Obama: Just For Men?

Posted Jul 8th 2008 12:20PM by TMZ Staff

So the Internet's buzzing with a report that Barack Obama, 46, has been graying -- and quick -- since he became a Senator.

But check out this snap from a TV interview in 2002, when he was still a State Senator in Illinois. Looks like he could've used the Grecian formula even then.

His barber tells Politico he's never dyed the candidate's hair -- and won't have to for a while. Not exactly a black and white issue, it seems.

4. I've met Obama, he doesn't have any gray. What you see is the light reflecting off of his hair.

6. The proof is in the picture.
He was whiter then.....
He is a liar all round.
If he can't be honest about his hair color, I doubt he will be honest about anything else.
VOTERS> BEWARE>>>>>it all started with the HAIR.

7. For the love of god....

His hair is SHORTER in the more recent pic.

I get the same thing with my hair... if I let it grow out for more than a couple of weeks, I look 10 times grayer than I normally do. Been that way for 10 years now.

This might be the dumbest TMZ post ever.

8. Umm, there is quite a bit of time between 2002 and 2008. He is at the age where people can start getting a lot of grey in 6 years time. Still don't like the guy, though.

9. WHY would he have ANY Gray hair - it is NOT as if he's done any WORK in the Senate for the citizens of Illinois.

I LIVE in Illinois - so I KNOW he hasn't done (#*&T

10. If he becomes president he will have a lot more gray hair to deal with!

11. Obama doesn't care how much he has to fake it or lie or change positions... it is the end game he and his angry wife are after, the destruction of the United States of America.

13. Who cares if he's gray or not? I dont' get it?!?!

14. I agree with Bill Bo Baggans. TMZ is ignorant. We will have to endure with much more negative comments about Obama when he becomes President.

Please folks get over the fact that he is an African American. Look at what we have in the whitehouse now. Bush is no better.

Peace Out!!

15. I think he is damn hard to look at. And also looks like an alien with the way his head is shaped and those spindley arms and legs.
