\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>President Barak Obama made a surprise visit to the Stapleton firehouse two weeks ago while in Denver. He originally planned on a simple morning workout, but decided to spend the day with the firemen. The day began with Obama showing up at about 6:30AM when Obama decided to lead the workout for the fireman. \u201cIt was probably the hardest workout I have ever been through,\u201d said fireman James Barry. \u201cIt was a mix of a boot camp, P90X, and CrossFit. He called it \u2018Domination Obamanation.\u2019 I am still sore.\u201d President Obama says that he takes his workouts very seriously. \u201cThe American people should know that I am always working hard for them. Whether it is in the White House, on a diplomatic mission, or in the gym.\u201d\n\nAfter talking with the men and women of the Stapleton Firehouse #26, the President decided he wanted to stay for the afternoon to experience the day in the life of a fireman. \u201cLike most people, when I was a kid I wanted to be a fireman,\u201d said Obama. \u201cThings didn\u2019t work out, and I ended up being The President. Being the President is a lot like being a fireman in that you are always trying to put out fires. The only difference is, as a fireman, you don\u2019t have a republican congress pouring gas on the fire while you are trying to extinguish it.\u201d\nThe fireman took the President on their morning visit to Starbucks. \u201cI probably caught them on an unusually easy day<\/a>. It was great to get to know the great men and women, but there wasn\u2019t a whole lot to do.\u201d After the Starbucks trip, the group headed back to the fire station to shoot some hoops. The President took a brief tour of the facilities, and then took off to King Soopers with the fireman to do some shopping. \u201cI had heard bad things about this particular grocery store, but I was pretty impressed,\u201d said the President. \u201cNot a bad grocery store at all.\u201d\nThe only call the fire department received while Obama was there was in regards to a neighbor entering the wrong code into someone\u2019s security system when they went to borrow eggs. \u201cI decided to pass on the call, but let the fireman know how much I appreciated their time,\u201d the President said. The firefighters had a great time as well. \u201cThis was an experience of a lifetime,\u201d said fireman Barry.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
