About that gray hair

The New York Times is very excited to report that Obama takes his new job so seriously, he’s going gray.  We’re assured that the appearing and reappearing flecks of gray simply reflect on his different barbers’ cutting styles — an impressive claim to make when the man basically has a buzz cut.  Not complicated.

The thing about this story is that it struck a chord.  I did a little Google digging and discovered that, already in August there were suspicions about the fact that Obama, who a few months before had been completely black haired, had suddenly gone gray — perhaps to impress voters with his gravitas, a necessary thing considering his complete lack of experience.

Bottom line:  Obama is a show piece.  Everything is for effect.  His hair will be the color necessary for him to get the job done.
