New York Magazine has a bit of a retrospective on the Obama administration. The pictures in the article got some attention in the “look at how much Obama has aged” which is something of a perennial subject. There are theories that the presidency does age people faster, which makes sense because stress! On the other hand, the presidency seems like it might be primed to sort of notice the aging. We see the president on a regular basis, and track them somewhat closely, but don’t see them on a daily basis where aging can just kind of creep up on you. Given the life longevity of presidents, it doesn’t seem like the aging is anything more than superficial, though, if that.
