OK…we get it. Barack Obama is fit. He spends a lot of time in the gym. Most of the press is in love with him, but when he was finally faced with tough questions from reporters, Obama pleads to finish his waffles. I guess health, fitness and discipline only go so far.

I am already tired of the stories of Obama’s work outs. There was no interest in the fact the George Bush could run 7 minute miles when he entered the office. For those of you who don’t run…that’s pretty fast for an old guy. For those of you with treadmills…that’s 8.5 miles per hour. Before I had children, I used to go to the YMCA and run the treadmills into the ground. I am a pretty big guy who could run fast and far. Sometimes I would get one treadmill to quit. Once I blew a fuse and took out a whole wall of treadmills. I had my 200 lbs frame running 9.5 mph.

I could do 7 minute miles in my early 30′s….but not in my forties. I was impressed with George Bush’s fitness.

George Bush was not admired for his fitness. He was mocked by the same people fawning over Barack Obama. The double standard is staggering.
