Barack Obama 2008/2016

Barack Obama turned 55. Running one of the largest, most prosperous and most powerful nations in the world as the President of the United States is a stressful task, and these photos will show what sort of effect that stress can have on a person's health.
The majority of the presidents pictured here spent about 8 years in the presidency, so one could argue that they would have aged one way or another. The stress of their work, however - even for those who spent only 4 or less years in office - definitely speeds up the natural aging process.
The four years of Abraham Lincoln's presidency, the most tumultuous in America's history as a nation, left an especially obvious mark on the beleaguered president, and this may have been exacerbated by certain potential medical conditions as well.
Being the president or prime minister of any country can be a stressful experience. If you have a before-and-after photo of your country's leader, please submit it below!

Was expecting the Trump/Palpatine picture at the end. But that would probably be unfair... to Palpatine.

Bush always has a look on his face that says "How in the fuck did I get this job?"

Professional photos vs candid photos skew things.

The difference in Lincoln is possibly down to the advancements in camera technology in that period too

I did not know Reagan could age since he was already ancient as fuck when he took office.

TBH, I think Lincoln and Kennedy's post presidential photos looked a little different.

I thought it was clever too, but it doesn't look like anyone agrees with you.

I think they might have the same problem as Kennedy & Lincoln. Don't have the sense of humor. Those two have at least an excuse. Being dead.

Is it just me or does JFK look younger? Kind of blew my mind

9 years ago | Likes 803 Dislikes 10

Not at all, I was thinking the same thing. He definitely looks younger in the 'after' picture.

I was hoping it would have ended with Kennedy before and after the assassination

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Maybe he had some secret thing going on and that's why he was assassinated?

I think it's because he's tan in the first picture, so his laugh lines are more prominent.
