Obama looks physically bad.
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that he looks bad physically? He looks to me to have lost weight and his demeanor is subdued somewhat during press conferences.
For example, in the one he gave on Steven Sotloff, he barely looked at the camera.
I understand that he's under an enormous amount of pressure and I understand that stress does horrible things to people, even presidents. But good heavens, the change IMHO has been stark and swift. And it's not the color of his suits.
Anyone else noticing this?

And to make matters worse, he's literally stupid.
But the primitives are consistent in their ability to overlook responsibility in Democrats where they would be blaming Republicans. So on with the excuses and rationalizing we go.

1. He looks completely worn out.
I'm amazed that he has held on for as long as he has.
Fred Sanders
2. No. He look as well as a man can in the face of relentless corporate media lies and distortions.
Not to mention the war mongers in his own party beating the drums and failing to push the agenda of the always right tan man.
Minimum wage, election reform, womans rights, etc. Get behind or get out.
Did I mention minimum wage and Medicaid expansion as well? Push these issues, push the barking dogs of war and lazy dogs of democracy aside.

9. I don't envy this incredible man and what he has to face day-to-day. He never really got the support of his own Party ever since his first inauguration on January 20, 2009.
He's been hounded by American media still disguising as our Fourth Estate.
He's been attacked by billions of dollars worth of lies in ads by the Koch Bros.
He can't make a single step without having every single GOOPER use the above-mentioned media, unchallenged, to take his words out of context while members of his own Party refuse to correct the record, leaving it up to him.
And yet, through all of this, he's still fighting to make a change for the better for us.
How he stays sane through it all is a mystery to me.

3. Yes. I feel bad for the guy.
There's one shitstorm after another... through no fault of his own, really.
Never his fault.
lpbk2713
4. And there are still those who piss and moan about his vacation time.
Yes I agree. I have been noticing the wear and tear on BO for some time now.
I some times wonder if he's had a decent night's sleep since he's been in office.
JNelson6563
5. Yes. Whenever I see him lately I am struck by how worn out he looks.
James Foley and Steven Sotloff could not be reached for comment.
tridim
6. I look bad after one stressful day at work.
Obama has 100 times the stress, every day, 24/7, and the media and half of the Government trashing him constantly.
He looks (and acts) amazing considering all this.
Frustratedlady
7. He has been on a run since way before his GOLF vacation, which was interrupted many times.
How anyone could take the abuse and criticism he has had to endure, with little or no help from this friends in the Democratic party, I might add, has taken its toll. I think he enjoys the trips out into the public, as they adore him and it gives him a lift. Has to. But, when he is being hit with so many crisis situations from all parts of the world, with no cooperation from the bums in Congress, how should he look.
I wonder how far this country would have progressed if it weren't for the Republican takeover of the House. We could have been so far into repair of our infrastructure and environmental improvements, it blows my mind.
In my opinion, the Republicans in Congress should be charged with treason for holding our country back...in fact, for regressing this country back to the days of the Depression. It will take forever for the sane to recover from the actions of the stupid.
Republicans fault.

8. He's doing his best to tread his way through a big neocon mess with little help from the MSM, the Repubs, his own party, and neocon stooges like Cameron, Abbott, Hollande etc.
Got that? Hollande is a neo-con stooge.
:mental:
yallerdawg
17. The worst job on the planet.
First he has to save the world from apocalyptic economic disaster, 3 AM wakeup calls pirates are attacking, and then deal with a racist political party that says no on every attempt to make this a better world for all.
underpants
18. Adding to already posted - he has had an endless series of no-win situations
Let's go back to the economic ship being righted (ARRA & GM) suddenly one guy in Tunisia lights himself on fire and the whole southern rim if the Mediterranean changes.
The list has been unending since then. No real right choice to make in any of the foreign affairs especially.
CK_John
20. Also Joe probably calls twice a day to see how he is feeling?
That would do it for me.
katmondoo
23. I have noticed that his hair is greyer and his face looks thinner and more stressed. I posted this on Facebook. The right wingers are still saying he never works only plays Golf and is always on vacation. Gets me furious when I read such utter nonsense.
Furious? Oh, please. You wake you angry at the world, and then you really start getting mad.
Marrah_G
25. I imagine no one would look good after those videos
Of course it's not Obama's fault that those lunatics beheaded two men, but having them calling him out on the videos has to effect him emotionally.
Where ISIS is concerned there are no good answers. I would not want to be in his place right now.
It's really Bushs' fault.

31. "stress does horrible things to people, even presidents."
Don't differentiate the President from a person. That is all he is. A smart person. A power hungry person. A good person at heart. But a person none the less. Look at all past Presidents. The stress that comes with the job takes its toll on every President. Compare his "looks" to that of someone who has been homeless for the past six years. That might give a little perspective. Presidents ask for the job full well knowing the stress involved.
"Compare his "looks" to that of someone who has been homeless for the past six years."
IOW compare him to the people who have been effected by his policies. Gotcha!
Trillo
33. I suspect the public revelation of the murderous police state via the poster-city Ferguson -- and all the others -- has been awfully difficult for him.
Yeah, he's all broken up about a bunch of homies in St Louis. :bawl:
:thatsright:
B Calm
36. I suspect it's because of his poll numbers are so low. After all the good he's done with all the no good republicans lying about him on every given subject, but the people are buying into all the right-wing lies. Hell man I would be banging my head against the wall and I would look bad too!
That's right. They should be reading DU. That way the people would know all those events they see and are experiencing on a daily basis are just an illusion and things are really alright.
....... freakin' nutso..........

