Obama specifically blames "old men" for most of world's problems in new interview

:)

"If you look at the world and look at the problems it's usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way. It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self importance or your own power."

Youth, flair and intellect can only get you so far. As the worst recession since the 1930s grinds the nation into political disillusionment and economic hardship, America is turning for inspiration to grizzled veterans with a proven store of age, wisdom and experience.

Seemingly tiring of his wayward younger crop of economic advisers, Barack Obama has put his faith in an 82-year-old former Federal Reserve boss, Paul Volcker, to spearhead epochal reforms of Wall Street banks, kicking off with a bravura performance before sceptical Congressional lawmakers.

Ah, good, the run of ignored posts is starting up again. :D

The thread has managed to trigger the Trumpettes again.
 
The Times They Are A-Changin'
Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
Songwriters: Bob Dylan
