Vajpayee should be commented for comig out that he is not interested to become President. We should respect that, than thust this exalted post on unwilling shoulders.
Having people with physical disabilities as President is a regressive step, when the whole world is looking for young and energetic leaders.
We will be an anomaly, when even countries like China are going for for high octane leaders. Though age should not be an all important criteria, we have to fill up with people who are healthy and fit to travel within and outside the countries. Some of our even younger ministers hardly look healthy and carry themselves poorly, when we compare them with those from even poorer countries. Please don't tell me they are that poor. They can look poor, may be, when they visit their constituencies, but not when you are visiting other countries and receiving foreign dignitaries.
It is pathetic to see people having ambitions when they are almost wheel chair bound. The young should be given hope and these types, with heavy baggage carried forward from donkey's years, should step back without embarassing all.
They can still have a roll to play by airing their views from the sidelines, but do not overstay the welcome.
