Joe was born November 20, 1942.
He will be 78 in 2020.
He would be 82 at the end of his first term.
BTW, I'm a year older.

But at age 69 I wouldn't be running for President.

And Democrats' unwillingness to let a younger generation in is truly disturbing. Makes me wonder how we ever managed to elect a young whippersnapper like Obama.
