Barack sure seems to be graying fast


Obama in his meeting on Monday with Jewish leaders. Talk about stress. And think, right after that meeting he had to meet with a delegation of Arab-Americans!

Not!

Lady at left is Debra DeLee, the head of Americans for Peace Now. I believe the guy on her left is Ira Forman of the National Jewish Democratic Council. I'm seeking identity of the fella at BHO's right.Oh– Rob Browne says it's Alan Solow, the new chairman of the Conference of Presidents. The "propaganda" organization, per Steven Rosenthal's book Irreconcilable Differences; Solow was a rainmaker for Obama's campaign and then lo and behold was named to the Conference chair upon Obama's victory, after the leader of the org, Malcolm Hoenlein, had sort of screwed things up with the incoming prez.

    Wow, good call. That is scary to see what the stress of being president does to a vibrant young man. I remember Clinton aging and getting fat pretty fast, but Obama's hair is really shocking. It was jet black a year ago.

    Just a matter of forgetting to dye it, my guess ;)

    My theory is that the US presidents actually grey their hair to make them seem more . . . well, Presidential.

    Debra D. looks like she's having unwholesome thoughts.

    RE: "…the Conference of Presidents. The "propaganda" organization…" NEWS FROM THE HOLY LAND: "10 police officers hurt as Jerusalem riots continue into the night", by Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent, 07/17/09 (EXCERPT) Riots in Jerusalem over the recent arrest of an ultra-Orthodox woman suspected of starving her 3-year-old son escalated as demonstrators concluded their third consecutive day of violent protests with no indication that they were planning to ease up. So far ten police officers have been lightly hurt by stone throwers. Three of them were taken to the emergency room at Hadassah hospital after sustaining head injuries. All in all, hundreds of police officers participated in the dispersal efforts, including officers called up from other districts. 20 demonstrators were detained for questioning. Hundreds of people also arrived at a rally, in support of the mother, held at Jerusalem's Shabbat Square.

    all that coddling up to Iran can turn you gray

    My wife's take on it also. She noticed during the campaign he was greying over the course of 4 months and figured it was his hair dresser giving him a touch of gravitas.

    Jews are blamed for everything from HAMAS terrorism to the president's hair color!

  9. mot2 says:

    Well, yes we do tend to take credit for everything.

    They certainly handle rock-throwing Israelis differently than their Palestinian counterparts. There's a bunch of Haaretz articles over the last year or so pertaining to growing Israeli child abuse in the Holy Land.

    He does look like he's aging much quicker than before he became president. It happens to all of them. A VERY big plate, being president.

  12. Mythbuster says:

    And we who are pro-Palestinian must acknowledge this sad fact: The world only cares about the Palestinians because the Jews are involved. Hat tip to the late poet Darwish.

    Least he's got better hair than Ira Foreman.

    Obviously Obama is under a lot of pressure to become Shabbes Goy/House Negro to the organized Jewish community (if he is not already there):
