[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]

Two errors in the first sentence, one involving the superfluous use of an apostrophe (it’s) and the second, the use of hail for hale; I’m supposed to take this seriously?

The list will include NCAA track star and possibly the fastest man in America Walter Dix, pro-football star Reggie Bush, Major League slugger Albert Pujols, platinum-selling singers Justin Timberlake and Dierks Bentley, actors Will Smith and Dennis Quaid, among others. It will be topped by golf legend Tiger Woods.

Citing his competitive spirit, his basketball skills, his grueling campaign schedule, as well as his successful battle with smoking, Men’s Fitness listed Barack Obama among the fittest American men.

According to the magazine, Obama “starts every day with a morning workout, whether it’s machines at the hotel gym or a brisk 45-minute run.”

Though the Illinois Senator will sometimes partake in unhealthy foods on the campaign trail when mixing with voters, he “can be excused for enjoying the occasional state-fair corn dog because he mostly stays away from fatty foods.”

His skills on the court, which go back to his high school days, have earned him the nickname “Barry O’Bomber.”

According to Men’s Fitness magazine (out May 19th), Barack Obama is not just the fittest politician in the race for the presidency - he’s one of the nation’s 25 fittest guys. So you don’t have to wait till next week - here’s the magazine’s reasoning:

“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. He’s also, as we’ve seen, a bit of a baller. Nicknamed “Barry O’Bomber” for his jump shot, the former high school hoopster now releases stress during pickup games—including one on every primary day. “He’s wiry-looking but actually pretty strong,” former Duke player and Obama staffer Reggie Love has said. “And he hates losing. He plays hard.” Now that we know.”

President Bush is perhaps the fittest president in history; however, he is not a "Health Nut." He is just obsessed with exercise.

In an interview this morning on CBS's The Early Show, the President spoke about his own experiences with fitness and how his fitness has benefited not only his physical health, but also his mental health. Speaking to Hannah Storm, the President, who will turn 61 on July 6th, had this to say:

I believe strongly in exercise. I exercise a lot because it's good for my mind and good for my soul. But I hope I set a good example to others that exercise is good for you.

LOL, most excellent!

But you seem to have forgotten the award-winning photograph from National Geographic in which Senator Obama was pictured striding across Lake Michigan.

Hey, it's okay. Lots to keep up with when trying to recount the deeds of a messianic figure.

Show actual, quantifiable proof from a disinterested third party that could withstand the scrutiny of an unbiased jury or STFU.

However I doubt that you can do either.

With apologies to St. John the Divine:

"And there are also many other things which Obama did, the which, if they should be photographed every one, I suppose that even the FRee Republic itself could not contain all the html <img> tags which would be tagged."

He bestrideth the very Earth, a Colossus.

Obama won’t have to worry about it, President McDole will be the one getting a physical.
