Posted on July 8, 2011 at 8:29amYes, he’s good.
However wouldn’t he have had physiotherapy as part of his post-operation rehabilitation? That may have been the first time back at his local gym, but maybe not the first time he’s worked out since the leg was removed.

Now on to important matters: $20 says Boehner caves again, strikes a deal and ends up making Obama look good.
We’re screwed no matter how you slice it.
