This is the question raised by the adulatory prose of The Washington Post's Eli Saslow: Between workouts during his Hawaii vacation this week, he was photographed looking like the paradigm of a new kind of presidential fitness, one geared less toward preventing heart attacks than winning swimsuit competitions.
