I'm ready for a younger president. It's one of the reasons I'd give consideration to voting for Obama. The baby boomers have had their chance, and they've pretty well fscked everything up. It's time to give us lazy slackers of GenX a chance.

I almost look at this in similar terms to "what is the right age to get married?"
Some people are ready at 18. Some people are never ready. My dad is the perfect example of the latter.
