WHAT STRESS.........he has already played more golf and been on more vacations than Bush did in four years. Puppets don't have stress.

I wish President Obama could take his time on each issue but instead he has to rely on others to do that for him while he dose his job of over seeing every body as they deal with the issues.
He starts the ball rolling and gets in the front of the camera while others working from his guidelines work out the details.
Those of you who does not think he can handle it should give him a hand (http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact) and maybe he could do better. those of you who would like to support him (http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact) maybe he will be encouraged. and those of you who will always find something wrong or can only think what your party thinks should find out why your life is so limited maybe somebody brainwashed you and you will never be happy until you get straited out.

Hard to imagine a President of the US of A within present times, not going grey as different ones remain, neither black nor well patched grey, if not completely white, within previous terms. His image has become impressive with many, if not most, within different European countries, as he has already established an administration from almost nowhere and performed several meetings around the glob, in a tempo like no other! His grey hair portraits him more a man of distinction who would not look the same should he have remained all black.

I support our President as I do all Presidents but his stress would be lessened by setting priorities instead of leading by shotgun. Multi-tasking may be his style but he is losing the populace with his issue hopping sending mixed messages. He should focus himself and the nation on priorities by outlining an agenda.

Obanas grey hair can be explained by the same reason that Reagan had no grey hair. A little bit of judicious coloring, and until today, no one in the Reagan clan will admit it.
Actually, ;makes him look a little bit more patrician

its not they are grey before your eyes. They actuall stop dyeing on a regular basis. Beorge bush/ both of them, Reagan, and Carter all went through it. Dont worry by election that grey will magically disapear like Bushs hair. The only prsident that did not great or show age was Clinton. i am wondering if that is a statement about his Sociopathy.

Barack Obama is the 13th president I've watched go gray before my eyes. A lot of presidents, yes, and lot of gray hair in my own case the result of all those years.
What a great opportunity being president of the United States is--not only for being a major part of the unfurling of days into months into years, but for having the opportunity to be the very best president ever. The opportunity to be the best ever comes to each of us but in such smaller ways and with such comparatively smaller stress.
Is it any wonder that Obama, in just ten months' time in office, is showing the result of what has to be overwhelming pressure 24/7? None of the rest of us has anything resembling that pressure regardless our situation if only for one reason: the daily nit-picking from the chorus of naysayers on the Right has no parallel in our lives. We don't have Rush Limbaugh trying to micromanage our every move. Or Sean Hannity claiming "news and information" about Obama's doings when he really means Right-wing propaganda designed to sink Obama.
How can Obama not go gray, grayer, grayest before our eyes when the hounds from Hell, the talk show hosts paid to make (1) noise and (2) money are incessant in their criticism. Nothing to criticize, no money. Sad lives, those, living like Spanish Moss on a host tree.
Obama knew the going wouldn't be easy. Can you hear Limbaugh, Hannity, and the rest singing "Hallelujah" in the background as they sing their way to the bank?
Godspeed, Mr. President.

Then it's probably all the dithering over how many troops to send to Afghanistan. Or how much money is needed to bribe individual congressmen/women and senators to vote his way on the POS health-care bills (Landrieu's $100 million for LA).
