You have to admit the guy looks like he is in teriffic shape.
I got to wondering how Barack Obama stays in shape and deals with all
the stress so I did a little research and posted the following in my
group, Benign World. Running around on a basketball court would pump
additional oxygen into your body.

President Obama's diet.

According to Barack Obama in an interview on 1/18/2008 his favorite food
is from Italian Fiesta Pizzeria in Hyde Park, Chicago, IL.

December 6, 2008
When it comes to food, Barack Obama eats pretty much anything, from
chicken wings and barbecue and ribs to grilled fish and steamed
broccoli, according to steadyhealth.com. But when he was campaigning in
a small town with limited options, a cheeseburger was always a good bet.
(Cheddar is the cheese of choice.) Obama likes MET-Rx chocolate
roasted-peanut protein bars and bottles of a hard-to-find organic brew
-- Black Forest Berry Honest Tea. He keeps a supply of both on hand.
Here are his other likes -- and dislikes.

WHAT HE EATS
• Planters trail mix: nuts, seeds and raisins * Roasted almonds
* Pistachios * Dentyne Ice * Nicorette * Vegetables, especially broccoli
and spinach * Handmade milk chocolates from Fran's chocolates in
Seattle.


WHAT HE DOESN'T
• Mayonnaise, salt and vinegar potato chips, asparagus (unless
no other vegetables are available then he'll eat it) beets, soft drinks,
(he prefers water) ice cream.
Senator, Obama's Aid, Football Star Mr. Reggie Love, 26, now knows that
when it comes to food, Senator Obama "eats pretty much anything, from
chicken wings and barbecue and ribs to grilled fish and steamed
broccoli." But when he is campaigning in a small town with limited
options, a cheeseburger is always a good bet. ("Cheddar is the cheese of
choice," Mr. Love added.)
He knows that "the boss," as he calls Mr. Obama, likes MET-Rx chocolate
roasted-peanut protein bars and bottles of a hard-to-find organic brew
â€" Black Forest Berry Honest Tea. He keeps a supply of both on
hand.
And he has learned that all campaigns have their superstitions â€"
Senator John McCain has a penchant for heads-up coins â€" and that
Mr. Obama is no exception. That means that Mr. Love and Mr. Obama, for
luck, play basketball every primary day.

Mr. Obama often mentions that Mr. Love was a wide receiver on a football
scholarship at Duke who also walked onto the basketball team. At a rally
a few weeks ago in Mr. Love's hometown, Charlotte, N.C., the candidate
led the crowd in a chant of "Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!"
In 2006, after applying for an internship on Capitol Hill, Mr. Love
ended up interviewing with Robert Gibbs, Mr. Obama's communications
director, for a position in Mr. Obama's Senate office. "It's the only
time I've ever interviewed somebody whose work experience included the
Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys," Mr. Gibbs said.
"He's quick and he's strong," Mr. Love said of Mr. Obama. "A lot of
people still don't know that he's left-handed, so he can get to the
basket and get his shot off, even though he's not the most explosive or
tallest player on the court."
If Mr. Obama thinks Mr. Love is dogging it on the court, he can come
down hard, shouting at him to hustle, said someone who has played
basketball with the two of them.
But on the day of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, Mr. Love and
Mr. Obama played at noon and kept up an easy rhythm. "Sorry, Reg, I
missed you," the senator said after a pass to Mr. Love was intercepted.
Later, on a fast-break, Mr. Obama dribbled up the right side of the
court and passed the ball ahead to Mr. Love, who slam-dunked it.
