The presidential dollars and presidential spouse artists must use a lot of artistic license when....

...........they create a portrait of a president or a presidential spouse. The artist must create a portrait that ignores the physical effect that years of stress can exact on a person.

Running for president and being a president can age a person almost overnight. It never ceases to amaze me how different our recent presidents have looked in before and after photos showing how they look before taking office and after they leave office. Not even close and the before picture always looks better than the after picture.

All recent presidents (Bush 1, Bill Clinton and W) looked vigorous before taking office and all looked haggard after leaving office. It is even worse for Hillary Clinton since she has been at it continuously since 1992. Hillary Clinton has been in the White House and the Senate since 1993 and is seeking the White House again. She has been on the national hot seat for almost 15 years now and wants another 8 years. Doing so must have taken a toll on her. I can only imagine how hard it would be on her if she was president for 8 years, particularly since she would be in the cross hairs of the extreme right and quite possibly the extreme left.

I don't think she will carry the stress on her face very well. And for that reason only, she should stop running for President.

I didn't know she had any capacity in the White House from 1993-2001 other than First Hag. The Dems should hire Obama. He's much younger and looks better in a suit.

Remember National Health Care and Revamping the education system?
I can only imagine Hillary's stress, having failed at every political endeavor she's attempted.

Imagine what Ron Paul or Fred Thompson would look like after a term in the White House.

Some of that artistic license will go away with Lincoln and afterward since we have pictures of those guys.....

Don't have to worry about Hillary winning the Presidency.....
