4 or 5...

Obama gets ousted in 2012, and is most likely to be succeeded by a Boomer.

Every president who has defeated an incumbent has gone on to serve two terms.  So,  President X serves from 2013 to 2021. 

In 2020, the youngest Baby Boomers will be 56, the average age of a president at his first inauguration is 55 years old.  So, statistically we should have only one more Boomer president.

Why do you think Obama will lose reelection?

1) This "hopey-changey" stuff isn't really working out for him.

2) The statistical probability of Americans reelecting three presidents in a row just seems a bit low.

What's interesting is that we still haven't had a Silent Generation (1929-45) President (McCain would have been the first), and seeing as this group's youngest members are currently 65, we might never get one.

Carter (born October 1924) was a member of the Silent Generation.  The G.I./Greatest Generation ended December 7, 1923 (those born later than that were still children when Pearl Harbour happened).
