One time-lapse video, according to Gawker, shows the president “Age 10 Years in 5 Years in 2 Minutes.” The Washington Post, meanwhile, shows photos of Obama “Then & Now,” with former White House physician Connie Mariano describing presidents as looking like they “fast-forwarded eight years in the span of four years,” presumably because of the stress of the job. Can chronic stress really cause early wrinkles and gray hair?
