the buzz log

Not sure if you heard of him, but apparently some guy named Barack Obama is running for president. A lot of people are really excited about it. They search for his speeches, analyze his fistbumps, and watch clips of his kids talking to entertainment reporters.

But, really, when a guy runs for commander-in-chief, all that's to be expected. What took us by surprise was an article focusing on Senator Obama's workout routine. The information wasn't acquired via his campaign office or public relations department. Rather, it was creepily observed in a gym and then written down in amazing detail.

New York Magazine quotes the information from Politico. Apparently the presidential candidate wears Asics sneakers, white headphones, grey t-shirts, and black workout pants. As for his actual routine, "Obama ran a full body workout" including shoulder presses, dumbbell extensions, and tricep presses. According to the observer, Senator Obama then wiped the bench press after some calf raises. Strong work ethic and impeccable manners—no wonder people love him.
