An interesting piece which continues the ongoing anecdotal discussion about how the Presidency ages those who serve. I'm a little skeptical about some of this--I've seen a lot of middle-age/late middle-age folks who have aged quite a bit in 8 years' time, so while I'm sure stress may be a factor, I wonder how well this really factors in the natural aging process--and the manner in which other family members have aged. Some families, it seems, manage to stay looking young for a long time; with others, it seems, there is a moment when they all of a sudden start looking their age. Still, I'm betting that whether it's a result of being President, or just advancing in age from being 48 to 52 (and then 56 if re-elected), that Barack Obama will have a lot more gray hair when he leaves office.
