After seeing this workout, it has come to this great nation's attention that your workout plan is woefully inadequate. In order to made Presidential gains, we petition the President of the free world to begin the exercise program of the free world: Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe.

Theodore Roosevelt famously posited that a successful nation must speak softly, and carry a big stick. Indeed, Mr. Obama's military is mighty, but his guns are weak. I hope we can change this by getting the President on a strength program built for a President.

President Barack Obama, we plead with you, for the sake of the nation, and for the sake of your gains, to begin linearly progressing on the barbell squat, deadlift, bench press, and overhead press. You (and Michelle) will not regret it.

If this petiton gets 5,000 signatures, I will purchase a copy of Starting Strength for President Obama.
