It doesn't show physically but it shows in his speech. jimmy carter went snow white after just 3 years, Clinton and Reagan lost it after 6.
The job is physically and mentally demanding. We should limit the Presidency to one 6 year term.

Laura put "A Picture of Dorian Grey" on George's reading list a few years ago, and hired a portrait artist from Haiti.
Seriously, Bush compartmentalizes his life much better than his fellow war presidents. Some quotes that prove it:
Trivializing the sacrifice and injuries of our soldiers:
"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself -- not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch. As a matter of fact, the Colonel asked if I needed first aid when she first saw me. I was able to avoid any major surgical operations here, but thanks for your compassion, Colonel." --George W. Bush, after visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 2006
Trivializing the importance of war in Iraq itself
"I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is -- my point is, there's a strong will for democracy." --George W. Bush, interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Sept. 24, 2006
More compartmentalization, but implicit acknowledgment of total failure:
"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound largemouth bass in my lake." --George W. Bush, on his best moment in office, interview with the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, May 7, 2006

Because he truly believes in what he's doing. Because he likes to be around people. Because he is an optimist by nature.
