Preventitive health care is the answer to most of our problems. Once again I ask, where is the equivalent of Kennedy's "50 mile hike" in Obama's plan? Where is the hard push to get communities involved in physical fitness. Can anyone name the Chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness? It would be tough, because, as far as I can tell, he/she hasn't been named. Can the Vice Chairman do it? Well, if there was one. fitness.gov I may be out of date on this one, but I haven't seen any notice of anyone even trying to head this effort. And, please, no more druggies. Yes, it's hard to name a pro athlete who is, for certain, not a doper. But you don't have to go with obvious druggies like Ahnold or Lance Armstrong or the boorish brat who won all the swimming medals, Phelps. I don't care if you have to name a chess player or a poker player, if that's the only sober person around. But somebody should be pushing this effort.
