Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 129: “President Obama Turns White Over Debt Ceiling”

He's older now, he's got grey hair and all
He's got two teenage kids, John and Paul
One of them is having the same problems he did too
He just says son hold on here's what you've got to do

Got to hold your head up high if you're gonna see at all
Got to put your foot above the rest if you're gonna rise at all
Got to spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall
'Cause it's the road that you choose that'll take you through it all “The Road You Choose”, Jerry Jeff Walker

Before any of y’all pitch a conniption fit be assured we aren’t playing the race card, there is absolutely no reason at all to contact the PC storm troopers, and we are sure enough not suggesting Mr. Obama has by any means pulled a Michael Jackson and dyed his skin white. All we are talking bout here is the truly astonishing speed in which our rapidly aging“ARRPMember-in-Chief’s” short cropped pitch black hair has turned a powdery white.

All Presidents seem to show signs of accelerated aging. Reckon when you consider the high stress level that comes with the demanding challenges and daunting responsibilities confronting the leader of the free world it’s not surprising how much these folks physically age during their terms in office.

A comparison of the before and after photos of several recent occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. sure enough substantiates our observation. The physical breakdown of several of our former Commander-in-Chiefs is truly a sight to behold.

W actually held up fairly well considering the unrellenting unfounded attacks from the hyper-partisan left wing press; 9/11; The War on Terrorism; Katrina; two years of a Democrat controlled Congress including having to deal with the likes of Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid. The latter which would surly drive most folks to strong spirits, narcotics and not only white hair but massive and premature balding.

The rigors of office had a seriously adverse impact on former President Clinton. Hard living, skirt chasing and playing loose with the truth also had a profound influence on Saturday Night Bill’s post Presidency appearance.

Papa Bush just like his boy W weathered his one term in office without a lot of outward signs of stress. A genuine, bona fide WWll fighter pilot and war hero this patriot was well prepared to deal with stress and strain of the Presidency.

President Reagan on the right doesn’t look a day older than a much younger version of himself serving as Governor of California. In fact, the old Cold War Warrior’s youthful exuberance spread confidence and pride faster than kudzu throughout a previously shell shocked and downright seriously wayward nation.

Jimmy “Peanut” returned to his no count white trash ways after a truly disastrous 4 years in office. The worst President in US history right up to the inauguration of one Barack Husain Obama. His mental, intellectual, and physical decline during what can only be described as a train wreck of a Presidency was a national disgrace and an international disaster of unprecedented proportions.

President Obama’s truly alarming rapidly declining physical well being including his premature graying/ white hair has obviously been greatly impacted by the extremely stressful environment inherent to the highest office in the land. That being said most of the stress and strain thrust upon Mr. Obama’s narrow shoulders has been self inflicted.

Examples of this self inflicted stress abound. Following are a few of the most egregious examples:

• He selected a VP who is truly dumber than a bag of hammers that can be counted on for at least one major daily gaffe
• He turned his political agenda over to two individuals who are both dumber than a bag of rocks, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid. Surely two of the most corrupt and incompetent political hacks to ever serve in Congress
• His undeterred insistence to shove hated Socialist policy initiatives down our collective throats including Obamacare and the Nationalization of the auto, energy, and financial industries.
• Conducting the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of the civilized world benefiting unions and his many other Marxist/Socialist constituents
• Providing aid and comfort to the enemy by announcing the exact time and number of troops we’ll be sending home from Afghanistan. The worry and stress brought on by this boneheaded action is certainly well deserved
• Even though he plays twice a week the President’s inability to break 90 is infuriating. Would seem he sucks at golf as well as leadership and governing

With stress levels this high the President has a lot more to worry about than just his hair turning white. As we can see in the before and after shots below things could get real ugly before all is said and done.
