POTUS—A Taxing Job (Snark)

Thu Mar 06, 2008 at 11:50:40 PM PDT

Some people claim that holding the office of the President of the United States of America ages a person at the rate of 3-to-1.

Norris, an ardent supporter of Mike Huckabee, told reporters he believes serving as president accelerates the aging process 3-to-1.

Even with all of the bike riding, brush clearing, and extensive vacations the toll on bush has been obvious. Here is a photo of him in 2000:

For a recent photo, and I know, who wants to take another look at his criminal mug, but bear with me, hop in a barrel and follow me over the fa-a-a-a-alls...

Here’s a shot of what bush looks like now:

It is obvious what a toll 8 years in the oval office has taken on him. The smile is gone, his brow is furrowed, and his hair has been depleted and gone all gray.

Given all of the stresses of being President, the only previous three term president, FDR, did not live out his third term. The third term has got to be even more taxing than the first two terms. If bush somehow survives the next four years, can we expect our President to look like this?
