Two afflicted with Potomac Fever

Prior to the 1960 election there was some discussion about age and running.

Stan The Man Musial, born November 21, 1920, was considered getting too old to run.  Jack Kennedy who born May 29, 1917, was three and a half years older was considered too young to run.

Kennedy was about 43 and a half years old when he took office.

His predecessors:

Dwight David Eisenhower:  Was 62

Harry S Truman:  Was 61 when he took office

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:  Was 62 at his last inauguration.

Our country grew old with FDR.  Both Kennedy and Nixon were of a younger generation.

I feel that Obama's disastrous foreign policy is in part due to his inexperience (youth).  Comments on his foreign policy can be found at http://www.thenational.ae/opinion/comment/obamas-flawed-foreign-policy-doctrine-laid-bare

According to the Urban Dictionary:

Potomac Fever (n): A disease peculiar to the greater Washington, DC, metropolitan area that presents chiefly as an intense desire in the infected to be associated with the power and prestige of the United States Federal Government, particularly the Executive Branch. Associated symptoms include acts of extreme obsequiousness to those in power or likely to be in power; asserting as fact things one knows or suspects not to be true and; a burning desire to do more work for less pay.

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz seem to be afflicted by Potomac Fever.
