Recently I found a very interesting video over on YouTube that I wanted to mention here. The title of the piece is : " A 97-Year old Philosopher Faces His Own Death ". One should watch the 18 minute version of the video to get the full effect, a good program.

a year or so ago a study revealed that people think the "best" age for potus is ~48-52.

i tend to agree. my parents are as old as our current occupant and the last one. i point out how they nap often and might fall asleep during a movie.

now, they are really smart. but, are they capable of running a country? 

DrSpudnik

I doubt anyone over 60 is up to the job. Maybe if someone got in at 52 and lasted 8 years, then they're out. But starting at 60 is getting in mid-decline and staying to when people start having strokes and heart attacks and generally fading out mentally.
