Obama may have 'skinny legs,' but can Schwarzenegger beat him in basketball?

[bridgit]

'California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's fitness advice for Barack Obama -- squats for his "skinny legs" and biceps curls "to beef up those scrawny little arms" -- got the Democratic nominee's chief strategist wondering: How are the California governor's basketball skills?

Schwarzenegger might not know it, strategist David Axelrod said, but "Sen. Obama's pretty fit."

The governor poked fun at Obama's lean physique Friday as he campaigned for Republican nominee John McCain in Ohio, where Schwarzenegger's annual bodybuilding contest was being held. In fact, Obama has been adamant about working out 45 minutes a day during the presidential campaign. On Saturday morning in Las Vegas, he hit the fitness center at Caesar's Palace.'

2. Has Arnold looked in the mirror lately?

Laugh. In shape he isn't.

4. he should listen to himself talking while he's at it; saying some of the most rank, addaled...

gibberish to dribble out steroidal laced, drug induced lips :spray:

5. ... just reflects the shallowness of his/ their arguments and policies.

They have nothing.

7. they have nothing! it's surprising they pulled it off for so long with so little

[Metta]

8. yes, nt

6. I saw that- He really offended me with those smart elicky comments about Obamas appearance

That was soooooo rude. I thought maybe Obama can't help his weight- I can't
help mine- making fun of people is what being a Repug is all about. There
nothing but a bunch of smart mouth hypocrites.

Schwarzenegger don't look so hot to me, and if I wanted to be really crude, I'd
mention that speech problem he has. }(

9. Schwarzenegger's no prize, his lunacy about leaving Europe cause of socialism is a farce...

Full of himself; he left to come here smoke dope grope women & pump iron he knows that

[Dems4me]

12. Exactly! n/t

[misanthrope]

11. Gimme a break...

...I'd put Obama's coordination, flexibility and aerobic fitness up against any bodybuilder any day.

As far as athletic skills go, a great deal of bodybuilders are way down the ladder on that count. I remember a power lifter once calling bodybuilders "Ferraris without engines." They are to athletics what runway models are to volleyball players.

13. No doubt! Watching him stand on stage he couldn't put his feet together...

Just kind of stands there like an ape. His ligaments & skeleton seem deformed likely from lifting such heavy weights in-line and repetitiously. I'll take mobility/flexibility, hand/eye coordination. That seems right to me. Mashing square pegs in round holes is some of what got us here :thumbsdown:

[brettdale]

14. I bet Obama

Never took steroids, you freak,

[opihimoimoi]
