Newsbusters- Given the intense and sustained media attacks on Donald Trump, it’s sometimes easy to forget just how much journalists loved Barack Obama. Instead of comparing the President to Hitler or Nazis, The Washington Post embarrassed itself by drooling over the Democrat’s “chiseled pecs.”
Eleven years ago this week, on December 25, 2008, The Washington Post’s Eli Saslow gushed over Barack Obama as a “paradigm of a new kind of presidential fitness.” The creepy Post headline enthused, “As Duties Weigh Obama Down, His Faith in Fitness Only Increases.”
Saslow’s prose oozed the worst kind of celeb-obsessed tabloid praise:
Being elected president forces a man to take inventory of his life, so Barack Obama has trimmed his schedule to the bare essentials. He’s not in the White House yet, but gone are the hours he once spent reading novels, watching television, and obsessing over the daily transactions of Chicago’s sports teams. He eat out only once every few weeks. He visits friends rarely, if at all.
But one habit endures: Obama has gone to the gym for about 90 minutes a day, for at least 48 days in a row. He has always treated exercise less as recreation than requirement, but his devotion has intensified during the last few months. Between workout 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. The sun glinted off his chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games.
The inside-the-paper headline hailed, “Gym Workouts Help Obama Carry the Weight of His Position.” In case you missed the point, Obama is just so darn fit! read more
I don’t give a rat’s ass how “fit” he was,
he still threw like a girl.
I think I saw Saslow’s presidential knee pads on sale on Ebay.
I thought they were admiring Mike Obama.
Gee Wally, they didn’t call him the Kenyan Kremepuff for nuthin!
…wait a minute, I see where the confusion is…
They MEANT to say he was a chiselER, but it autocorreted to “Chiseled”, honest mistake, that…
“Chiseler
Historically linked to thieves, but more recently associated with just about anything. Someone who picks something apart a tiny bit at a time. One can chisel on another’s stash, their money, their air, their space, their game, their well-being…whatever.”

…I’m sure we’ll get a correction, any day now…
“Pretty Man”
…sorry, NEITHER…
“The sun glinted off his chiseled pectorals”
Eli Saslow was literally masturbating into a napkin as he penned that. Go Google him. You can totally see it.
Pfft, come on. *I* could beat him in a fight.
Fit? Obama had the unsightly combination of being simultaneously skinny and flabby. I believe this body type is what is known as “skinny fat”. Big Mike had more muscle tone and he/she/it was just regular old fat.
They Edited out “Reading Dr. Seuss Novels”
Imagine playing Golf with this P*ssy….
“The Red Tees again Sir?”
You can’t chisel butter by swinging a golf club. OTOH, swinging a hammer on a rock pile at Stony Lonesome might might tone him up a bit.
“…His Faith in Fitness…”
…probably closer to the truth than intended…Barry worships his scrawny self above all else…having faith in the creation and not the Creator, like any other reprobate mind…
“Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
Romans 1:25
The WaPoo? Aren’t these the same people who call us a “cult”, because we admire President Trump’s long list of accomplishments?
in a recent poll of gay men, they chose black d as their favorite snack item.
The look on that dog’s face in the picture says it all.
“Chiseled pecs” or “checkered pizzle”?
obama:
wears mom jeans
golfs like a epileptic
throws a baseball like a girl
rides a girls bike, with a bike helmet on
married a man dressed like a woman
has a gay men dress him
works out like a fairycake crossdresser in the gym
let’s all admire and praise a true millennium man !
Darn, and all this time I thought that they were turned on by his Granny Panties!
Here always looked like a taller version of Curious George. And about as bright.
At least George isn t a traitor.
Can I get a copy of that pic?

“Here always looked like a taller version of Curious George. And about as bright.”
Hey, STOP that! It’s offensive.
To Curious George.
I grew UP reading Curious George. My SON learned to read with Curious George. Curious George went to his first surgery with him when he wasn’t even a year old.
I read with Curious George, I knew Curious George, Curious George was a friend of mine.
And, “Obama”, sir, is no Curious George…
This is nauseating.
(And btw) Trump actually was an athlete.
He’s got the physique of a 5th grade boy.
Hold on there! That dirt-bag pseudo Republican contributor on PBS was not interested in Obummers pecs he proudly admitted that he wanted to sniff Obummers crotch!
Maybe the pecs he got from Michelle? She was at the top of the pecking order.

A fifth grade boy could beat the crap out of him. Causing him to become transparent…
