VIDEO AT LINK

It's the latest viral video burning up the Internet, the talk of watercooler conversation all over the country today: President Obama looking positively goofy strenuously working out with a set of dumbbells. [I'll pause to let you write your own punchline]

It was video too good to ignore for both ABC's World News and CBS's Evening News, while NBC Nightly News decided to take a pass.

Of course, both networks worked in a relatively positive spin for the president, with ABC worrying about and subsequently dismissing the notion of the video being a "security breach" while CBS's Maurice DuBois hailed the president as an disciplined athlete who sleepily hit the gym while on a grueling overseas trip.

If you watch the video it is clearly a staged photo op. He’s using baby weights, displaying incorrect form, grimacing on the wrong part of the lift and shows no muscle mass for someone who supposedly “works out” with wieghts.

I am more interested in what time he worked out. Is it his normal routine of working out at around 8;30 am just In time to catch a shower, breakfast and getting to the office at the crack of noon.

Check out this lazy asses work schedule for the days he is actually NOT at a conference or on vacation:

You're not supposed to use paperweights.

Obama on phone:

“Hey Putie, what can I do to improve my image with the people??”

Putie:

“Barack,I bared my chest, rode a horse, wrestled a tiger and taught Karate”

Obama:

“O.K. Thanks Putie. I will arrange a photo-op in a gym lifting weights!!!”

Putie:

“Sure. (A-hole)”