39. He's exhausted. Hope he isn't smoking again. He has so much on his plate.
I hope he's smoking like a chimney when it's 50 below.

Hey DU!.
Get your custom made Barack Obama kneepads right here. One size fits all. No return policy.
-
There are a lot of chickens coming home to roost on his shoulders, and it's very hard work dodging responsibilities, placing blame, fund raising and still trying to find time to golf..

Hey DU!.

Somewhere, there's a Barack Obama dildo . . . :whistling:
-
He is so exhausted he can barely finish another round of golf before the next fundraiser and vacation. :censored:
-
He's been hounded by American media still disguising as our Fourth Estate.
I have never before heard "carrying someone's water" called "hounded" before.

Funny, I don't remember all of this concern for the previous president after being savaged 24/7 for 6 years... :whatever:

We don't deserve a man like Barack Obama.

"He has so much on his plate." .....yeah, $100 a pound wagyu steak and lobster every night can't be good for you.
If being president is that bad for your looks, just imagine what Hillary will look like after 8 years. :panic: :panic:

3. Yes. I feel bad for the guy.
There's one shitstorm after another... through no fault of his own, really.
Huh? No fault of his own?
Fast & Furious, Stimulus bankruptcies like Solyndra, sequestration, IRS cover up, Keystone pipeline, Spying on journalists, Obamacare, welfare increases, Veterans Admin., Iraq pull out, bombing Libya, Benghazi, backing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Syrian red lines, open borders, ISIS.....and much more.
I hate to see what else happens in the next two years and five months.
-
As Superchicken used to say to Fred, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it."
They are right about one thing though...he is 'doing the best he can.' I just have a much lower estimate of what that means, and his intellectual and leadership capabilities, than they do.

But all of the above is Bush's fault.
The funny thing is that Putin, who seems to outsmart the world's smartest holder of presidential office at every turn, pretty much looks like I always remember him looking.

All that sun during the golfing and beach trips is not good for you. Plus it's probably pretty hard to avoid work like he has.

You stupid effing cretins,he is 50 feet underwater on a job he has NEVER had a desire to do.

53. They were shitty to President Clinton too, minus the racism.
That's the only difference I see. They throw in the racism openly with President Obama. I don't know why. He went well over halfway across that aisle to try to work with them. So, I don't know what their ****ing problem is. He gave them way more respect than they ever deserved and this is how they repay him. That could be why he looks beat. His plan to work with them and try to get anything done through compromises was met with the reality of just how horrid and worthless and unyielding they really are. Maybe he is just tired of the bullshit. I'd hate to be President of this country, honestly. I can't imagine anyone can pretend to be A-ok with it for very long. If I was pres, it would would take everything I had not to abuse my power and not just declare open civil war on the ****ing Teabaggers and Repubs, honestly. It would take everything I had to not just use the entire force of the US military and government to go after them tooth and nail. They are un****ingworthy to call themselves Americans or even humans. I'm guess Obama is slowly finally learning that and the stress of resisting that temptation is getting to him...any good person would cave under that kind of stress after a while of dealing with them.
The inner-Hitler coming out.
Warpy
52. He looks exhausted
Any president who tries to do the job instead of just being a front man giving speeches will look haggard after the first four or five years.
I imagine Obama will sleep for the first six weeks after his term is over.
I doubt he looked at the camera because he knows there isn't a hell of a lot we can or should do in the middle east now. They will have to settle their own hash while we learn to live with much less oil.
"...tries to do the job instead of just being a front man..."
(snicker)
He's not bright enough to sweep the floors for the road crew, much less be the front man.
And when it comes to foreign policy, he's been asleep at the wheel for 6 years, Hindenberg face primitive. If he didn't look at the camera, it's because he doesn't care what happens in the ME or Ukraine or anywhere else. That's a bother he doesn't want or need right now. It interferes with his using a wrecking ball on the USA.
Dear Leader is a worthless idiot.

even he knows he is ill equipped for the job and such a miserable failure that he can't look the American people in the eye.
So sad, I have been ranting about Obamas health issues for the last couple of years.
Not only does he, for a man his age look like he is 20 years older then he is but his non interest in the Country he was not raised in ----starting sign of Old Timers Disease ?
Naturally he cannot look the American people in the face, he has no idea who or what we American people are or will stand up for. He thinks the Black Americans will cover his back, WRONG, nor will the influx of Latino's that are Catholic and not cotton to his Muslim way.
The wealthy and powerful Blacks will back him but the every day American Blacks will come around and realize he is no better then the Kenyan leaders that sold their great grand parents in slavery all over the world.
This Dude is toast, stick a fork in him, he is done as far as any kind of American History. What the heck will hold his post presidential library to make his daughters wife and family proud of him ?

