    It’s kind of sad, but we have to temper expectations on both of the candidates. These two both hit retirement age over a decade ago and we’re trying to put them in potentially the most stressful job in the nation.

    • Hostilities were mostly over, but these two were technically alive during World War 2.
    • The first meeting of the United Nations was after these two were born.
    • The current incarnation of India as a country is younger than these two.
    • They’re both older than NATO.
    • We only had 48 states when these two were born.
    • These two were already out of high school when Martin Luther King delivered his speech.

    I could just keep going forever on these. I am not sure that this is the job for anyone so far removed from their prime.
