Obama should come close. Carter was 56 when he left the White House. Obama was 55. Obama keeps fit and active and he quit smoking early in his presidency. By the time he reaches Biden's age now Obama would be 23 years an ex-president. I find that a bit surreal. I am beginning to think the 2008 ticket which produced two presidents should have been reversed. Biden going first when politics was more moderate and institutional and Obama as president now. Obama had far more talent which looking back I think was wasted in a time period where members of his own party didn't share the same height of ambition that he had. Whereas Biden who historically was a moderate himself is now pushing through very ambitious programs because the party is in sync.

He says there's no question that Trump lost his reelection race, narrowly but fair and square. Dole also describes Biden as "a great, kind, upstanding, decent person."

Also user Bert Trautmann joined less than three years before Bert Trautmann's death and was probably the only time a forum user broke the news of their namesake's death.

Damn he actually made it to his 98th Birthday. Pretty impressive feat given his health conditions. Found one article on his birthday but its more like a compilation of quotes from recent years, not much new stuff

As a child I used to marvel at how all judges had the forename "Justice". Mr Justice Davies, Mrs Justice Robinson and so on. Their parents must have had extraordinary foresight, I thought.

Very few left of centre Santas left.
