Wishing you a speed recovery Mr. President and a triple double in your next game.
so back off at least He was out playing ball with family and friends.. what where yall doing? watching foot ball? sleeping? being a pain to someone.. He does what he can and he tries.. its better than what some have done.
Our prez is so cool. He's definitely not out shooting little birds that are tied to the ground like Darth Cheney does .
Dick Cheney is so cool,at least he wasnt out killing babies with a stroke of his abortion pen.
bx11- Um, yeah, because that's what I want in a President; the "Cool" factor.
Brett Favre always played better after a big hit.
Maybe now Mr President can join us in reality and start to lead this country.
You sound like one of the "Sarah Palin to the Rescue" bunch...
Yeah, because we know Palin live in reality. I mean she's got a reality show.
Right? @Rocketship
And whats wrong with Palin? She lives her life normally and doesn't get beat up when she tries to do it.
Yeah...you sound like you need to go stand right next to Sarah....up in North Korea.
The Miami Heat reference was a little obvious.
Thank God for free health care for all.
Wrong again. Study up dude!
Was he fouled by a right wing ?
the entire right wing is foul...
Aww. That's gotta hurt. Thank goodness it wasn't an ill-mannered lout on the street. Still sounds better than choking on a pretzel.
Choking on a pretzel....lol. I do remember that.
Boy, that must have made alot of Republicans happy!!!!!
I'm more likely to vote Republican and I disagree with almost every position taken by this president. That said, I'm happy and relieved that he wasn't seriously injured playing basketball. He's an intelligent man who generally sets a positive personal example and means well. I hope he has quit that dangerous smoking habit. He's the president and I respect him in his position as most Republicans and conservatives.
assuming they can read...
No, his getting elected did.
wow i feel sorry for him... hope he gets better
i think he needs better bodygaurds or something =/
He plays basketball he drinks beer I gotta say he sounds like your regular american not like the past ones who seem to want to hide their true selves he's a regular down to earth american that's all I got to say.
One word to sum this: "Priceless"
And "punctuation-less" 🙂
And this is newsworthy why?
Use some ALOE VERA GEL on your lip
MR.PRESIDENT it will
heal faster.
Be careful but I am glad that you can get a chance to have a little fun.
God Bless You.
very weird....
Oh yeah, Obama is reading your post right now. I'm sure he was on pins and needles waiting for your miracle cure advice.
And basketball can get physical. Folks need to get over themselves. The President will be OK
Get well soon and we pray for your speedy recovery!
