Old power politics?

If you so look at the photos of some of our politicians, you might start to wonder: How time-lapse is always playing the same from; initially youthful faces expire rapidly that any beautician despair and every cosmetic surgeon would roll up their sleeves.

Is it the stress that a lot of traveling, a lot of sitting, eating and drinking too many, too many speeches, too little sleep, the burden of responsibility?

Puzzle over puzzle. Some examples of the work of destruction:

Peer Steinbrück about 25 years ago (source: Landtag NRW)

Peer Steinbrück before about 25 years in NRW state parliament. Apart from the fact that at that time even more hair sprouted: You see a mouth, showing its mouth upwards, approaches an upper lip are present, the lower lip is normal to full, overall an optimistic expression.

Picture below: Steinbrück today. The lips are gone, the standard oral form with him: an inverted "U", the angle of the mouth show steeply downward. Visually, the optimists to-peer problem.

Angela Merkel about 20-25 years ago (Source: not to elicit)

Angela Merkel before 20-25 years: An unused, optimistic young girl face, a few laugh lines. An almost blank slate.

Merkel Update: The lips and the eyes have suffered deep mouth wrinkles show steeply downward.

Angela Merkel date, source: not to elicit

Angela Merkel currently: Your face shows a similar phenomenon as that of Peer Steinbrück. The mouth is lipless increasingly steep, "u" shaped stomach fold, also approaches to hamster cheeks.

Westerwelle: "God made me gay" (Source: YouTube Still)

Westerwelle unencumbered and unspent at the beginning of his career as a young liberal. The corners of the mouth are optimistic upward.

Westerwelle today: a picture of misery; his eye usually strangely inward. Gastric folds around the mouth once mischievous; the skin hangs limp.

Ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schröder about 30 years ago: He could pass as a model for country-fashions at that time without further notice. His mouth pointing upwards, the jaws have two dimples; Despite approach to gastric fold an overall very optimistic face.

Gerhard Schröder today: Though his eyes suffered a lot (sagging upper eyelids, puffiness), the stomach fold has not increased even in advanced age, but is determined by the expression wrinkles, all subordinate to the laughing-optimistic expression.
