This morning on the CBS Morning News show they did a story on how Obama seems to be aging!
It's his birthday and they showed picture from last year with his hair looking dark and a newer one showing how he's getting white hair. Then they showed pictures of Bush and Clinton and how they aged in office and said, "nobody can know what Obama will look after four years if he's elected." So my question is we have a very old looking 72 year old running for president and why don't they ask what he will look like after four years and how sharp his mind will be in four years given all the gaffes he's already had on the campaign trail.

4. "nobody can know what Obama will look after four years if he's elected."
Better than MCCain't does now, for one thing.


Obama looked wonderful when I saw him Saturday, and I was probably 50 feet away.

8. This is good news.
Because McCain wants to play on his youth, but if he looks more seasoned, it might ease some voters tensions about him.
