Re: The Guardian on Berlusconi (none / 0)
I wonder how long Bill Clinton could have managed to hang on we're US presidents not term limited out, and discouraged by tradition from staying in active politics after they step down.

I can see America mourning incumbent president Ronald Reagan in 2004.

Re: The Guardian on Berlusconi (none / 0)
That second point, about staying out of politics after leaving office, hasn't really been tested lately. Mostly we have had either really old guys as President, or younger guys who have left office under a cloud (Carter, Clinton, and W). It would not surprise me if Obama showed up as a Senator in a few years; he's only 52 now.

Well, except for the global economic collapse that is about to be triggered under his administration.
