(198 posts)His health is good as is his mind. However as President he does not have to travel as much either. He is the POTUS, people come to and wait for YOU after all. He will also have a cabinet to do all the leg work for him anyway.
It also depends on why they age, stress of the job, travel schedule, combination of factors?
Maybe being photographed daily for 8 years makes it appear they age faster then normal when they entered office and left office when pictures are compared to each other. How much have you changed over the last 8 years?
I have a theory that Presidents who age the most really are not biologically wired for the job. for example not everyone is mentally capable of being a commercial airline pilot the stress alone disqualifies the majority of the population, same with astronauts. Face it being elected POTUS today is pretty much a popularity contest now. Being able to raise money and give good speeches gets one the office then the reality sets in of having to make real life and death decisions daily. It is something that few people can deal with.
I fully support Bernie for POTUS any thought's on a VP choice?
