The thing that really gets to me about Obama's birth...

[Zomby Woof]

...is that he was born in the 1960's.

It is jarring that a president was born in the same decade as I was. x(






:P



Happy Birthday, Mr. President! :party:

1. Hey, it's the decade after me.

And my doctors are all babies.

2. Clinton was the first president younger than my parents

Although of the same generation. I was just getting used to that, lol.

At least Obama is older than I am, so I can deal. :D

14. Jimmy Carter is younger than my parents!

[Zomby Woof]

15. Carter is one year younger than my late grandmother

But Amy is my age. She was born much later than her siblings. :-)

[csziggy]

16. Thanks for making me feel old, LOL.

Helen Thomas is one of the few "celebrities" older than my parents that is still around - she's a year older than my Mom. I was surprised when they showed her age today - I thought she was younger. But then, my Mom is still as spry as Helen and still has brown hair like Helen, though Helen's is thicker.

One of the girls I graduated from high school with has a daughter about Amy Carter's age!

3. That's when you know you're getting old! n/t

[damntexdem]

4. Well, I certainly don't have that problem -- I was born a decade and a half earlier.

Hey, why'd we elect such a young whipper-snapper prez, anyway? ;-)

[Zomby Woof]

5. Hey Obama!

GET OFF MY LAWN!!! :D

[TNDemo]

7. Ha!

What was that joke that McCain would be yelling at kids to get off the white house lawn? It is so unnerving to look in the mirror in the morning and see my mother looking back - looking like she did in the nursing home.

6. That's 3 decades after me.. eom

[slackmaster]

8. I was already three years old when he was born

That does indeed make me feel old.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. More jarring to have a President younger than you are

by a decade. But I'm very happy to have an ADULT, a THINKING adult, in charge again. The best on your birthday, Mr. President.

[Zomby Woof]

10. I imagine that will be one or two presidents from now

At that point, I will be saying "No one my age has any business running the country!" ;-)

[Berry Cool]

11. I'm already saying it.

But I'm so tickled whenever anyone talks about how "young" Obama is...being roughly the same age.

[gmoney]

12. JFK was already president when he was born!

How nuts is that?

[Zomby Woof]

13. Kennedy is forever "young" in our consciousness

But would be 92 if alive today. Puts it in perspective, somewhat.
