I answered nither. I was a Gym person, exersize made me think. Obama now entered real American politics not Chicago politics. Going to middle east is like going into death zone. Middle East is a different world. He gave up his father's faith and accepted chritionity. Middle east is Islamic world. Suside killing is not strange. secoendly, if he become president then he have to solve our economic problem and bring down the price of Gas." President of USA is not a political game for Change." DNC is using him for power.

Barrak does ths because he has always done this. He meets his friends this way and spends time away from normal life and away from the family. Getting exercise may be a side effect. Remember, he spent time in the neighborhood community centers and hardly ever did manual labor. Its a community thing.

I think he is doing this because of stress. He is being asked allot of questions and he does not have the answers. He is being watched by everyone. People are not really sure of him and he knows that.

SKINNY ARMS

Did you see those stick arms of his? HE NEEDS THE GYM. If those arms are a result of working out, I'll never ever pickup a weight again. I like my men with at least SOME muscle. I think the only Obama has is between his ears!*************ACTUALLY I COULD GIVE A C..P WHY HE DOES OR DOESN'T GO BUT I DOUBT VERY VERY VERY MUCH THAT HE'S BEEN GOING**************** (arms with less muscle than a womens')

I think its funny that he was a bench warmer in high school. On the baskeball court he look uncoordinated.

You know what? Your absolutely right! Muscles don't lie! My son, who uses the gym frequently, as Obama states he does, has just notified me, THAT man does NOT use the gym. I asked why not, he said: If he does, its to shoot a few baskets, but even then, he'd have some pecs (arm muscle) and that man doesn't. Either he's drinking more water than exercising or ....he's pulling one over on you. Well, isn't that a surprise!! If he's doing stress excercises, he'd have something to show for it. If he's in there to 'kick back', that's not exercise, now is it. So, why the use the gym tactic. From this point on, I'd say, it was to meet people. If you need to know who he's vetting for VP, I'd watch the back door of any 'gym' Obama kicked back at....lol.

NO MUSCLES AT ALL

Obama has a body like a girl! In short sleeves, he has NO muscles at all in his arms. Girlyman!??

He is intelligent and knows the more you exercise the more you repair mentally and physically. Although Gov. George Bush call him that because that is the only election he actually won can exercise non stop and none of it will help repair his brain cells he does not have much to work with

Ya'll got it wrong! Osama was at the gym so he can try to compete with his husband's rough housing. Michelle Osama is a man baby! Question is; does she tuck it or tape it...

Obama has always valued fitness; so don't frame your questions like there is some kind of agenda. I've known people that have seen him at the gym years ago. He and Michelle are in great shape. Just because he isn't an out-of-shape politician like others you want to insult him. Ridiculous.

Vince: I've seen more muscle in a chipmunk! Obamas arms are like skinny sticks. He might work out but it ain't with the upper half of his body. YOWZA! Without shoulder pads, my gosh, I'd hate to see what THAT would look like. I used to work out lots and IF YOU REALLY do you look 1000 times better than Obama. If thats how I'd look going back to working out, I think I'll stay home. I think the above person is right "girlyman".

DUMB DUFUS COMMENT
Jul 20, 2008 9:50pm ET

VICTORIA: Your comments are really really stupid gal pal! Grow up. Quick humping obama's leg. If they look anything like his arms he'd probably fall over. If you think thats a good body you obviously have never known a "real man" with SOME muscle. He looks sickly to me.

SKINNY GIRLY - You don't have to be muscle-bound to be physically fit. You should know that working out doesn't always include lifting weights. If you body type is slender, when you work out, you will be slender. You Obama haters need to take a break. Damn, you will criticize any and everything about the man. Victoria - You are right. I only remember Gov. George Bush riding horses and bailing hay.

HE JUST LOVES HIS BAMA
Jul 24, 2008 8:42pm ET

VINCE: Quit humpiing Obama's leg again. My gosh, your always on here defending him. NOW even his body. What's with you anyway? Obama is a skinny puny man. Its just as plain as day. If you had a brain Vince, you'd know that lifting weights makes SOME muscle; even a teensy bitty one. Obama ain't got any! ONLY between his big ears.

I believe once Sen. Obama saw there was no political benefit to visiting injured soldiers, he decided to go out and play. He seems to need this more than others who run for the highest office in the land; a vacation in the middle of a presidential primary, and another one scheduled during the general election campaign?!

I think he goes to the gym to say his muslim prayers.
