America’s future on hold
I don’t know who will win tonight’s Presidential election but I know that neither one represent America’s future given their ages of 69 and 70. Bill Clinton was in his prime at 46 when he became president. He was elected by his pier population group who felt they finally had one of their own in charge of the Country and their future in contrast to GHW Bush who was 64 when left office or Ronald Reagan at 77
Political policy or partisanship aside for a moment here. Bill Clinton was embraced as a classy, energetic, saxophone playing baby boomer who’s view of the world matched that of his American generation who elected him. Same goes for Barrack Obama who at 47 was elected as the smart, fit, techno-savvy cool cat with not one but two Blackberry’s who could fulfill the dreams and aspirations of his culturally diverse generation and younger. The Kennedy Camelot years began as he took office at age 43. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ( just sayin ) reflects the current and future world of wired in millennial’s, he can wax poetic about how quantum computing works and fits into their future world – not the current world of those who elected his father.
Lots of us, even most of us in our mid to late 60’s have an enormous amount of wisdom and experience to give, to be called upon for advice, guidance and still bring it every day to our places of work – but we are no longer the future of those places or Countries. So seriously, what Future of America does Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump represent?
America needs political renewal.
