Will Secret Obama Workout Tape Lead to Impeachment?

I first saw this at Hot Air, where
Allahpundit writes
:

As a confirmed beta male myself, I’m no position to judge —
although the eight thousand “Do you even lift, bro?” jokes on
Twitter today did make me giggle. Remember back in the summer of
2008, at the zenith of Obamamania, when a German reporter claimed
she watched him curl 32-kilogram,
a.k.a. 70-pound, dumbbells
? Either that was part of the
Hopenchange hype or he’s lost a lot of mass since, so much so that
this practically serves as a metaphor for how far he’s fallen.
Don’t be too judge-y, though: In his defense, he’s going to be 53
this year and has a job that keeps him pretty
busy, what with all the celebrity
dinners
 and golfing and horrendously bad prisoner swaps
and all.

I think Allahpundit’s main point—that the mere
existence of this sort of unflattering material is a marker of how
much the bloom is off the rose with regard to Lord Obama—is a sound
one.

I always find it disturbing when (mostly conservative)
commenters fixate on perceived masculinity as a major topic of
discussion (this is not what Allahpundit is doing here).
As with the
pajama boy reactions
, there’s a certain amount of
uncomfortable…latency that bleeds through such
commentary. 

But there’s a real question of whether Obama is sliding into

Carteresque “Killer Rabbit” territory
or H.W.
Bush-level “wimp factor”
or Mr.
Creosote-style vomiting
 (god, wouldn’t that be
AWESOME?). 

He’s had a string of really awful micro-fuckups and
mini-scandals of late and he’s already a lame duck long before his
last two years in office kick in. If Obama is feeling vulnerable to
charges that he’s not the he-man he once was, well, that might lead
him to overreact in ways that could be really bad for the U.S. and
whatever unfortunate countries he decides to bomb.
