Obama & His Fresh New Image
By Joe Fier | January 23, 2009
This week has definitely been one in the history books. As the entire world huddled around their TVs or streamed online video nervously at work, behind the boss’ back, we watched Barack Obama become the first black president of the United States. Just as what his campaign has long promised, he’ll be bringing change to the White House, and hope to millions of Americans. You might be thinking politically when you read this, but think again. Obama is bringing a whole new mentality and image to people over 40 and the stereotypical politician in general.
The other day I came across Telegraph’s article, “Barack Obama: redefining the male physique”, and thought that it was rather amazing read.
Obama is now a man that is just beginning his uphill battle with trying to solve the economic crisis in America and is the most powerful man in the Western world, but he still works out 45 minutes each day! This is just simply amazing. To see that this is a man who conscientiously will take time from his day, sometimes even sacrificing sleep time to keep his workout routine on track is surely a lesson to us all. We all know that getting out for a run or visiting the gym a couple times each week is demanding enough, but we should try and take a lead from Obama and his dedication. I’m not giving all of my hands-down support for him solely based off of his workout regiment, but this is impressive. Looking back at Bill Clinton many years ago when he would take a leisurely jog from time to time, but we all knew that he was never in shape. Obama is a complete transformation from those past years. He is a man who will, and should, give us hope, in the sense of motivation to begin a workout routine and actually be able to stick to it.
If he could stick to his jogging and weight resistance six-days a week and still become insanely successful, I sure hope he could do the same for our struggling economy…
