No Hair Dye For President Obama
EmailABC New's Sunlen Miller reports: Mrs. Obama put an internet rumor to rest this morning, confirming that her husband does not dye his hair.
“It's lighting,” she said in an interview with The Today Show, when she was showed two pictures of her husband just weeks apart, one showing her husband with much more gray.
The president has often remarked about his gray hair, which he says has gotten worse in the two years since he’s been president. But internet rumors were rampant when at times the amount of gray in the president’s hair seemed inconsistent, causing some to speculate he was trying to hide the gray with hair dye.
“No,” Mrs. Obama said plainly when asked if this was the case. “I think that if he had known he would be president, he would have started dying his hair, like, 10 years ago.”
Mrs. Obama said today that the president is not vain about his appearance, and joked that the women in his life sometimes wish he’d care a bit more.
“I wish that he would focus more on a different color suit a new shirt,” she said, “Sasha and I, Malia, we cheer when he puts on a bright-colored shirt.”
Mrs. Obama appeared on The Today Show, in addition to Live With Regis and Kelly coordinated with the one-year anniversary of her Let’sMove! campaign to combat childhood obesity.

Well, if Mrs Obama said it, it must be true. Politicians’ wives never say things to enhance the image of their husbands.

PS:
I just read an AP article about military spouses whose partners have died are back-billed by the federal goverment if they do not remarry by the age of 57.
Where is ABC on this travesty of a story?

Well, I guess that settles that-another internet rumor debunked.Now for the hard part-Michelle,where is the long form birth certificate? It will take more than a FLOTUS pronouncement to debunk any of those rumors.

If his hair wasn’t gray before it will soon be. Jim Webb is not running for re-election (as I predicted weeks ago) thereby assuring a Republican takeover of the Senate in 2012.Over 60% disapprove of Obama’s handling of the deficeit; his economic unfavorable ratings will make him unelectable.The only question is if the Virginia Senate seat goes Repub in 2012 or in the near future when Webb resigns to become SecDef.

Wow, the negativity and bitterness in some of these comments is amazing. Even those who opposed the Iraq War and protested against Bush never seemed so unbalanced in their comments. It is sad, really sad.
Being the president does seem to age men faster, as I guess any high stress job does. Bush aged a lot in his first four years, as did Clinton and every president that I can remember.

This despite the pictures of him with graying hair and then suddenly black hair again. “Don’t believe your lying eyes?” Eesh, this is the bowing nonsense all over again. Why is it this administration feels the need to lie about everything? For God’s sake, it’s his hair. No one would care if they didn’t try to lie about it.

To Walt Dukehart: Pplease stay on topic.
Hair; Yes. Not war. Not Bush. Not Clinton.
Michelle lying about Barry. Bingo.
The most transparent administration ever? Only an idiot would believe this.

So he used baby powder to lighten his hair for the Tucson speech? Technically that is not dying his hair.

someone asked why this administration has to lie about everything well my question is why is the color of president Obama’s hair being discussed by some of you on this blog. Your last president had grey hair and oh yeah he and his administration were liars.Oh and when will the Republicans produce jobs. they have control of the house now so it’s time out for the name calling and word games. PRODUCE.
