Are we supposed to be outraged that he's wasting his day working out! Tell me what to be outraged about MSM!

 
Mr. McPeanut 2008-07-17 02:50:53 PM  
No comment yet from Obama on this story, as he needs to be at the gym again in 26 minutes.

Oh cmon Give Toilet McWalker a break! At the very least PLEASE PLEASE PLEAS do not walk on his lawn.

As long he doesn't workout at his vacation ranch for 48 weeks out of the year, it should be ok.

But watch it fella.

There was another article about this talking about how little he sweats when he works out.

The article was creepy.

shiat, if i had a troupe of angry motherfarkers following me with cameras 24/7, i'd be stressed out, too. Going to the gym probably makes his life at least bearable.

 
Jim_Callahan 2008-07-17 02:57:52 PM  
188 minutes = 3 hours, give or take a bit. That's appropriate. Not daily, but at a time (most people do three days a week).

 
Donald_McRonald 2008-07-17 02:59:56 PM  
Meanwhile, McCain can't even do one measly pullup.

Why do they have to show the black man shooting hoop on DrudgeReport?

Matt Drudge is a wide stance Republican racist!

srysly doubt 1/10 farkers could, either.

Now, I know that the first liar doesn't stand a chance, but I can do 32 one armed pull-ups - all while getting a mouth hug from your mom.....;)

What says "man of the people" more than the East Bank Club?

And I call for a penalty for misuse of the Interesting tag.

Sweet headline.

So is he spending his time playing Dungeons and Dragons... Satan's game?

 
fritopendejo 2008-07-17 03:09:59 PM  
He should give up going to the gym, you know, to support the troops.

 
paul9639 2008-07-17 03:17:11 PM  
6 trips in one day? I am all for working out but that is weird. Guess he likes locker rooms

you'd think with all that muscle mass he's building it'd be harder to flip-flop

OR

i guess all that time on the treadmill is why he's found it so easy to run to the center

The article was creepy because someone wrote about the perspiration rate of a presidential candidate? Yeah, that IS kinda creepy. When does journalism cross the line into stalking?

 
HamSlammer 2008-07-17 03:31:30 PM  
Obama is one of those gym goin folks. We don't take to kindly to them kind around these parts.

It's pretty hard when you can't get your hands above your head.

 
Lawnchair 2008-07-17 03:42:32 PM  
I guess city boys like him don't have brush to clear.

 
CravenMorehead 2008-07-17 03:55:04 PM  
with "multiple repetitions"? Isn't that rather repetitively redundant?

i know wtf? its a little strange going to three diffrent gyms in one day maybe the first two had no naked larry sinclar's in the locker room?

Does the press follow him into the gym? Maybe he was just running or doing some situps to get some time away from the horde.

You mean he can't throw his hands in the air and wave them around like he just don't care?

You know who else is a politician who's into getting pumped up?

Depends?

Thanks for that bit of news, but this article does not answer my question; does Obama do any cardio kickboxing classes?

 
Cybernetic 2008-07-17 05:13:26 PM  
Back in 2000, Bush's devotion to exercise was called fanatical and indicative of his addictive personality--and I don't think he worked out for anything close to three hours a day.

Fanatical? Indicative of his addictive personality? Who said this? I don't suppose you have any evidence to back this up, do you?

I was going to say this, but you beat me to it. Well done, sir.

/My, but this hand basket is comfy.

Subby understood how we are supposed to feel. It was a photo op.

It was way back in 2000 when the Gore folks were saying everything he did was a symptom of addictive personality while trying to get cocaine and alcoholism tied around his neck before the election. It was the same sort of thing that happens every election. One guy goes on to say that no one ever said that their guy said the other guy has an addiction to drugs or little boys or whatever, then the next segment another guy comes on talking about how the candidate that wasn't called a drug addict has a lot of addictive tendencies.

As far as this goes, 3 freaking hours? What the hell does he do there? I go and do upper and lower body then 30 mins of cardio in less than 80 mins. Is he playing some pickup basketball?

Fark:

Works out 188 minutes a day? Well refined? Intelligent? Hidden agenda?

The name, "Patrick Bateman" comes to mind *Aheh*
