Santa, Obama, myself and other greybeards' place in society

The obvious truth today is that America now has a grey President who may well be a white leader even before the next election such is the speed with which his crowning glory is changing colour.

I totally empathise with Mr Obama because of the ordeal through which I have been personally passing since about the middle of November.

It manifested itself earlier than ever before this year because the Christmas marketing operation everywhere began, even before Halloween was bonfired away.
