What happened to Obama?

[Deleted]

I remember when Obama became president, he was quite cheery and smiling and had a generally energetic face overall.

Now whenever I see him anywhere, he just looks aged, tired, bored, sad or sick. Here, let me give you some example of what I mean:




Even when smiling it can be seen, check it here:



Comparing it to this:



I don't know, in the last half of year he just looks like he's tired and fed up or sick. I know people age, and even more so when they are on high pressure, but he just looks like he's fading away somewhat.



What do you think?

The guy is actually 55 now. If anything you should be suprised how young he looked when he came into office!

Probably one of the most stressful jobs in the world, a lot of shit and almost a decade in office. Takes tolls on anyone.

8 years of presidency does that to you.

At least he isn't secluded on his ranch painting portraits.

Equate it to the first day of teaching kindergarten vs 8 years later teaching kindergarten.

8 years of being POTUS will do that to u, which brings me to my next point , there should be a maximum age requirment on candidates, i cant believe people even considered Bernie who is like 75 to be a good candidate, hes fucking old and hes gonna get older he cant be president and Hillary and Trump arent good choices either theyre both 70 and Hillary's health is in tatters, shes hiding a ton of health issues, she has cough fits, she has bladder issues, she has seizures from cerebral trauma

[Orlong]

8 years of apologizing and kneeling will do this to a person

Dating in your early 20's compared to dating in your late 20's.

Nothing happened. You can find images and footage of him smiling and laughing like a madman from this year, probably from this month, just as much as you have ever been able to. Go to Google images and search for Obama 2016 smiling or something.

OP just picked the images that would support his "message".

Happens to all presidents. They don't get easy problems to deal with (the easy problems are taken care of by their staff)...they get to deal with all the hard problems.

Like Adolph Hitler, its unfortunate Bush Jr wasn't a successful artist instead of becoming president of the America.

Well its hard to paint when you're holding a golf club, but those private Martha's Vineyard courses he visits once a week are pretty secluded.

But I think hes aged so quickly and so recently because hes realizing that he has left the World in worse condition than he found it.

Even though you could argue, based on his books, that his goal all along was the crippling of the modern Western world in order to be "fair" to everybody else I imagine actually seeing the toll that takes on peoples lives would eventually get to anybody who wasn't a complete psychopath.

He might be feeling a little guilty and therefore stressed out because at this point the legacy shopping part of his Presidency is over.

He's done what he's done and history will judge him.

He's could also feeling anxious over leaving the Democrat Party in the hands of a women who represents the direct anesthetist of all Democrat values.

Well:

1. Nitpicked photos.
2. Obama is now 55, compared to 47 when he was running (exactly the ages at which the skin tends to start getting worse rapidly).
3. Presidential job is pretty exhausting.

Compare Merkel at 47 to her at 55, and you will see similar difference, if you also nitpick photos.

Its pretty clear that he has some kind of neurological disorder and its unable to remain as POTUS. #MAGA

The novelty of being the first black President probably wore off.

[Justpassing]

Well he has the most stressful job in the world, so.

Kinda he wasn't a awful president but he won't be remembered as one of the better ones.. I think the kindest way to sum up his legacy is... "meh"

[Rooflesstoofless]

That is a, "I sold my soul.......for this?" face if I've ever seen one.

A single still from here and there says absolutely nothing.

Here's a younger Obama, according to my search from 2008, looking like he just ate a plate of poop:

You see these age comparisons with every president, this is nothing new. Yes, they cherry pick the photos to make their point and it's true that you start to age really fast at 50.

He was 47 when he became president, he's 55 now.

[Ealyssa]

That's what US predidency do to you



Or it's like people are aging in a decade
