A few more grey hairs: See how Obama has ages since 2009

HE’S joked about how his time in office has turned his hair grey, but a comparison of Barack Obama’s first State of Union address in 2010 shows the dramatic toll seven years as US President can take on one’s body.

Back in 2009, a fresh-faced Obama had just completed a gruelling two year campaign amid a crumbling economy. He was 47 at the time.

Now in his eighth and final year in office, a picture comparison reveals the President has indeed transformed into quite the silver fox. He is 53-years old today.

Take a look at how Obama has aged over the years.
