<p>I know that all US presidents are under an unusual amount of stress, and that turning somewhat gray over the course of two terms is typical. However, I have never seen a president turn so gray so fast. It is nothing short of shocking.</p>
<p>Please keep all responses non-political.</p>
<p>Maybe the better question is, why are men considered ‘distinguished’ with gray hair, while women are considered over the hill.</p>
<p>Half-black, Half-white = grey.</p>
<p>Open to interpretation.</p>
<p>It’s a staple of the news business to do comparative photos of presidents over time to see how gray they’ve gotten. I remember this kind of photo essay going back as far as Jimmy Carter, and every president since. There’s usually an implication that the man can’t handle the job – look at the toll this is taking on him! Silly, of course; as if we expect our presidents to be exempt from the normal aging process. MY hair is grayer than it was 3 years ago; I don’t know why anyone would be shocked that the president’s is.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s from now having a teenager in the family!</p>
<p>Another important questions is:</p>
<p>What is it with Michelle Obama’s giant rear end? (not political) and (definitely not sexist). It seems to be growing. On the other hand, I have noticed that Michele Bachmann has a small rear end and only one “l” in “Michele” whereas Ms. Obama has two "l"s in her name and a giant rear end. I’m thinking the difference is the extra “l”. My comments should not be construed as political (after all how can an “l” be political). And my comments cannot be construed as sexists because as well all know it is appropriate and mandatory to comment on a female politician’s physical appearance.</p>
<p>I think Michelle Bachmann is very good looking…much better looking than Ron Paul.</p>
<p>Being president made Clinton gray fast too: [Suburban</a> Sweetheart: Grey Matter: Bill, Barack & Me](<a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com)</p>
<p>I saw an altered photograph a couple years ago on the news predicting what Obama would look like after one term. His hair was completely gray. It looks like he’s on track to meet that.</p>
<p>He may have been dyeing his hair during the campaign.</p>
<p>^^ If that were the case, he’d still be dyeing it for the upcoming campaign.</p>
<p>Why? The gray looks “distinguished” and makes it more likely to look like he cares.</p>
<p>Then why would he have dyed it for the '08 campaign?</p>
<p>To make him look “youthful” and “new”.</p>
<p>Oh I see. Well, who knows.</p>
<p>Better gray than bald. However, even bald, Obama would still be a gorgeous man, in addition to his many other attributes. Sounds like sour grapes and envy to me.</p>
<p>razorsharp, thanks for letting us know you are an Ass Man.</p>
<p>Hair? There are much more important issues we have to address when it comes to Barack Obama. WHAT IS IT WITH HIS BMI? And the ears?! I demand the answers!!!</p>
<p>Good point. The ears.</p>
<p>How did they get that way? I mean seriously … why do they look like that? </p>
<p>the acceptable caveat (not political).</p>

<p>Mini, I think you’ve had more posts since arriving in India, than all of 2011 combined. Are you sure you’re studying a new language?</p>
<p>Actually, today I’m busy writing a magazine article, and I always cruise a lot when doing so. Especially in what, for many of you, is the middle of the night! (what are you doing up so late?)</p>
