of an "October surprise" strategy to fire up their base in November 2010, but Obama as President has more power to make things happen--he may prefer to do nothing this year and do something dramatic in 2012.

Thanks Zakeet.
He energized a coalition -- made up of blacks, women, Latinos, young voters and large numbers of suburbanites... A majority of those who voted for Obama still approve of the job he is doing. But that number is eroding.

Only to dense newspaper writers. Like those who are constantly caught by “unexpected” jumps in unemployment Munder an economy-wrecking administration.

Bingo

I think you’re right. Hillary smells blood in the water. She’ll go for it.

If that turns out to be the case, what are the odds that Sarah Palin rides in to the fray as a GOP Mustang? If Hillary displaces too many liberals in seeking to force Obama to the curb might Palin's (seemingly )inherent polarization benefit? I guess what I'm trying to say, is if the white liberal establishment turns on Obama, might the fallout benefit Palin in a backlash? Does that make sense?
