在他的一競選講話中， Barrack Obama參議員說， 「聽，我是皮包骨頭的，但我是堅韌的」。
他有信心贏取，并且他想要非常贏取。？ 但，根據一篇文章在華爾街日報，在國家， 66%投票的人口超重，有些發現難與他們的關係Obama的微小的體質和被察覺的價值。？ 如此，健康和適合的圖像也許事與願違。 來源
一旦新聞在24個小時之內發生Obama去向體操報告3次期間，他的對手抓住了機會批評他作為是生疏與人在街道。？ McCain競選有題為「比較Obama到Britney Spears和巴黎Hilton。的著名人士的」這個新的廣告？ 間接地，競選是大概告訴人們Obama花費了解決和大概太適合的許多多餘的時間是美國的下位總統。
如果我們看美國歷史，最後超重總統？ 1908年William Howard Taft與335磅(大約150公斤)，而James Madison是98磅以5 ′ 4 ″高度，大概最小的大小總統。？ Abraham Lincoln是高和皮包骨頭的類型以170磅和6 ′ 4 ″高度。
現在， Obama參議員比他的高度的一般的美國人是大約6 ′ 2和大概190磅，輕微地10磅打火機。？ 然而，當他是孩子，他是否是胖的。？ 在高中時間之後，在他通常打籃球他只開始減肥下來。
現今， 伊利諾伊參議員離垃圾食物遠點并且放棄抽煙。？ 他偶爾地只吃他們.? 他早晨幾乎每日通常解決在體操。？ 根據看見他制定出的人，他是否沒有我認為的一位個人教練員(他應該考慮得到一)。？ 他佩帶了灰色襯衣、黑連續褲子、白色運動鞋和白色耳機。？ 他的鍛煉包括三頭肌推擠下來，肩膀新聞、頂上的啞鈴引伸和小牛培養。？ 他不舉像瘋狂。？ 他有偉大的自我訓練一貫地行使。？ 不是，因為，在他看了在仲2007年之後某時被出版的他自己的shirtless圖片？
實際上， 我懷疑Obama參議員在24個小時之內實際上制定出3次如報告。 記者看見他進入那些私有gyms，但沒人知道發生了什麼裡面。？ 我猜測他大概開特別會議或討論與某人和使用鍛煉作為好掩蓋。
這少量射擊顯示Obama準備制定出和打籃球。
Wonder why Obama was wearing long pants and tuck his shirts.? Make him look taller?
On the other hand, Senator McCain is 5′ 7″ and 165 pounds.? Senator McCain does not lift weights due to injuries he suffered as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.? He loves coffee and doughnuts from Dunkin’ Donuts.? He admitted that he struggles with weight loss, which his supporters claim that therefore he is more “human”.? Sometimes, a more down-to-earth image can help.
I do not think voters will and should base their decisions on physical appearance alone to cast their votes.? Otherwise, Mr Universe like Arnold will be the best candidate.? Just look at some other great leaders in other parts of the world, none of them have 6 pack abs.? But certainly not obese till having difficulty to walk or being ill.? I definitely want my country leader to be fit and healthy.? In fact, exercising helps in destressing too.
So, how about your country leaders, do they have big tummy too or are they always tired till have to doze off during meetings?
Scroll down to leave a comment. I really want to know what you think.

Nice post Mun. Although I don’t think that it’s essential for our leaders to be super fit, I do think they should maintain some form of exercise routine because it shows they are disciplined. If cannot maintain some degree of control over their own body shape how can they be expected to maintain control over an entire country?

It’s important that our leaders stay healthy - especially since there is so much uncertainty in the world these days and they need to be healthy to do their job.
Remember our previous PM, when he underwent heart surgery, the stock market took a dip due to uncertainty of the outcome of the procedure.
Hmmm… I would have to say that most of our “wise” leaders could use a good workout. Every year, I see that their stomachs (and egos) get bigger and bigger…

Sensational post! And I agree with what Paul & Angie said. It’s true- if we cannot control our weight, how can we be expected to run the country- that is the general perception. As for William Tuck- maybe during his time being overweight was the ‘in thing’. A healthy president (no need 6 packs la) can send an effective message across and act as a good role model for people to live a healthy lifestyle. just that I hope Obama is not one of those who suffer from eating disorders(in order to stay thin when no time to exercise)… like many celebrities.

Wallaawwweehhhh…… last picture really makes me laugh reminiscing the old memories especially during a boring lecture time back in university. But wait till Obama starts running U.S (if he wins), those busy schedules + invitations (of course eat eat eaattttt), maybe he’ll gain weight like McCain.
But at least Obama shows a good attitude of having fitness as a lifestyle, rather than excuse of McCain on the Vietnm war. For leaders, I presume 2 level of exercises they should embark:-
1. Physical exercises
2. Mental exercises
From here we can see how fit & creative they are in dealing day-to-day problems with proactive solutions……….
Just my opinion…………

I can’t believe that Americans would say they can’t relate to a possible President because he works out too much. It’s like, “Oh, no, he’s too much of a good, healthy role model! I can’t stand it!”

I think Americans will vote based on the person’s ability to help them solve their problems whether it’s economic, social etc. Don’t think they will care about how fit the person is. But personally, I prefer the president to be fit and healthy so that he does not sleep in meetings. LOL

I agree that people in these positions shouldn’t work their selves to the extreme. However, they should try to work some because it helps with focus and mental health. Everyone in the White House needs to start working out ! ! !
