Here Is Obama's (Grayer) New Portrait

The White House today released President Obama's new official portrait ahead of his inauguration, reports the Huffington Post. Contrast it with his 2009 portrait (it's in the gallery) and you will see that, gasp, that the 51-year-old has noticeably grayer hair. Two schools of thought here:

• The presidency takes a toll because of the "unabated, unfathomable stress" of the job, says the Washington Post, which offers a look at before-and-after photos of presidents throughout history.
• OK, fine, it's a stressful job, writes Alex Balk at the Awl. "But take a look at a picture of yourself from four or more years ago," he writes. "You're not exactly going gracefully, are you?"
