It's just one thing after another with this clown. Counting the days until we get him shipped back to Chicago – unfortunately, it's just too long to wait.
One thing after another? The man can't play a game of basketball? There's always a chance that someone gets hurt during close proximity physical activity.
Have you ever picked up a basketball before and played a fun 2v2 before? Sure as hell doesnt sound like it.
Chicago? err..I thought he was from kenya
Oh I'm sorry, did I bust your freaking lip....It was an accident..Honest..LOL.
So sad the state of political discourse (or lack thereof) in the USA. That a simple article about the President catching an elbow in a basketball game can generate so much mindless babble, mudslinging, and just utter nonsense. Pathetic.
Yeeeh right lol.Just think if U had to suffer a dictatership,overwhelming taxes ,liberal bias and no job.
lucien: if you are in America, you are fortunate that you do not have a dictator or high taxes relative to the rest of the Western World. And as for the strong conservative bias in this country, I do not consider that fortunate.
But you should be awful glad you live in a country where you can air your bitter feelings about the government so freely. As conservatives reminded us so often during the Bush years, if you don't like the country you should just leave...
That's because you Lefties are good teachers.
i think it great that we can post in any fashion without chance for censorship. i think it's great that we chat about OUR President. 310 million strong–and we all come from different walks of life. to borrow a lyrical measure: coal-burnin' stove–no natural gas; and if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass.
You outta seen the other guy.
Probably looks a lot more like his voting base now with that fat lip.
How did you know? I'm a white middle aged male who is part of his voting base, and earlier this week I actually did bash my lip - so it has swollen a little. Almost ironic...
Get help. Please. For the sake of people who actually have to live with you.
Mark Allgood is a no-good racist.
Vdanker,
hillarious.
I love that my president is human. and has some real fun....
Bush had fun, too... I think. Didn't he spend all that time at his ranch doing something or other? And Clinton loved to jog to McDonalds...
@Edwin
I seem to remember Clinton's sport of choice wasn't ONLY jogging to McDonalds. Lips were involved but they weren't his LMAO!! Oh, but I'm sure you'll have an excuse for him, right???
Obama Basketball Policy has had the air-let-out as reported by CNN...
What team is he own, WallStreet or MSNBC Mika
ObamaCare heal Thy Self.
Bush League is Tough..
ignorance at its best....and only from the relagated to a lower life: republiCONS
Nice to have an athletic President again.
@John: Sooo, athletes do not smoke or drink? Welcome to Earth, you have to be new here.
Hey, I wonder if we all get the in house medical team with Obama's health care??
No, just the rich and important people.
This happend to my son in his junior year while playing basket ball in highschool but worse...a players elbow landed on his front tooth $4000.00-$5000.00, years later he got a metal post with a tooth. Hope the President heals soon. as a mother i was scared to see the blood and tooth just haning out! not a pretty sight..
People who actually exercise more than their typing fingers and mouth play games like bas-ket-ball and catch a bow in the chops once in a while. Maybe he should have shot a friend in the face with a shotgun, that would meet more people's approval.
Did he raise his hand and call "foul?" Hope not, "Foul guy" is a the tool no one ever wants to play pickup hoops with..
Ouch!! Rightwing elbows flying finally landed appropriately. He's exempt from Obamacare though?? Wish he got the same great healthcare that he is forcing upon all Americans! I thought the founding fathers stated that what is good for one, is good for all – including those writing the laws??
another moron speaks.....and his name is Evenrude1
