Hats off to , which points out that:
Barack Obama, one of the youngest presidents ever to take the oath of office when he’s inaugurated Jan. 20, will be working with the nation’s oldest Congress.
The average age will be 57 in the House and 63 in the Senate, according to the chambers’ historical offices. In each case, it’s the highest on record.
The oldest Congress ever. This is not to say that there aren’t some bright young Republicans in Congress (see , age 27, and a handful of others), but we certainly have a ways to go before we see .

It’s good see such fresh faces in American politics, be it in Congress, or in state government. I think that it is not enough to focus on Congress, but on the states too.
Absolutely, we need young faces in our States and in our local governments. I must give kudos to Aaron Schock…what an exciting young man, he will be to watch. We need more Aaron’s throughout our Country. Please!
