Political Play of the Day: Obama becomes a gym rat

Sometimes it's hard to tell if Barack Obama is running for president of the United States or Mr. Universe.

The Democratic presidential contender exercises regularly, but over a 24-hour span this week, he took it to a new extreme.

Twice on Wednesday and again Thursday morning, Obama traveled to a lakefront apartment building near his Chicago home to work out with a friend at his gym. On Wednesday night, Obama also spent an hour at the East Bank Club, a mammoth exercise facility just north of the city's famous business Loop where he is known to play basketball.

A distinct lack of visible sweat on the Illinois senator triggered questions about whether he was actually exercising or using the gym visits as cover for conducting vice presidential vetting or interviews.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton e-mailed a succinct, two-word answer: "Working out."

And how much time does Chimpy spend working out? Falling off his mountain bike and Segways? Setting a record for vacations? Bragging about his fitness?

But Obama spending time in a gym is a scandal and especially since the media can't detect any sweat? Aaaaargh!

5. Isn't that the gym Osama bin Laden goes to?

It's pretty obvious what Obama is doing there. He's plotting an extremist Muslim takeover of the western hemisphere. Duh.
