Looking at my blog feed, a post came up that showed President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address from his first year as president, to his last one just this month. The contrast is startling, because he looks as if he has aged 20 years.
Even though he will be turning 55 this year, these days it’s not that old. With the wonders of modern science, 55 is the new 45. Just out of curiousity, I looked into our past presidents. Starting from Barak Obama and going backwards.
Fortunately for George W. Bush, the only thing different from his first to last address was the lighting, couple more wrinkles, and a woman in a seat of power behind him.
George H. W. Bush got contacts and again a couple more wrinkles. If poor Obama is going to be the only one showing how the presidency affected his features?
He should be rewarded for his efforts, not let it age him!
Alright last one, let us see if Reagan had any negative effects from his presidency.
Slightly more wrinkles, a lighting change, an obviously better camera man and a few more grey hairs, but again not much difference from his first to last address within eight years.
Hopefully, the next president will not be as changed by the job as the presidents preceding him/her. But as it stands now, they will get more wrinkles at the very least.