My favorite idiocies of the jug-eared Kenyan are "shovel-ready jobs" and "cash for clunkers".

Axelrod now says that libs might have been too hard on Bush for taking "vacations". In Bush's case his home in Crawford was the western White House. In owebuma's case he just shirks all responsibility while he is on "vacation".

This one amused me . . .
If I was pres, it would would take everything I had not to abuse my power and not just declare open civil war on the ****ing Teabaggers and Repubs, honestly. It would take everything I had to not just use the entire force of the US military and government to go after them tooth and nail. They are un****ingworthy to call themselves Americans or even humans.
About, what--70% of the military is conservative/Republican? The Oath Keepers in virtually every law enforcement organization in the US would also help to keep that from happening. And, just who has most of the legally-owned weapons in this country?
Hint--it isn't the Left.
-
Of course he looks bad. He has realized that he is an ineffectual leader who is in over his head with matters beyond his ability to understand and correct. He made the mistake of believing his own press and now his chickens have come home to roost. It has dawned on him that being a community agitator in no way qualified him to deal with anything more complex that listening to community activists complain so he could make promises he wouldn't have to deliver on. Unfortunately that doesn't work when your President. People expect you to say what you mean and mean what you say. When you promise something you keep it or have a damn good reason not to.

Well, I'm not ready to give up, even though it sounds like DUmmy Jamastiene is leaning democrat.
We still have two years to convince her to vote Republican in the 2016 presidential election.

Obama has used the government to go after conservatives, but he knows the military is a no-no, or at least Valerie Jarrett does.

Oh poor, poor president boyfriend. He can't do the job and it shows, and it's just as simple as that. Or on a more sinister note, he can't enact his sinister plot.
I wonder if Jamastien has thought that one all the way through. If she were president.
If being president is that bad for your looks, just imagine what Hillary will look like after 8 years.

:badass:
And the dems were oh so nice to Bush when he was president.... and Bush had a hostile media to deal with to boot!! Now as to what you just said dummie... I personally hope obumbles tries it. That would put the nail in the dems coffin for the next 30 years.
To be honest here, obumbles is looking like pretty much every other president in their sixth year. Clinton and Bush were looking pretty old and tired in their 6th year. Being president has to be a man/woman killing job. For obumbles, it has to be ten times as hard since the fool hasn't really ever worked a day in his life at a real job... and that is taking into account that he doesn't work very hard at being president and a media that does everything but get on their knees and blow him. If the media was half as hostile to obumbles as they were to Bush, I really believe obumbles would go off the deep end and get tossed out of office for going insane.

DUmbasses - Lets ignore all of the domestic screwups for the moment, and just look at the international ones.
The primary reason the middle east is on fire right now is because Obama wanted regime change in Syria, Libya, and Egypt. Thankfully, the Egyptians saw where 'Arab Spring' was headed and ended it - not so for Syria and Libya. Were all of the leaders on Obama's hit list murderous thugs ? - Absolutely - HOWEVER , their 11th century way of thinking kept the inmates in their asylums in line. Now lets add in Obama's absolute refusal to change his plans to exit Iraq - even though Arab Spring Islamist Summer was in full bloom and the likelihood of trouble from the power vacuum he created by working to topple a few middle east leaders he disliked combined with a newly disarmed Iraq had resulted in consequences so obvious that anyone with at least a partially functional brain could predict the outcome.
The actions taken in Egypt, Syria, and Libya had NOTHING TO DO WITH BUSH. The decision to follow through on ending US operations in Iraq also rests on Obama's shoulders. He could have easily delayed exiting Iraq because of the mess blowing up in other neighboring countries, but the hubris Obama carries prevented him for making a decision that would indicate that he may have been wrong in his original assessment of the Middle East.
The Obama's never admit mistakes. Ever.
Now we have ISIS (I know Obama hates that ending 'S' because it stands of Syria - the last thing Obama wants people to do is remember that ISIS started off as some of the 'Syrian Rebels' Obama was backing and possibly arming ) beheading everyone in their way - men, women and children.
Now we have lost track of eleven or so commercial airliners in Libya.
And while Obama seems to have a proverbial thumb stuck up his own ass, Putin is enjoying free reign as Obama battles the very demons he created by backing 'The Muslim Brotherhood'.
Normally I'd stick the OWNIT graphic here - however, I'm afraid that this mess is something we are all going to get to own, like it or not.

We don't deserve a man like Barack Obama.
I think we've found common ground with the DUmmies.

Hey Zero, here's a free hint: if the golf course is too tough for you, ride a cart. I'm sure the taxpayers (us, that is, the "1%" -- AKA, those that pay taxes) would surely buy you an air conditioned, bulletproof Mercedes golf cart that your driver would love to take you around in so your weak-assed, POS self could indulge in the beverage and food service offered therein.
