Obama Going Gray And It's Only 44 Days Into Presidency

New York Times:

WASHINGTON -- Well, that didn't take long. Just 44 days into the job, and President Obama is going gray.

It happens to all of them, of course -- Bill Clinton still had about half a head of brown hair when he took office but was a silver fox two years later, and George W. Bush went from salt and pepper to just salt in what seemed like a blink of an eye.

This happened to my husband. When he went to Iraq 2 1/2 years ago he had just turned 25, and only had the ocassional gray hair. When he came back 15 months later, over 1/3 of his hair was gray.

Take it easy Mr President!

These are all problems created over so many years.

Please DO NOT take such a large burden onto your shoulders.

The pressure can surely be devastating.

My word! That campaign last year with the Clinton's CONSTANT underhanded attacks on his very humanity almost and then all summer McCain blasting him every single day with a, just on the borderline, barrage of racist, bigoted attacks,again, on his very humanity almost, it's no wonder he has grey hair.

It was not a pretty sight to see that bigot McCain in photos from the White House dinner.
I for one, will never forget the McCain's vicious, ugly conduct during the campaign.

He started going gray during the campaign. That's a job I wouldn't want for nothing. Bush aged 30 yrs before leaving office. He looks old and haggard now.

Stress??? You bet. With the problems he is facing, most of us would be curled a fetal position with our thumb in our mouths.

He is all over the board. He is trying to tackle too much and you know what that means nothing gets done.
He needs to work on mortgaga/oans/bank/job lost/and everyone's 401K.
He needs to put health care on the back burner for the first two years.
We are in big trouble here, sir.

Sarah, I work in the health care industry. And, I see what is happening out there with people who cannot afford to go to a doctor. We cannot wait and I completely support our President in the push on this issue. If you have it I guess it is possible to be clueless about what it really means when you don't have it.

PROCRASTINATION is not the Hallmark of our 44th President.

I have been paying taxes for years. This is the first time in my adult life, I see a president who has been working on the American people to include those who are paying taxes, see politicians are earning our taxes doing the people business. .

Of course he is graying, Obama is probably the hardest working president in modern history.

I remember the fossil Ronald Reagan with not a white hair - he was soooo vain.

Vain or smart...who wants a very old President who looks like a very old man?

In America, perception is greater than reality. Old movie actors are apparently are thought of as wise, even though we stop looking at the word "actor" as in a person acting the part, does not mean he is that way in real life.

We have allowed our movies to make men be everything positive to include the bad guys or bad boys no matter what their age. The older men got, he was considered wise. Yet as a boy, they know girls are smarter and he is a very slow learner.

My common sense says as women get older they are twice as wise. Instead in America, women are called old women, old broads old anything and not to bright. She must be lead by a man to make it. All that is negative about a women by other women.

Whatever, jack@$$ made these rules for the mass population did do a dis-service to this country and those who followed those rules are still having problem in their families for doing so.
