"After being inadvertently hit with an opposing player's elbow in the lip while playing basketball with friends and family, the President received 12 stitches today administered by the White House Medical Unit. They were done in the doctor's office located on the ground floor of the White House."

Wow must have been a hard hit. Probably a safer hobby than going hunting with Cheney though.

Ouchies.

Well Bush crashed his bicycle twice, fell off his Segway, and hit his head after he passed out from choking on a pretzel.

all I have to say is


GOOD!

[nobody's_hero]

Awesome. White House Medical Unit? Every household gets one of those with Obamacare passing, right?

Honestly writing a bunch of "funny comments" cause Obama took an elbow in a basketball game is quite unproductive. I hope we're better than Eagles fans

Agreed on the first part, but BOOOOOOO on the second part! I'm an Eagles fan, and you are buying into the media hype. Yes, segments of our fanbase have done terrible things, but the scrutiny of those events are magnified to ridiculous degrees compared to the actions of fanbases from other teams.

The player that threw the elbow was immediately executed by the secret service.

There's more to life than productivity.

Man that sucks.

[amy31416]

I made fun of Bush for choking on a pretzel, it only seems fair....

[jclay2]

Its the least this guy deserves for systematically ripping apart the country through healthcare, bailouts, huge deficits, uncontrolled wars, and financial "reform". Man I would love to play basketball against the president. He probably couldn't box out to save his life. Seriously did anyone see this guy throw a baseball?

Gerald Ford had some golfing accidents, Bill Clinton fell through his podium, Bush Sr. puked at a state dinner in Japan, William Howard Taft got stuck in his bathtub, and Barack Obama got smacked in the lip during a basketball game.

There isn't anything wrong with having a good laugh at the President's expense, and of course his political enemies will laugh harder.

That's precisely the point - Eagles fans are remembered for the minority of assholes who poked fun at a dude who got injured AKA the same as this thread.

He is attempting to humanize himself to the American public.
