Obama looked damn good at last night's State Dinner for Chinese president Hu Jintao. Maybe a little too good. His salt-and-pepper locks seemed noticeably darker. Did Barack Obama get a quickie dye job?
Take a look at these pictures, one taken the morning of the State Dinner and one taken later that night, at the dinner itself. It appears that Obama dipped into the White House salon in between, wiping out all the the distinguished grey. The Daily Mail thinks he wanted to impress the world on his big night—but maybe he just did it for Barack.
Imagine Obama dying his hair! What's next, a nose job for Biden?
LOL! Too funny!
While he was at it, a little Botox would have done wonders for the crow’s feet and marionette lines...
I mean, c’mon! He’s all about appearance, so he should make every effort to look good.
Actually, I also noticed President Bush and Bill Clinton's hair also changed colors during their Presidencies.
All the ChiCom leaders do it, so 0bama is just following his masters.
Later, he dressed up for the entertainment portion of the evening.
Must have grabbed something else when he reached for the Shinola. He doesn’t know the difference, dontcha know?
Skin and hair both lighter in first photo. Checked it in Photoshop and it appears to be just the lighting. With such a short cut, the light angles can a big difference when reflective scalp can be change the perception and color mixing. It’s not like Clinton’s hair which sometimes looked a little too managed.
The White House usually pays tribute to its state dinner guests w/ menus that pay homage to the visitors’ country. But the Chinese delegation wanted an American experience — which they are getting in spades on Monday Wednesday night.
The state dinner menu features Maine lobster, steak and potatoes and apple pie with vanilla ice cream, accompanied by an array of U.S. wines. And the entertainment is “An Evening of Jazz,” the uniquely American musical form.
Here is the menu:
* D’Anjou Pear salad with Farmstead Goat Cheese, fennel, black walnuts and white balsamic vinegar
* Poached Maine lobster with orange glaze carrots and black trumpet mushrooms, served with a Dumol Chardonnay “Russian River” 2008
* Lemon Sorbet
* Dry-aged rib eye with buttermilk crisp onions, double-stuffed potatoes and creamed spinach, accompanied by Quilceda Creek Cabernet “Columbia Valley” 2005
* Old-fashioned apple pie with vanilla ice cream, served with Poet’s Leap Riesling “Botrytis” 2008
The two previous state dinners hosted by the White House have taken place in tents erected on the building’s lawn, but Wednesday night’s was held entirely inside, with tables erected in the Blue Room, Red Room and State Dining Room for dinner, and the evening’s enertainment in the East Room.
The design theme also reflected the “Quintessentially American” theme. The dinner linens featured pheasants on patterned backgrounds in jewel tones, USA-CHINA/reminiscent of the work of the American naturalist artist John James Audobon. But the design was also a bow to China — the pheasant, the White House pointed out, is a native bird of China, revered for its beauty and seen as a symbol of nobility.
The floral arrangements incorporate feathers as well as flowers, berries and other greenery. And yellow – China’s national color — was present throughout the cocktail area. Red – the Chinese color for good luck, was also an element of the design scheme, and the color of first lady Michelle Obama’s state dinner dress, designed by Alexander McQueen.
The guest list included many well-known Chinese-Americans, and stars from the worlds of media, business and entertainment as well as the usual political luminaries.
=======================================
Several well-known politicians were notable for their absence. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat like Obama, sent his regrets, as did the two leading Republicans on Capitol Hill, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, and John Boehner, the Speaker of the House. Boehner has been invited to all three of Obama’s state dinners, and has turned down all of the invitations.
So, the gawker, is that a gay website?
Both pictures are creations of the WH colorist in residence......He changes his look according to the tone he wishes to portray. Typical Liberal. He has not done anything to earn the normal Presidential gray hair so many rightfully acquire. He is a national disgrace.
Long night.
The a-hole has made a career by being a professional phony all his life, why stop now?
He should have gotten rid of that wart, and had a better plastic surgeon stitch up his scalp.

The gray hair is a result of Obozo discovering that the Presidency is in fact hard work. Since he’s never worked hard for anything before, no wonder he’s going gray.
That’s not a bad-looking dress Michelle has on, for a change, except for the slippage of the top. Is she baby-oiled?
I have a silk scarf that’s a very similar fabric.
