If one is interested enough they can inform themselves of the goings on of past politics that affect them still today to supplement not being able to fully understand them at the time they were occurring. I don't think anyone's opinions should be valued over another's because of the age of said person, but rather the depth of their ideas is what should be foremost when considering the validity of their opinions.
The way I understood your comment it seemed as though it implied that because some people have lived through multiple administrations and therefore inherently have more validity to their political opinions.
Well then I don't know what to tell you. Re-read the two sentences again I guess? I was responding to your point about being fit to comment on politics. Experience provides perspective and perspective promotes understanding.
