Physical Fitness

Yahoo! News reported The following is a fact sheet released today by the Democratic National Committee:

The White House this weekend announced that resident Bush received good news during his annual physical. Doctors pronounced the President to be in "superior" physical condition, which media reports attributed to his rigorous, six day a week exercise routine.

Gee, I bet they are not happy that Bush is in such good shape. He does not go into every McDonalds he sees and pick up a bag of french fries either.

While President Bush has made physical fitness a personal priority, his cuts to education funding have forced schools to roll back physical education classes and his Administration's efforts to undermine Title IX sports programs have threatened thousands of women's college sports programs.

I suspect their definition of cut is "less than we hoped they would increase spending to"

"President Bush's has dropped the ball when it comes to fully funding physical education in public schools

Funding for public schools is primarilly the job of local, and to some extent state government.

and women's athletic programs at the college level," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Josh Earnest. "His personal habits indicate that physical fitness is not just fun and games for him. Don't our kids deserve the same opportunities to be physically fit?

Maybe they should walk and run more, and ride their bike to school, rather than getting Momma to drive them. And maybe the schools should get rid of the vending machines for candy and soft drinks.

President Bush should stop running from his responsibility and make sure that all American children have access to physical fitness programs."

Michelle Malkin blogged See Lorie Byrd and Lyflines for details of a snort-worthy DNC press release. I, for one, am glad we don't have a president who has muffin top.

RyanVOX blogged Personally, I would rather have a guy in shape running things than a overweight Bubba who was actually doing more harm to women by using a female intern as an object of sexual gratification in the Oval Office.

Single Malt Pundit blogged according to the DNC, you need a government program to make kids exercise. Yup, it takes a village to make a fat kid go outside rather than trying to unlock the hidden sex scenes in Grand Theft Auto - or more accurately, it takes several million dollars of Uncle Sam’s money. Not to mention the fact that physical education programs tend to be little more than a waste of time that should be spent on more valuable subjects.

Ankle Biting Pundits blogged Honestly, if George Bush walked on water tomorrow, the DNC would issue a press release entitled "Bush Can't Swim".
