Oh, the old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be.

Actually, this particular gray mare was never anything.

Obama has the skinniest-ass hands I’ve ever seen on a guy. No wonder he can’t even get a bowling ball to strike the pins with any real force. Sad.

Running at a young age and wants to look older and wiser. What would you do? Most likely some more phoney bologney.

Sorry, B. Hussein Obamination. You were turning grey a long time ago. You just forgot where you put your touchup dye.

What do you expect for a pair of hands that have never had to do a day's labor. Never had to be used to build, remodel, move, lift, throw, shovel, etc. This is the only man, and I use that word with all the latitude possible, that actually makes John F'n Kerry look masculine.

Forget that last part, neither one of those poofers is anywhere near the word masculine.

Poor Senator Obama...like George Washington; he is going grey in service to his country. Before this campaign is over he will apologize for putting on glasses prior to speaking.

I suggest that you go to your room mister, and think about the fact that you put the 'Putz' and General Washington in the same sentence. LOL

That wishy washy horses butt is probably putting gray in his hair on purpose to let his choir think that he is older and therefore more experienced.

Maybe he’s quit dying his grey in order to look more older/more experienced.

Bill Clinton’s hair varied from mostly dark to mostly grey during the ‘91 campaign, depending on the venue. Obama must be planning a visit to Florida.

I can’t remember any other case where a guy turned gray RUNNING for President. Usually it’s the actual job that turns people gray.

If Obama can’t even handle the nomination process without aging beyond his years, we better not elect him to office, the poor guy will wrinkle up and die before our eyes.

"US election campaign is turning me grey"

Chances are he was coloring his hair, but realized he'd look older, (and more qualified) if he let the grey come out.

Aw, come one everyone, Robert E. Lee’s hair turned completely gray after the first year of the War Between the States. BHO is going through at least that much strife!

Obama has been too busy on the hunt for the Presidency to get tied down to hair treatments. As for the black eye, a simple hand up to the eye whenever the cameras start clicking.

Another retread idea from the Clintoon’s first campaign. Remember how Billy Jeff put grey in his hair to fake gravitas? This kid has no imagination.

I would guess the opposite: He is now highlighting (coloring) his hair with some gray so that he does not look like a 12 year old.

If you were a life long hate monger trying to win the presidency through manipulation, you'd probably be gray too.

Well, he is going to be 47 in 4 weeks. I’d say he has some gray hairs of his own, so I’ll bet he’s been using something to cover it previously. I think it would be hard to try to highlight it gray, and have it look natural because it’s so short.
