Because, as you pointed out, this is a piece that is supposed to show us how hard Obama is working and how the stress is already taking a toll on him, etc. They did the same thing with Clinton. I'll tell you this much, they didn't show any such concern for Reagan or either of the Bushes, I'm pretty sure. Anytime they took off for a little break, they were bashed over it. Yet Obama or Clinton, why, they're overworked and they've simply got to take a much-needed break!

As in, after they'd been president for <i>eight years,</i> and were, according to my precise calculations, eight years older. But the professional media want you to focus on Mr Obama's grey hairs. It shows you how <i>hard</i> he's working, for us, you know, and that way they don't have to focus on his policies.
