In sports 50
may be the new 40 and 60 the new 50
In terms of occupying
the oval office those observations somewhat ifty
Athletes who
treat their as temples the aging process
defeat
But the
office of presidency is a full time job of stress with little stress retreat
Being in the
oval office every day
Is a never
ending assault of stress coming a president’s way
The
president’s features are like the subjects of time lapse photography to display
Accelerating
the effects of aging as opposed to being it able to delay
Obama’s hair
with gray very soon
Rarely had
the same energy before when he entered a room
An athlete
knows that a mistake is not fatal tomorrow is another chance
A president
knows that a mistake means his agenda or our security may not advance
Joe Biden
the gaffe king would be 78 if in 2020 he won
No wonder
many Blues are questioning at that age why he should run
A sense of
duty to the country or a realization the Blue bench is rather thin
Coupled with
the ego all politicians possess a total belief he would win
Biden may
still have the office of the presidency to aspire
But against
a man of incredible energy like Trump he may gasp and tire
