My Sweat is Prettier...
Obama's Workout:
Fit Democratic president = Disciplined, health-conscious Adonis role model
Obama's workout routine has of late been seen as god like. Example being, "The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games" as reported by Eli Zaslow. He as well reported that "Obama has gone to the gym for about 90 minutes a day, for at least 48 days in a row." According to Zaslow, the "Gym Workouts Help Obama Carry the Weight of His Position."
Journalists see Obama demonstrating discipline and balance in his life. Marty Nesbitt from Chicago was kind enough to add, who offered this diagnosis: "He doesn't think of it as something he has to do -- it's his time for himself, a chance for him to reflect. It's his break. He feels better and more revved up after he gets in his workout."

Bush's Workout:
Fit Republican president = Selfish, indulgent, creepy fascist
Bush's routing was attacked in an opinion piece for the LA Times 3 years ago by former Washington Post writer Jonathan Chait with the headline "The (over)exercise of power." He criticized how President Bush ran 3.5 miles a day and preached more cross-training to a federal judge, Chait fumed, "Am I the only person who finds this disturbing?...What I mean is the fact that Bush has an obsession with exercise that borders on the creepy."
Chait saw Bush's devotion to exercise was a avoidance of duty. "Does the leader of the free world need to attain that level of physical achievement?" he taunted. "It's nice for Bush that he can take an hour or two out of every day to run, bike or pump iron. Unfortunately, most of us have more demanding jobs than he does."
Reuters journalist Caron Bohan expressed the same feelings in his report on Bush's 2 hour, 17-mile bike ride with cycling champ Lance Armstrong in Crawford, Texas, in 2005. He highlighted the 6 day-a-week workout schedule and then turned the article into an anti-war rant: "Bush says exercise helps sharpen his thinking. But some of his critics view his exercise obsession as an indulgence that takes time away from other priorities.”

Now that’s not a little one sided…right…
