Before/After Pics of US Presidents.

George Bush Sr. seems to look better over time. Clinton's teeth yellowed but he didn't suffer much other than that.
 
George W. obviously suffered from sun damage from taking too many vacations. He should have applied more sunblock.

That has always been the worst way to distinguish the two because they are BOTH George Herbert Walker Bush.

And where have you seen this?

I have never seen George Walker Bush referred to as George Herbert Walker Bush... anywhere. Everywhere I see, he was born "George Walker Bush."
 
That was stupid and those photos don't show anything. A lot of the "Before" photos look like touched up portraits and the afters seem to be journalistic snapshots with bad lighting.

I have noticed a few things like a lot more gray hair and some over time have seemed to age a lot more than 8 years over their terms as president, but that article only shows how photos can be manipulated to try and prove a point.
 
lol what a stupid link. the lighting on the pics is totally different, and the befores are touched up like shit.

camera technology can advance quite a bit in 8 years too, maybe showing detail you really don't want to see D:

I think a lot of it is also the hair. You have to be stupid if you think Obama and Bush didn't dye their hair (removing a lot of the gray) before running for office. On the way out, they were like "fuck it".

Doesn't change that they both have a middle initial that is "W" for "Walker."

well, aging 8 years at mid-late life is going to age anyone.

this. apparently, there really is no link to stress and greying hair. The before/after photos of presidents has generally tried to argue for "a stressful job," but the reality is that you are president at the age when your hair is going to grey naturally.
 
Ford looks the same, Ronnie was always a corpse, and the after photo of Clinton looks like he he just received a hummer.

Surprised the Kennedy photo doesn't have his face blown off in the after... (too soon?)
 
Bill Clinton seemed to so okay. I guess all those blow jobs in the oval office had a positive effect.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Beginning presidency they're still coming off of "campaign" mode, so they have to look their best to convince everyone they can be the leader of the country. Near the end why bother?

Literally every single person on the planet knows that George W. = Jr.

I know, and I have always been critical of it since it first started developing. It developed out of ignorance. I learned when I was a little kid in 1990 that the president's full name was George Herbert Walker Bush, so as soon as people started using "W." to distinguish the junior, it stuck out as completely wrong since they are both "W." People accepting it, like you, allowed it to get to this point.

They aren't both George W., though. One of them is George W. and one is George H.W. I mean, yes, Walker is a part of both of their names, but if someone has multiple middle initials, you don't just single out one and say "OK, we're rolling with that one and the rest don't count." Middle initials are an all or nothing proposition. So W. versus H.W. works fine. And we know it works fine because everyone but you seems to understand it without issue.
