Given the intense and sustained media attacks on Donald Trump, it’s sometimes easy to forget just how much journalists loved Barack Obama. Instead of comparing the President to Hitler or Nazis, The Washington Post embarrassed itself by drooling over the Democrat’s “chiseled pecs.” Eleven years ago this week, on December 25, 2008, The Washington Post’s Eli Saslow gushed over Barack Obama as a “paradigm of a new kind of presidential fitness.” The creepy Post headline enthused, “As Duties Weigh Obama Down, His Faith in Fitness Only Increases.” Saslow’s prose oozed the worst kind of celeb-obsessed tabloid praise:

If you want to vomit, you can basically read any of the constant gushing and ridiculous headlines praising him and Michelle 24/7.
Ridiculous and the bias right now is off the charts and so wrong. Even pretending to be fair journalism is dead.

Propagandists are unintentionally hilarious most of the time. Sap Eli Saslow will go down in history as one of the bigger lapdogs for actually writing that Barry was some kind of buff dude. LOL, come on Eli, we saw him pitch a baseball and everyone knows Mike is the Alpha in that relationship.

Right. Pipe-cleaner biceps, buffed up with those three pound dumbbell curls.

Ew.
Don't go there. I'm warning you.
Way worse than Peaches Bootyjuice if you can imagine that.
The other mister stinky isn't in the photo -- only males -- probably having her neck bolts charged.

Just watch Michelle dancing on Ellen’s show. It’s an eye opener.

Am willing to concede Hussein accomplished one thing in the longest 8 years in human history. He killed a fly. In the next Dracula movie he should play Renfield.

As bad as the slobbering over Hussein’s ‘chiseled’ pecs, the pants knife crease and the ‘tingle’ up Chrissie Mathews’ leg, the gushing over Michelle’s wonderful ‘sense of style’ and her ‘cut’ arms was even worse. We have now the (IMHO) most beautiful and stylish First Lady in history. Completely ignored by the TDS haters and poofters at Vogue and 99% of the ladies mags.

If he’d mooned them during a press conference, the next sound to follow would have been several heads clanging together, a la Three Stooges, in a mad rush to smooch what was revealed.

People forget cash for clunkers, bail outs, 2 year extension of unemployment benefits, housing crisis, low morale in military & police, high gas prices, billions to Iran, Lerner destroyed the tea party, suits against Hobby Lobby & Sisters of the poor, Michelle complaining about her life in the WH as living in a bubble.....

"The sun glinted off his chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games."
Yup, Scott Whitlock really wrote that.

And what about the way the melado man pressed his denim pants and pretended to fire a shotgun? What a macho hombre! Pete Buttigieg is drooling.

They have to be delusional or simply stupid. Obama was one of the biggest wimps to ever be president.
He was a skinny weakling and when he worked out used less weight than an average woman.
He thought he could play basketball and missed something like 21 out of 22 free throws!

Mike's pecs, shoulders and legs are bigger than Barry's. Must be from all of the digging in the garden.

He puts Arnold Schwarzenegger in his best days to shame, right Eli? And let's not forget those 'toned' arms of the Sasquatch.
