He has made a couple of blunders on CNN while he was in Iraq, getting the factions confused. Being the president is the most demanding job there is, not only mentally but physically. You can see the effects on every president we've had in the last 20 years. The before and after pictures tell the story. Of course his age is a factor.

Just like any job, physical ability is an issue. When we've had a president too impaired to do the job (Reagan) or too lazy (Bush), the results have not been very good and we have wound up with other people running the government behind the scenes. One of Obama's main assets is his youth. It would be foolish not to throw it out there for comparison for voters to look at.
