Unless they're very ill. I know it's common for presidents to age quite a bit during their presidencies but this is ridiculous! I truly wonder if there's something physically wrong with him.

3. It's kind of a reverse Dorian Gray thing. Somewhere there is a
portrait that looks like him as a child.

4. Evil, greed, lust, hatred, and bitterness do that to people.
Bush has all of these ten fold.

5. Once he started on this Eye-Rack shit, his daddy went up to the attic
and peed on that Dorian Gray-style painting up there....

Daddy don't like having Sonny try to 'prove' anything to him.

8. I'm silver and very handsome if I may say so

12. I have no doubt. But--the difference between the dark hair and gray
that Bush is now is very aging.

Pretty standard for a guy at that age to look alot older after 8 years.

10. Bush has aged, but in all honesty
I can remember seeing that campaign photo in 2000, and thinking he looked far younger in it than he did on the campaign trail. It was almost like it was a left-over from his failed campaign for Congress.

If you want to see a President age, compare pictures of Lincoln in 1860-61, with the last photos of him taken in the late winter/early Spring of 1865. He was only 56, four years younger than Bush, and he looked like he was 80.

15. As far as I can tell, that happens to all Presidents.
The job's so stressful it'll age you 15 years for each term.

Look at Clinton, Bush I, Reagan. Same thing happened to them.

16. bear in mind that he has never really worked a day in his life
so, even though he barely works now and is pretty insulated, this is more stress than he has ever had to deal with in his life

17. I don't see it.

Bush doesn't appear to have aged all that much to me. His hair is different, but apart from that, he looks pristine for a 60 year-old. My dad certainly didn't look anywhere near as young as Bush when he died at 60, but then- my dad worked for a living. Bush spends most of his time playing on his bike.

18. The pictures of Bill Clinton
Reminded me of how he looked before he left office, old and tired, with huge bags under his eyes. He looks better now than he did then. I know he had stress on him that we can't come close to understanding. I'm sure bush, as goofy as he is, still has loads of stress on him also. IMO being the President, whether a good one, or bad one, gives you a lot to worry about, I would imagine they hear things everyday that would scare the shit out of most people, and if the truth were told, the best they can do is hope like hell something really bad doesn't happen, because there probably isn't much they could do about it. I sure wouldn't want the job.

20. All presidents age in office quite a bit.
I don't know what Chimpy's excuse is. He has done nothing but vacation and interrupt my favorite television shows since his daddy's crew took over the White House. :shrug:
