No snark: it is a man-killing job, Democratic or Republican. My rule of thumb is that being President effectively ages you 2.5 years for every one, and with Obama it’s showing.
Not to give the President any unsolicited advice or anything, but: more basketball, less golf. Seriously. George W. Bush did a lot of running to keep the stress down and the heart-rate up; I don’t know if basketball is worse, better, or as good as an alternative to running, but it’s got to be better cardio than golf is.

He could just resign. That would be good for his health and the country.
More basketball, more golf, more running, more biking, more time with the family, more vacations, basically more of everything else because it’s better for the country.
There’s a word for that, and the word is “balls”.
How old was Reagan? And after eight years in office he looked better than Carter did.
No, it isn’t an easy job, but it’s clearly doable if you aren’t trying to push America and Americans the way they don’t want to go. Suits me fine if Barry-O goes out on a stretcher from the heart attack.

Wouldn’t Ric’s scenario be an interesting wild card?
Can you imagine Joe Biden in the White House? Can you imagine Joe Biden as a candidate in the 2012 election? And can you imagine — God help us all — Joe Biden winning?
