Yes, we can...dye our hair?

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama sported two different shades of hair as he hosted Chinese president Hu Jintao in Washington. Making remarks with Hu and other leaders that morning, the Commander-in-Chief, 49, sported the cropped, greying 'do familiar to the country; the President's hair has quickly turned grey since he took the Oval Office two years ago.

Later that night, hosting Hu for a crucial White House state dinner, Obama debuted a noticeably darkened, grey-free head of hair. No word yet on whether the Nice and Easy shade is permanent.

Obama has seen his approval rating surge to 53 percent this week -- his highest in 18 months.

    If it is dyed, it's no one's business but his. Men have to right to cover their gray hair, too!

    WHO CARES?! He's human just like the rest of us. I don't care if he dyed it to get the gray out or dyed it bright pink. He's just like the rest of us, he wants to look perfect. NO I'm NOT a supporter of Obama, but good grief, give him a break!

    He was in town yesterday and his hair was a gray and thin as usual.

    It's his stunt double.

    It's his hair, and he can do what he wants with it.

    At least he's spending out tax dollars on JUST FOR MEN and not BJ's and dry cleaning bills!

    If this is the after pic, umm it seems like he did dye his hair. It's ok though. He still looks like a very distinguished gentleman.

    SERIOUSLY???? WHY DOES IT MATTER IF HE DID COLOR HIS HAIR OR NOT???

    He's one of the most attractive geeks I've ever seen. He's just so damn cute w/his oversized suits.

    I thought it looked like his hair was darker, too, the other night (actually before the State dinner). I don't care whether he dyes it or not, but I am surprised he wouldn't just do it from the get-go so it wouldn't be so obvious...I am not a fan of his, but this sort of thing opens him up to dumb criticism by his foes. Kind of like when he (gasp!) wore flip-flops when he was in Hawaii and people were trying to say he should have dressed more "Presidential". LOL. It's friggin' Hawaii what was he supposed to be wearing, a suit and tie in 80 degree weather? I hate over-kill when it comes to critiquing anyone. Pick something relevant. Dying his hair is not something worthwhile.

    Looks good , who cares what he does to look younger, better. Good that he takes care of himself.

    Big deal......when you see him sporting a Rihanna doo, lemme know, this is nothing.

    Everyone SHOULD know the lighting of photographs changes hair color, eyes, clothes, skin tone, make-up, etc. etc., and the photo on the left has brighter lighting, which not only makes his hair look lighter but also his skin tone...next thing you know they'll be saying he has Vitiligo or something!

  • January 21, 2011 - 10:29am Jenna English

    Probably, but SO WHAT???

  • January 21, 2011 - 10:05am Julie Lirette-Sweeney

    SO WHAT?

  • January 21, 2011 - 10:03am Diane Stadtherr

    He can dye his hair bright blue for all I care!
