Us Weekly was also all over this giant Drudge "scoop" way back in November... and Zariff even gave an explanation for why Obama's hair sometimes seems grayer than others.
"The barber says Obama's hair color really 'depends on the light, and then HD really brings it up a few more too.
"'When we see it, it looks very silvery and shiny,' Zariff says. 'But of course when you see him in person, it doesn't look like that.'
"Obama, 47, hasn't gone grayer over the course of the stressful two-year campaign, according to Zariff, or at least 'not as dramatically as it looks [on TV].
"'It's about normal for his age group,' Zariff says. 'But I can't say that when he gets in the White House. We'll see.'"
They're using his grey as a way to build trust. We prefer airline pilots with grey around the temples, and deep down in our most secret squishy places, we want a president with some grey too, so that he will pilot us like Sully, through the geese-choked skies, to a graceful splashdown on the Hudson.

It's really fun to imagine that the Ted behind TedSez is really Ted Koppel. Plus he would share your acute interest in grey hair!
