Obama Causes Three Years of Aging in One Year?

Browsing the popular satirical website The Onion, I came across this article:

Now, just in case you're too lazy to click on that, here's a quick rehash: so "photographic comparisons" have shown that the American population have significantly experienced major stress under Obama's term, experiencing accelerated aging. The article cites one of the reasons for this: "Think about it: You're a United States citizen who has to live with the decision to elect Barack Obama every single day, a decision that constantly affects the entire planet. You'd only sleep four or five hours a night, too."

Of course, this is a bit crazy, but with further contemplation: that is kind of true, isn't it? While many citizens won't be voting in this year's election, they're missing out on a crucial opportunity to shape not only their futures but the world's future as well. America is always experiencing stress because the president is doing a bad job with the economy, foreign policy, the environment, etc.

Conversely, this article also emphasizes the impact the president has on his constituents, in kind of a backwards way. Because despite the lightheartedness of the article, it's somewhat true - the president can affect the health and even the health of his constituents. So be wise who you choose for our leader for the next four years! As the article cheekily concludes, "Medical experts agree the overwhelming stress of a Mitt Romney presidency would kill the entire populace within seconds of his inauguration."
