07/29/2005: "The Most Powerful Man In The World"

This is an entry from several days ago that I could not upload due to Blogger.com. It is reproduced here:

Jonathan Chait wrote a column for the LA Times criticizing President Bush for his exercise regimen. Click the link for the full article.

I would like to say that I like the idea of the President of the United States being in great shape. It's a kind of superhero fantasy that I think is a great image for the leader of the free world. I mean, should we need someone to rise to the occasion, isn't it better to have a leader that can hold his own instead of sending in his 'goons' to do it for him? Hasn't anyone seen the movie, "Air Force One?" What if something like that happened for real. I think George W. would have a chance should something like that happened.

The Iraq War could have ended in a showdown between Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush. Hey, perhaps that is what is started out as preparation for. One day, George W. might be walking down the street, and out pops Osama Bin Laden wanting a fistfight. Presidents have to be ready for something like that, and I, for one, feel at ease knowing who would win that fight.
