What else is weighing down the presidents shoulders?
President Obama is quite busy fulfilling his promises of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. Of course, the economy has been weighing him down lately as well. This stress, combined with some body style issues is enough to make his back ache too.
There are quite a few photos of President Obama standing so we can see his full posture, and do less guessing. Notice in all photos, his left foot appears to fall in and the right foot turns out. If you look at his right knee, that turns in and his right shoulder rolls forward. I know that the president loves basketball. Mr. President, have you ever had that Basketball game that your outside shot or your foul shot is always off? Your body style may be the reason.
The president likely drops his right hip as he walks which will tighten the muscle in his right hip and cause periodic pain in his left lower back and shoulder-blade. My guess is that, based on what I see here, he has low arches in his feet and requires foot orthotics (he likely has them, after all, he is the President and likely as the best medical advisers as well). He also likely gets left shoulder-blade tightness periodically and probably attributes this to stress (most people mistakenly do).
Eventually, I would love to speak with President Obama, if he is so inclined and find out if my analysis is correct.
Good luck on your reelection run, your Afghan troop withdrawal management and your efforts to stabilize our economy; you’ll need it!
Good luck on your presidential run, you’ll need it!
