Fitness and Politics: Obama One of 25 Fittest Guys

Obama One of America's "25 Fittest Guys"? No, seriously...

Obama smoking

Men's Fitness Magazine has just announced that it's May 19 issue will declare Barrack Obama among the 25 most fit men in America. Yes, you read correctly. The Smoking Gutter Ball is more hail than any marathoner, Olympian, professional or college athlete save the other 24 men of extraordinary physical condition. Why?

“It takes a certain stamina to endure months of 16-hour days in pursuit of the land’s highest office. Obama is not the first politician dedicated to fitness, but the Illinois senator starts every day with a morning workout, whether it’s machines at the hotel gym or a brisk 45-minute run. He’s also quit smoking. Obama can be excused for enjoying the occasional state-fair corn dog because he mostly stays away from fatty foods."

I wonder if Bush was ever on their list. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if the President could still beat Obama in a 3 mile foot race, bad knees and all.

Before he switched to cycling, he was running 3 miles in under 21 minutes. That’s faster than me, and I’m half his age.

Sickly looking, anorexeic, crack and cigarette smoking Obama is the Poster Boy for Lung Cancer.

Quit smoking? Everybody at work that quit smoking gained at least 10 pounds within a year and some a lot more. That would show on him really clear.

Experience doesn’t matter to Democrats. Youth and immaturity is more important, even if there is a great chance of screwing the country up for the rest of our lives!

The more this guy gets hyped up, his every word hailed, his every movement praised, the more I could believe that he’s potentially the Antichrist. Never have I seen a more empty candidate being filled with the projected hopes of more people. Empty, that is, except for his true agenda which must of necessity be kept under deep dark cover until he wins the White House, because he could never be elected if his real agenda were known. Until then,he has to appear to be whatever a potential voter might desire him to be, ie, an empty vessel. Plus he has an astounding senstivity to criticism, which is either cynically assumed to short-circuit even legitimate questioning of his real stances, or is a sign of someone with extreme narcissism.

I had to kill some time recently in various hospital waiting rooms. The worst part was having to sift through all the crap the counts as American current interest periodicals. All treat the environmental movement reverently, most call for more socialism in some form and the worst are nothing more than a wet sloppy kiss to the Democrat party.

Obviously, this was written by and for a bunch of paunchy post-adolescents in a Bud Lite commercial. None of whom, unlike many Americans, has put in any 16 hour days at a real job, not just riding around and pressing the flesh and speechifying.

Media jerkoffs, doing what they do best.

Shoot, I just hope that I’m even half the shape that GHWBush is in when I get in my 80’s!

or a brisk 45-minute run

I'm surprised Obama runs. The wind resistance on those ears must be enormous. Prince Charleslian.

In all America??? Probably “among the 25 most fit” readers of Men's Fitness Magazine... And if so, it's not a particularly huge compliment.
