Obama Turns 48
The 44th President of the United States turns 48 today. Born in 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii, he came into the world at the tail end of the Baby Boom. During the 2008 campaign, much was made of the fact that he was younger than the other candidates. But did you know that he is actually not the youngest man ever to be sworn in? A bit of trivia: According to Wikipedia, Obama is the 5th youngest person to be inaugurated as President. Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and Ulysses S. Grant, who were 42, 43, 46 & 5 months, and 46 & 10 months respectively at the times of their first inaugurations, beat him out for the title.
