Just wondering.

[Schema Thing]

1. yes, from the campaign I believe

[Sanity Claws]

2. I think it is

I saw it posted here once. I think it was during the campaign.

3. Sure is - taken by Callie Shell for Time magazine

"Two staffers had just passed this site and done two pull-ups. Not to be outdone, Obama did three with ease, dropped and walked out to make a speech. Missoula, Mont., 4/5/2008."

9. Yes he can

do push-ups. Was there any doubt? He's in good shape and skinny.

10. Thanks Jackeens..'cause it wasn't

opening up for me.

Not sure I saw that before..oh, the muscles:patriot:

[Kahuna]

4. Yes. Obama is very strong. nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

5. What the Hell is he doing? Pull ups?

Seems like an odd time and place for a workout (not to mention he's in a suit)

[Pirate Smile]

6. A couple aides walked by it before him and did pull ups. He is a wee bit competitive.

He stopped and did more then the aides. It took probably 30 seconds.

edit to add:

The caption from post 3 explains it: "Two staffers had just passed this site and done two pull-ups. Not to be outdone, Obama did three with ease, dropped and walked out to make a speech. Missoula, Mont., 4/5/2008."

7. And aren't his hands backwards?

I dont mean that the photo has been Photochopped, but isn't it VERY hard to do a pull up with your hands facing out?

The little show off. :)

[Jackeens]

11. Huh, I do at least 30 of them every morning.

"YOU LIE"?

Well......maybe, just a bit.

8. Overhand grip

Impressive.


I can do a brazillion using an underhand grip, but overhand makes my shoulders *pop*.
