A Lesson From Obama: Give the Gift of Health
It's often pointed out how fit and healthy President Barack Obama is — he plays basketball with a passion, goes to the gym six days a week, and when on vacation chooses to bodysurf over lounging on the beach. It was even reported that during his presidential campaign he hit the gym for 48 days in a row. In light of his struggle to kick a nicotine habit — something he says he is 95 percent cured of — Obama lives a pretty fitness-focused lifestyle.
Biggest Headline of 2009: Obamas in the Food World Spotlight

In last night's episode of Man Shops Globe, Keith Johnson traveled to South Africa, where he was on the hunt for not-so-typical African crafts.

This Just In: The Obamas Tune in to HGTV
Entertainment Weekly recently quizzed the two presidential hopefuls on their pop culture preferences and routines, and found that the Obama household favors HGTV when it comes to what's on the tube. Here's an excerpt from the interview:

Poll: Is Hillary Bullied?
Last week, the press was definitely quick to write Hillary Clinton's political obituary following her disappointing third-place finish in Iowa.
After her display of emotion, but before her comeback in New Hampshire, Hillary told Diane Sawyer:
"You know for both Sen. Edwards and Obama, they've been given pretty much a free ride and that's fine.
