Our pathetic MSM's latest "controversy": Did he dye his hair?
This is the pair of photos presented as "evidence". I guess he dyed his skin, too?

1. It's the lighting dumb-dumbs--check out the top of his head in the second pic.
It's as gray as can be.

They played these games with Senator Kerry as well, but his hair really is completely silver. In some lights it looks darker.

(I think his hair is slightly longer in the newer photo - which means less of his scalp shows.)

17. And were his eyes that BLACK before? I don't think so!
He must be wearing special contact lens now, too.

8. stress
In my time all Presidents go grey the first couple of years. I do think there is some coloring between the 2 photos, but at the same time, it really relies on WB. esposure, lighting, etc.

15. There are only three logical explanations
1) the lighting is different between the Morning and Evening shots

2) it's just a color correction problem--black people are VERY hard to make the same hue from photo to photo

or

3) he's been playing in John Boehner's makeup case again. In case no one noticed, the picture on the right shows him in a fetching shade of Boner Orange.
