49. He is also young

Mon May 21, 2012, 12:12 PM

May 2012

According to wikipedia......

Barack Obama was the fifth-youngest person inaugurated as President, at 47 years and 169 days old.

Not sure where his lovely wife ranks in age with other First Ladies but for sure, they both demonstrate every day that AGE MATTERS in 2012.

Whenever I watch him exit his Jet , I worry that he will miss a step but so far ~he takes each step with confidence.

Go My President, Go! Go!
