Philly, meet local performer Stepp Stewart (pictured). Stepp, meet President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama:

This morning, I was late! I was gonna be on the treadmill (at the Philadelphia Sports Club on Hamilton Street) by 6. It’s more like 6:30.
I run. I’m done. I go to the shower, get all cleaned up and I’m just about to put my lotion on and I hear a rumor that someone is coming. Obama! And he’s gonna be here in 30 minutes!
Girl, I put my sweat-drenched, funky-smellin’ clothes right back on, got right back on the floor and started fakin’ a workout!
All the sudden, people are eyeballing the door. Here comes the secret service.Then here comes Barack, walking up with a baseball cap on. He stops at the front desk. All the sudden, there’s a line of people.
But here I was, sitting on a spin bike that was broken! It’s a prop. But it’s right by the door. I am faking it again, so I can have a good spot at the door!
I get off the bike. He looks me dead in the eye.
He shook my hand. I held onto it as long as I could.
HIS HANDS WERE SOFT AS BUTTER!

Consider us now officially in love with two health-conscious black men.
