Mmm stress, sounds familiar. I didn't start getting gray hair until after I was married.
:balloon2:
Silly piece but the truth of the matter is he was already going gray on the campaign trail. He probably had some stylists stem the tide of time which is why it wasn't as noticeable.
nah. they will never turn on him. never.
if mccain had all these scandals about bad appointees id bet you the media would crucify him, if not worse.
Im guessing it will possibly take them more than a month and a half to turn on him... something about a honeymoon period....
Always been a much bigger fan of the partisan approach.... i don't like him and i don't like his views, so im going to criticise regardless of the facts... now why cant the papers be more like this eh ?
Tony Blair aged hugely whilst in office, see a picture of him in '97 with a full head of black hair, he didn't loom too different from a white obama, see him when he leaves office, not just has his hair gone grey but his skin has aged dramatically as well...
Dramatic ageing seems to be the price of power...
Yes but Tony Blair is 55-56 years old which is certainly not too young to get wrinkles and a head of gray hair. His ancestry is also predominantly Brit & Germanic. No offense but um, northern Europeans, particularly those of Anglo, Irish & Scot ancestry, don't uh, age too well.
Unfortunately it doesn't discourage them. >:|Quote:

Highly offended! ~;)
Whilst i don't doubt that his ancestry may play a part in his more dramatic ageing, im sure i remember an article on it in the paper, and around the iraq war was when he seemed to age the most.... im fairly sure the stresses and strains paticularly around iraq war and some of the anti terror legislation sped up his ageing a fair bit...
The pundits (who Lemur says are always wrong; and I agree) say that The Amazing Mister O has about 18 months before the citizenry & media make this econ crisis "his", instead of Bush's or something else. Ninety percent of econ experts polled by the Wall St. Journal think we'll be 'out of the woods' before January 2010. So his task between now and then: just don't drive the economy over a cliff, i.e. don't make changes that can't be un-done later, when things get back on-track.
And yeah: I've always noted the ageing factor in Chief Exec's over time. Serves 'em right, taking on the toughest job in the world, without realizing it is so.
I would vote for Geraldo in a heartbeat
