Not from me you won't. John Kennedy and Theodore Roosevelt were in that age range when they were elected - but unlike Obama, Kennedy had commanded a warship in combat and been decorated for valor, spent eight years in the House of Representatives and six years in the Senate; and Teddy Roosevlet had commanded a regiment in combat (for which valorous service, long after his death, he received the Medal of Honor), been the Police Commisioner of New York City, an Assistant Secretary of the Navy and the Governor of New York State.
Obama's qualifications don't look very good when contrasted with those two heroes. You ought to make that Photoshopped file available for printing in poster size. I think you'd find a ready market for it.
And just in passing: TR and his son Theodore Roosevelt Jr. are one of only two father and son pairs that won Medals of Honor. The other pair is Arthur MacArthur and Douglas MacArthur.

Great post, Cyrano. I knew about the MacArthurs, but not the Roosevelts. Appreciate the information.
