4. I actually don't think he's aged that much

He aged more during the campaign - compare pics of his February of '07 campaign kickoff and the inaugural. His hair is way grayer.

And it's also fun to watch the '04 keynote - he looked like a baby compared to now.

But the past year? In spite of everything, he's holding up pretty well. Let's just see if he ages as much as Clinton did in eight years.

5. In that first pic, he was just hella cold.....

and in the 2nd one, he simply looks like he realizes that after exercising more patience
than any of us have given him credit for (cause we wanted it all two days after the
first pic), now has come the time to kick Republican ass and nuts,
cause the correct perception has been set (and you know how hard that is with
a fucked up media reporting every ass scratch and then some!)

Actually, he looks much more tired in that first pic...might have been understanding
that the economy was going to be a real giant ass biotch bringing it back
to any iota of normalcy.

6. Doesn't it always?

And, you know, I think that was one of the things he knew going in!

11. Welcome to DU, The Damned!

7. Looks To Me Like He Is Thriving On The Presidency......

he actually looks better now than then.

[BuelahWitch]

8. I think he's held up surprisingly well

Was just thinking today that his hair doesn't look much grayer, if at all, despite all the bullshit.

12. He has said that being in the WH is easier as far as seeing his family then campaigning was.

I believe it. I think he is happier and holding up better now then when he was campaigning.

[treestar]

13. He looks just as fired up

Being grayer, that happens at 47-48 with stress or without.

[GoCubsGo]

14. Yep.

I'm about 6 months older than him, and graying about as fast he is, with comparatively less stress.

[MadMaddie]

16. I am 44 and my gray is coming in uneven dammit...

my dad was solid gray at around 35.

[and-justice-for-all]

15. I think he looks great...nt
