random note -
Saw this on CNN.com and AOL – seems everyone is all aflutter about how the president ages during his time in office – looking significantly older from the time he starts till when he finishes.
Yes, it is a stressful job, but one thing that always strikes me is most of the Presidents of the television era were in their late 40s or early 50s when they took office and in their late 50s/early 60s when they left. OF COURSE they will look older – looking at photos of my own parents, they have aged significantly during their 50s – most than any previous decade, and they do not have the weight of the free world on their shoulders… Pictures of Bush 41 and Reagan before and after office don’t change nearly as much – but they already looked old…
so, net result, Obama will look older, how much of that is office, how much is nature?
