On December 25th of this year the Washington Post printed the following, "But one habit endures: Obama has gone to the gym, for about 90 minutes a day, for at least 48 days in a row. He always has treated exercise less as recreation than requirement, but his devotion has intensified during the past few months. Between workouts during his Hawaii vacation this week, he was photographed looking like the paradigm of a new kind of presidential fitness, one geared less toward preventing heart attacks than winning swimsuit competitions. The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games."
Freshman coeds are fainting in the background as a scene from his college days pops up with his date saying, "Oh, Barack, you're so big you might hurt me!........." flash back to the beach in Hawaii, December 2008, where the Washington Post Reporter has gushed herself to exhaustion...... Whew, Favio, you are so screwed, stud! There is a new dude in Dodge, and he runs the country. This isn't Will Smith's "Hanson", this is the real McCoy, at least according to the Washington Post.
It will be truly refreshing when the fourth estate begins to realize that they have unfailingly, unabashedly and unapologetically prostituted the art of reporting the news honestly and with professionalism. Hopefully, there will be a ritual sharing of coolaid among the media, not unlike how Jim Jones passed out drink to his morons, only with sodium pentothal rather than arsenic, so that these erudite buffoons might possibly see the light behind the misrepresentations they pass off to the world as news in the name of their cause, rather than offering a true perspective that allows the naive and uninitiated the opportunity to judge for themselves what the measure of news, or in this case, our new President, really is. Even Jay Leno's All Stars deserve some insight before making complete idiots of themselves on national media. When you reduce the President of the United States to his physique, one wonders whether or not the more essential requirements might be lacking in some way. Those who voted for him rather doubt that, so why don't you guys get a grip and respect the man for his brain rather than his brawn and quit denigrating the office with your sophomoric observations?
To you of the fourth estate who still have a brain, if you are going to be sycophants to our new President, would it conceiveably be possible for you to do it with honor, rather than reveal what a complete level of brainwashing you have succumbed to, to discredit your profession? For you have become, sadly, caricatures of a time honored profession.
