Comments on Barack Obama is Your New Workout Partner

Too metric

Too stupid

Too irrelevent

I've read similar stories that take place in gyms, but they've taken it in slightly different directions.

Das Bild is sort of incredible- I read a lot of it because, sadly, it's the only German newspaper I have the reading ability to comprehend. They really do sensationalism entertainingly (as do British tabloids, but that's less fun for me).

The Obama story seriously reads like an introduction to a porn story. Stay classy, Bild!

Wait a second -- Barak Obama's one-arm rep weight is 70 pounds? It's a stupid thing to see in the news, but I'm honestly impressed. That's an amazing rep weight for someone with a desk job.

"He then benchpressed me 10 times while asking me about my immediate family and their avocations"

I Luhv Him SOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUUUCCCHH!!!!

Evian? How elitist.

Keep sucking his dick you dumb naive white bitches!

Wax fruit doesn't sweat.

Ooooh! Obama gets me all moist and squirmy!

Next week:

"Obama took a dump in the stall next to mine"

Too sporty.

We won't support skinny flip-flopping NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!!

@12,

Indeed.

70lbs dumbell curls 10 repetitions? I do not believe it, his frame is too small to handle that weight. 140 lbs and he weighs about 170 lbs, No way the story is exagerated, some guys on steriods could not do that.

too stalkery

"Dear Penthouse..."

This story cannot be accurate. I lift weights regularly, and I have NEVER seen even the biggest guys in the gym curl 70 lbs 10 times with each arm. She must mean 16 kilos TOTAL and 32 kilos TOTAL, not each dumbell.

Abby, noooooo! Don't let Bild eat your brain! Once your reading comprehension gets better you will realize it's not entertaining, it's frightening.

As this story proves.

God, Obama's handlers need to be more foreign-press savvy. They're just lucky she didn't claim to be raped by the scary brown dude, that would be exactly Bild's style. Ugh.

McCain jerk lifts pitbulls, with the help of his robotic assistant.

Except for those days when he forgets how to turn it on - it's the giant red On button, but when you get to his age, it's understandable.

Hawt!!!

Between this story and the pic earlier in the week with the sunglasses in the helicopter, I want his babies.

@21: then how will I know to be afraid of what teenagers are doing in Germany?

(Actually, I mostly read the sports pages, which are also sensationalist crap, but in a different way.)

@24 - true, but they have nice pics if you're into guys.

Get a grip, the guy is married and presumably hetro (though if Michelle is a beard, it might raise some questions about that christian church he went to)

In hand to hand combat I'm pretty sure my mother could take Kim Jong-il, and Ahmadinejad seems like the kind of guy who would have a shiv in his boot, so "Back off and nuke 'em from orbit! that's the only was to be sure"
Curling 70lb, while impressive, is irrelevant for the job he is applying for.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Obama is a secret practicioner of Physical Culturist!

Oh wait, that would be McCain-age vocabulary.

Obama is a secret bodybuilder!

@ 24: Oh, I see, you're all about the Shakespearean drama of the Bundesliga. Carry on ;)

@26: Yes, but Judith, the Bild reporter, is a GIRL.

@29, I don't think Eli is a girl, or a fair percentage (but not all) of the Slog readers who are drooling over him, and anyway, he is still married. McCain is the one who doesn't seem too concerned about marital fidelity. (you're welcome Andrew Bwwaaa ha ha)
