Unfortunately there has only been one bald president since the advent of TV and that was Dwight David Eisenhower. I guess it takes winning a world war to be seen as a worthy candidate if you're bald. Israel's first prime minister David Ben Gurion was bald as was the famed defense minister and architect of the lightning victory in the 6 day war, Moshe Dayan. Israel also had PM Menachim Begin who was bald, PM Itzhak Rabin as well. Anwar Sadat of Egypt was bald. A number of Soviet Premiers were also bald - Krushchev, Gorbachev and of course the leader of the Russian Revolution Vladimir Lenin. It seems that there's a lot more of an aversion to bald leaders in the US and W. Europe than in the rest of the world.

I sure missed the meaning in the title on this one.
I thought you meant BALD   as in completely BALD.
Not just bald, as in naturally bald.
 


Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Unfortunately then, that leaves none of the people I mentioned. Lenin comes the closest with his close cropped hair and goatee, but in truth not a single shaved head among them. Maybe one day General Odierno will run for office.

Um, wait a minute:  we have never had a single U.S. President named Jones, let alone two of 'em...

He meant John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
