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.
Fit what?
Should read: “Obama One of 25 Fittest Gays.”
On the campaign trail?
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.
But he’s not fit for office.
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.
Truly Obama IS a god among men. < /BARF >
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.
Old Barry Obamunist should keep sucking on them Kools.
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.
AP -- In a move sure to delight his thousands of adoring sycophants among the nation's semi-literate press corp, Barack (No Middle Name Given) Obama has been named by the obscure Men's Smartness Magazine as one of the world's 25 smartest men for 2008 in an issue slated to hit the fan on May 19th.
"We really think he's quite brainy," gushed Jamie Zimmerwoman of SmartMag's editorial staff. "He has a plan to insure everybody's health, in like, the whole country. That's something that even Mrs. Clinton -- the smartest woman in the whole world -- was unable to do."
Zimmerwoman cited Obama's arcane geographical knowledge as being another reason for inclusion on the prestigious list. "In his travels around the US, he discovered seven new states that nobody else had ever discovered before! Can you believe that? Seven. The last time anyone discovered a state was almost fifty years ago, and now he discovers seven in just a few months."
"His knowledge of linguistics is also impressive," the editor continues. "For all of its so-called 'intelligence,' apparently nobody at the CIA knew until May of this year that Arabic translators would be needed in Afghanistan. But Barack stepped right into it, with his usual savoir fare."
"Some of the other girls in the office wanted to just declare him the Smartest Man of All Time," Jamie concludes. "But the editorial board decided we needed to save something for an 'October Surprise.' Anyway, between now and the general election I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of his brilliance on display; we're even thinking of making exploits of his intellectual legerdemain a regular feature. "
Whoa, there, sweetie!
Among those who could be reached for comment, some on the campaign trail were critical of the decision. "I don't see why a genius like Barack has to share the limelight with these other twenty-five losers like Steven Hawking and Andrew Wiles," observed noted gasbag Keith Olbermann. "Who publishes this Smartness rag, Fox News?" Um, that's twenty-four other losers, we reminded Keith, who won't be making the list anytime soon.
Asked to comment in the same studio, Chris Matthews replied simply, "I just hope the neurologist I'm scheduled to see about my recurring leg spasms is half as cute--excuse me--half as smart as Barak."
Expect to see articles on Barack's terrific emotional range in Empath Weekly and his healing powers in The Guardian. Air and Space is even investigating a (so far) unsubstantiated story about his ability to fly.
Does anyone else feel faint?
Or a couple of grams of cocaine.
another blowjob from the media for their candidate
I quit the local health club not wanting to be molested by some craving hunk of a gay blade on patrol to stimulate the hemorrhoids of an overweight, over the hill middle-aged professional.
So these folks named Ears Obama as one of the 25 fittest in America, give me a physical break.
That sure leaves a lot of argument to be had from those in the profession of being fit for work such as football, basketball etc. players.
