He is a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders but President Barack Obama appears to be shedding pounds in other areas.
A photograph of Mr Obama emerging from a gym in Fort McNair, Washington showed him looking slimmer than usual.
The Drudge Report website, which published the picture, captioned it "Barack 'N Bones" and said "rigorous workouts and high-stress basketball games" were responsible for the president's apparent weight loss.
Mr Obama has been teased by political opponents in the past about his physique.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the California governor, once joked that he had "scrawny arms" and that he would make Mr Obama "do some squats". By contrast, Michelle Obama's gym-toned arms have been widely admired.
The couple are vocal supporters of healthy living and Mr Obama goes regularly to the gym.
As he came out of the gym in Fort McNair, he was wearing a large jacket which may have contributed to his skinny look.
A Washington insider told the Drudge Report that the president was not chain-smoking - his one vice - but does occasionally skip meals because he is "working non-stop for the country". A week ago, Mr Obama talked about his physique as h

He has a 69 sign over his left ear in the last picture. 666 would have been more believable, however.
“Aids.”
My first thought. . . .
Call me when he loses his job....
And prayers up for his health—I do not want him to get sick and die in office—the idiots will respond in a way that would make the JFK “what might have been” blather seem restrained.
King was a phony whose death was a good career move-if he’d lived he’d be as big a joke as Jessuh Jackhole.
Be well BO, and get the hell out of our lives on 1-20-13.
I mean to say behind his right ear.
Empty suit?
Which country?
Someone has to get a hair sample!
Same man tits.
He’s okay.
With all those dinner dates? Not likely........
Well before we revel in the idea of Barack not being president, let us soberly consider Joe Biden as president - or God forbid he falls over stone dead after hearing he’s the President - Nanzi Pelosi.
Is it possible that Obama is overdoing the work-outs and golf because he doesn’t much care for most of the realities of his new life as a President? Maybe his work-outs have become the one bright spot in his days. Maybe it is all so much more of an endless hassle to be king than he ever expected.
I think he gets to smoke on the golf course.
He’s been on the “down low” and picked something up
Did he have any “weight” to begin with?
“With all this worry over H1N1, maybe Obama should be more worried about HIV...”
Bingo!!! I do believe you may be on to something!!
Maybe it is under control...but, they still will lose weight.
For those assuming that it is his smoking...nah, won’t do it. Smokers come in all sizes and weights.
Maybe he doesn’t have his bullet proof vest on in this picture.
Just got reminded of that by the pics...I'm not implying Bambi has AIDS. My guess would be secret chain smoking, see the Mad Magazine cover on the first 100 minutes:
Cheers!
