Aging of country and world leaders

Post by Super Nova » Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:19 pm

Inspired by Mantra's comment on who would want to be US president.

Is it just me or do all world leaders really age fast when they are in the job. You can see them age years in months. Particularly when they are under prolonged pressure.

Well, most don't get to that level until at least 50 by which time the wrinkles are already there. Even with Botox it is a bit late by then to stop the wrinkles ... or should we call them character lines?

EVERYBODY gets old, just that some people are born some years earlier than others. You, too, will get OLD and wrinkled and eventually DIE. Sorry, but that is the TRUTH. :rofl

And I hate that bit about life. Death and taxes and all that.

You have a point, maybe the aging process is more noticable after you are 50. 4 years is very noticable after 50 when it is not so noticable when you are in your twenties.

Hillary looks like she got run over by a truck full of old since the 2008 primaries, and she is not the president.

I like Hillary... smart lady. She was looking really bad until the recent cut and tuck. She must have had some work done. She has a tough job and I think she is doing reasonable job..... from a non-US view point.
