In the modern world, however, judgments of those in the public eye are becoming ever more superficial - contrary to the scriptural example. President [[William Howard Taft]] was a greatly obese man who was nonetheless able to be elected to high office and make not inconsiderable achievements; but it in the modern world it seems that any perceived physical defect would count against any candidate. Certainly it seems that politicians generally are becoming younger and more fresh-faced; the recent British Prime Ministers [[David Cameron]] and [[Tony Blair]] were both well below the historical average age for a Prime Minister, as indeed was [[John Major]], while older men such as [[Michael Howard]] and [[David Davis]] have been marginalised and even ridiculed despite their superior experience. | In the modern world, however, judgments of those in the public eye are becoming ever more superficial - contrary to the scriptural example.
