After 19 months on the campaign trail, it comes as no surprise the stress of running for President of the United States is getting to Barack Obama. With only five weeks to go before the U.S.

[eeevil conservative]

LOL what a bunch of bunk....

he colored his hair to hide the gray....

then realized he has no experience and needed the gray to help him look experienced....

[DJ MacWoW]

What a load.

[coconutt2000]

He’s half black and half white...

Every kid knows that black+white=gray. /sarc

[Colonel_Flagg]

Well, let’s see. Black hair mixed with Red attitudes ought to make him orange, right?

[Lady GOP]

The prospect of him becoming president is making a few of us gray as well.

[MDformerDem]

He colored his hair during the Dim primary to appeal to all of the college students in the caucuses.

The grey comes and goes. It depends on the audience, it seems that live events are a little greyer. It makes him look wiser. NOT!!!

[AmericanMade1776]

I think in a few more weeks Barry will be Bald, as it is thinning too.

[eeevil conservative]

dang— I thought he did it for Oprah....

LOL

(waving to Michelle.....you man likes other men and fat women.....ha haha hahahahahahahaha)

[saganite]

That’s funny, I thought he was black, er I mean, African American.

-- Black hair mixed with Red attitudes ought to make him orange, right? --

Perhaps explains the purple lips.

[Beowulf9]

Yes, and if it actually happens he is elected I wouldn’t be surprised if it made Biden go bald.

[Colorado Doug]

It could be gray. It's got to be stressful running such a tangled web of deception for this long.

Bill Clinton did that.

[DJ MacWoW]

Boy isn't that the truth!

[sevinufnine]

Hey...maybe he’s dying it grey instead? Who knows...found the article amusing.

Anyhow, the responses from UK tell alot. He isn’t as loved over there as the U.S. press is leading us to believe. Here are a couple of the posts from over the pond that were on the article:
***************
Confirms what many already suspect. He is not up to snuff when it comes to pressure. Would he handle being Commander in Chief? No way.
- Michael Henry, Dalian,China,
***************
That’s nothing compared to what he will do to the rest of the world should the Americans be stupid enough to elect him.

****************
I doubt that he is anything like the man needed to steer any country through these times, he is far too young.

******************
I bet they are grey highlites... Deliberately done to make him look more mature. After all the Republicans have said that he is not mature enough to take on the top job.... and it is a known fact, that all politicians believe the voters are idiots. They also believe marketing and image, is more important than policies.
There, cynical rant over...

Pathetic. John McCain’s hair turned white after 5 years of being beaten and tortured every day as a prisoner of war.

Obama’s had to deliver a few speeches and he’s going grey already. I know who’se tougher and it ain’t the spiv lawyer from Chicago.

BS it’s a gravitas play.

"then realized he has no experience and needed the gray to help him look experienced...."

LOL! I wouldn't be surprised if his hair has no black & he purposely dyed it grey to look more "worldly wise".

[kaehurowing]

He wanted to show he has “gravitas.”
