I read a quote a few years ago from President Obama's barber and he said that the longer Obama's hair is the more gray shows up.
Time for a trim Mr. President
p.s. Thank you Kadie for posting the photos - I've been waiting all day and I knew you'd come through

VERY nice outfit she's wearing for a day like this. Chic, casual, simple, probably not that expensive. You don't need 1000-dollar ann romney t-shirts to look appropriate for a 4th of July picnic.
