The fierce urgency of Just For Men
03/05/09
You can't fault the New York Times for not having their finger on the pulse of America. A front page story today:
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.
But so soon? “I started noticing it toward the end of the campaign and leading up to inauguration,” says Deborah Willis, who, as co-author of “Obama: The Historic Campaign in Photographs,” pored through 5,000 photographs of the first head over the last year.
FREAK OUT!!!!!!
And they've got the photograph to prove it:
I'll be a ripe, old 27-years-young in 10 days, and I've already got gray hairs. I've had them for a little while now. And I'm not even the President of the United States. My wife tells me that it makes me look "distinguished".
Perhaps this is happening because Obama is stressing so much, worrying about how he's going to pay for that massive "stimulus" plan and the omnibus budget with all those earmarks now before Congress?
Naaaahhhhh.... I doubt he concerns himself with much of that at all.
Perhaps he's squaring up a deal to be the spokesman for the Hair Club for Men? Remember, he's not just a member... he's the President!
