Timing is everything and so is perception. With the US Congress against the wall to secure a deal in the current financial bailout crisis, one of the presidential candidates might have considered a more discreet way to train. Certainly not a big deal at all and while not newsworthy, may be noteworthy.

From Politico:

Obama: In town, working out
Obama, headphones, baseball hat, hitting the gym. Spotted working out this a.m. at the Washington Sports Club, near Adams Morgan/Kalorama, from 7:30a - 8:20a.

Stay tuned for more gym/Obama news…

The comments here, as usual are entertaining, depending of course, what you find entertaining!

Back in July, while on the campaign trail, Obama hit three gyms in one day for a total of 188 minutes. This just gave me a great idea. If Obama becomes president maybe he will back a bailout for my gym, Met-Rx!

We need an advocate for gyms in the Oval Office!
