Oh, thanks for the reminder, jmarquise. You're absolutely right, Alexus deserves a prize for pointing out the bottom line: "Whether he does or not is really irrelevant isn't it? What does matter is THAT HE WON!"
So here's your prize--one rep point from normie, winging it's way to you!
Took the words out of my mouth. The stress is worth it all if you win. And the big point of note is that he won and is POTUS elect.
gimme a break. i would think running for president would give anyone a few gray hairs.
If that's what the stress has done to Obama, then McCain should be fossilized in a few weeks.
McCain doesn't have to deal with the stress a President does, so he will probably start looking younger!
I don't think he looks older. He got sun and got darker and just looks a little lighter now, he always had a little gray skin tone. His wife on the other hand will probably look like Barbara Bush in a few years and she's well on her way now.

What makes you say that? I think Michelle is a beautiful lady.
Obama's rapid aging probably has less to do with stress of the job and more to do with the lies he told and promises he made on the campaign trail. He won....time to keep the lofty promises and come clean or be found out on the lies. Worrying about keeping lies straight will definitely age a person.
Oh Body, Actually I am, but It seems like Presidents are on the fast track to death!
So, Why everybody is in love with this job?
Power is like narcotics, it is bad for the health and ages the man on the fast track, Consumes everything man has, and still man loves it and wants more and sacrifices everything for it,Family,Promises,Friends,Mates,...
and it tastes sweet but actually is bitter, almost like narcotics...
I would think that anyone facing the mess left by the last 8 years and accepting the awesome responsibility of trying to untangle it would age. If not, then they aren't taking their task seriously. I noticed that Hillary has aged considerably in the past year too. I think these are two responsible, intelligent people who know that the weight of the world is literally on their shoulders and it shows. God bless and keep them as they try to restore our nation.
I agree with the horrible last 8 years and the sense of responsibility of good politicians, but 2 years of everyday campaigning really is a killer process too.
And one question : Is the most important motivation for politicians,the love to serve people or the queen of POWER?
