From Indecision 2008…
Still
questioning the superhuman abilities of Barack Obama? Well, take under
advisement this account, by a German journalist, of the amazing physical prowess he displayed while touring Europe…
He goes and picks up a pair of 16 kilo weights and
starts curling them with his left and right arms, 30 repetitions on
each side. Then, amazingly, he picks up the 32 kilo weights! Very
slowly he lifts them, first 10 curls with his right, then 10 with his
left.
Ezra Klein puts the somewhat unlikely claim into a little perspective…
32 kilos is about 70 pounds. Not sure I believe this,
but it does point towards an interesting campaign strategy in which
Obama proves his national security chops by winning an arm wrestling
match with a bear. That's the sort of foreign policy experience Americans tend to want in their candidates.
I wouldn't have believed it either, except that I came upon this
exclusive footage of a disguised and undercover Obama practicing for
what I can only assume is a yet-to-be proposed arm rasslin' match with
the war hero McCain…
