15. A friend of mine (and most of DU) will be 65 in 3 days and he agrees

He has run for president before. I already asked him, less than a month after Obama's first inauguration in 2009, if he thought he'd ever run again, and he said, no, younger people need to be doing this job. "Obama is about the right age," he said.

He might consent to be a candidate again in 2016, but VERY reluctantly, and his wife would go ballistic. He said he would only do it if there were a complete vacuum, and the Democratic Party would be in dire shape if that were the case.

So, your parents are in good company.
