Is that an excuse for 64-year-old Obama to be on vacation? I think octogenarian elected officials are mostly a bad idea, but I think all the older people out in the streets are heroic (and I'm on the board of @thirdactorg.bsky.social Act, 100,000 elders committed to climate and democracy).
Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."
