Obama doesn’t appear to have ‘chiseled pectorals’. The picture that I saw showed the early development of man-breasts. Sorry, just calling it as I see it....

Yuck. Chiseled pectorals, my hindend!
Nothing’s chiseled on that man.

You're not alone in your perception. I'd guess, based on the photos I've seen, that Obama has a condition that used to, and maybe still does, go under the name of gynecomasty. There is an amusing incident in Ben Bradlee's book about his conversations with JFK in which, after Bradlee took a photo of the bare-chested JFK, Bradlee was told to get rid of it, or, in the immortal words of John Ehrlichman,to 'deep six' the photo because it revealed that JFK had what you refer to as 'man breasts.' My memory on this point fails me at the moment, but I believe, in keeping with Bradlee's reportorial zeal, he may have included the 'forbidden' photo in the aforementioned book. Why Bradlee would do so, knowing JFK's wishes that it should be kept out of public view, I would have to attribute to a customary lack of gentlemanly sensibility and restraint in his genus (professional reporter). The condition isn't, of course, all-that-unusual, but it isn't a condition most men who are concerned to project a virile masculine image (e.g. JFK) are pleased to put on display. What is unusual is that in spite of the immense coverage given to the subject of Obama's chest development in the media, your post in this thread is, so far as I know, the first one to make this explicit comment.

Agreed!

Yeah, I commented about those man-breasts on another thread. They were worse in the original picture in Hawaii during the election. It looks like he’s not doing enough decline bench press exercises.
