President Obama’s hair, like the locks of most of the presidents in their second terms, has turned white. He says he doesn’t get enough sleep, but he’s nevertheless energized, not exhausted. Bored is more like it.
There should be plenty to keep the president from nodding off. He can see that the world is on fire, and there’s nobody to put out the flames. Immigrant waves continue to pour across the southern border. Vladimir Putin is trying to rebuild the Soviet empire and making it look easy. The economy continues permanent residence in the Dumpster. Even with the usual presidential mulligans, Mr. Obama still can’t break a hundred. Woe is definitely him. The zest is gone, replaced by lassitude. The French, as they usually do, have a $2 dollar word for it. The president suffers ennui.
Sometimes the terminally bored are the last to know. “You know,” the president told Chuck Todd, the new interlocutor of “Meet the Press,” over the weekend, “I actually feel energized about the opportunities we’ve got. There are days where I’m not getting enough sleep, because we’ve got a lot on our plate. You know, when you’re the president of the United States, you’re not just dealing with the United States.” It’s a grander job than that for the grander man. He’s the president of the world, with all its dilemmas, disasters and diseases, from the Ebola virus to the more virulent strains of distorted Islam. “You know,” he said, “our inbox gets pretty high.”
This sounds in skeptical ears like “poor me,” but maybe that’s unfair. The president is just bored. He doesn’t sound exhausted. He hurried away from his interview to play another round of golf at Fort Belvoir, in the 90-degree heat and killer humidity of late summer.

President Obama’s hair, (like the locks of most of the presidents in their second terms,) has turned white.

In his case, he ‘tweaks’ the color of his hair to indicate how hard he is working and all the pressure and strain he is under.
Recently,since his regime is in full blown race baiting mode, it looks like he has taken to the tanning bed and wearing colors to bring out his blackness.
It’s all about something he claims he really doesn’t care about...optics.
I think his complexion looks bilious. He really looks ill these days. Perhaps he’s gotten a new make up artist.
His neck and shoulders look positively bony in his suits.
But, he still has enough energy to do that fake athletic springy step when he goes up and down the steps of Air Force One.
“But, he still has enough energy to do that fake athletic springy step when he goes up and down the steps of Air Force One.”
I usually switch the channel when I know he’s coming on but now and then when I’m watching FNC, they show a video of him coming down the stairs of AF1 - it truly nauseates me. They don’t say it, but I suspect if any LIV or middle-of-the-roaders are watching FNC, they’re saying, Wow, look at our pResident, he’s so “cool” and so athletic, blah, blah, blah
He’s so jive is more like it.
When he can be bothered to return a salute from the Marine or airman at the foot of the staircase, it is the wimpiest salute ever.
