Its an unwriten RULE, go eazy on our president when playing him in sports. The guy who elbowed him in the face must be a REPUBLICAN, LOL.l
Maybe they were playing under regular guy rules. Cheney should have tried that when he went shooting with cronies instead of making them fetch the birds while he shot. But then maybe not or we might not have Cheney any more.
Nice that he can just walk into a doctor's office while the rest of us have to wonder if we can get medical care at all.
The difference between you and the President, moron, is that Barack Obama is a somebody and you will ALWAYS be a wanna-be and a zero.
@ reality check.....tee-he-he
Exactly the point of all the wranglings of last year that some thought was a self inflicted attempt to hurt his own election prospect rather than a serious attempt at solving that problem for many.
Whatever you think of his actions in the oval office, you have to admit his commitment to staying down to earth and to his family despite his job is admirable
Some folks wound't give this man any praise even if he came to their town and did their work for them.
I guess we can now say for sure he has a fat lip
I imagine the Secret Service leapt into action, tackled the crazed elbow and wrestled it to the ground.
I love the word inadvertently. Wonder if the player who elbowed the President is inadvertently detained? When you play the game these types of elbows do come flying on at times. So Mr. President let's keep playing but be aware at all times of the flying elbow and I hope you rebound soon and once again are on top of your basketball game.
Get well soon.
that is not true at all.
I wonder if he was playing Dick Cheney.
Hillary..
c'mon CNN, we need a little more to go on than this: loose ball? going after a rebound? did he take a charge? did the other guy own up to the foul? what was the score? and most importantly, did he return to finish the game?
All you republicans are LOSERS. I bet you any money you LOSERS are going to elect Sarah Palin as your party leader too, like she even has a brain or knows anything about running country right? ha
tell 'em losers!
about as much as a freshman senator from Illinois does...
As long as Obama is in office we're all losers, you included. Only difference is that you don't see what's really happening.
these republicans losers are the same people who voted for palin.
She knows how to run straight to North Korea
WHO CARES?? IS THERE NOTHING MORE NEWSWORTHY THAN THIS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD?
HAAAAHHHHHAAAAAA.....HAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Amen to that.
I second that! 🙂
Shooting hoops on a work day? Nice gig, if you can get it.
Um....if you didn't know...this man is working 24/7. Or did you think the leader of the free world has weekend, nights and holidays off???
Are you sure it was a pretzel he was choking on?
