Even the president pumps iron at the hotel gym.

A fellow gym user snapped a few covert shots of President Obama lifting weights at a 5-star hotel in Warsaw, Poland – evidently without being seen by the president’s security team — then posted them on his Facebook page.

The leaked photos show Obama lifting dumbbells in a dark blue track suit and white t-shirt, surrounded by several people in the Marriott Hotel’s luxury gym. He spent around 30 minutes working out in the gym before heading back to his presidential suite, according to Central European News.

The photos were taken by Facebook user Jean Ekwa, who managed to take the shots on his cellphone.

Obama arrived in the Polish capital on Monday to begin his European tour.

Not only awful, but he looks like a wimp, grimacing while lifting those, what? 15 - 20 lb weights? :smokin:

Post by: EC on June 04, 2014, 07:16:35 pm: Sneaked in camera - yeah, right. As if his security detail is going to let anyone else in while the principal is working out. The other guys working out in the pictures are definitely Secret Service, probably the off duty team.

What a loser...

Post by: speekinout on June 04, 2014, 07:18:54 pm: It seems like his security team is falling down on the job a lot lately. First the Bergdahls in the Rose Garden, and now a stranger in a Polish gym. He probably didn't know anything about it until he read it in the newspaper.

And he looks every bit as good pumping that iron as he did riding his bicycle in mom jeans and a kiddy helmet.

Valerie is losing it. This stuff isn't endearing him to us at all.

(What's the smiley for total disgust?)

He appeared to be struggling even with the 5-pound dumbbells. :Odance:

Oh, c'mon, mountaineer. Give him a break.

Those weights are at least 8 pounders.
