Obama gets busted lip, stitches in basketball game

[thundley4]

President Barack Obama received 12 stitches Friday after being inadvertently hit with an opposing player's elbow in the lip while playing basketball with friends and family, according to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

The stitches were administered by the White House Medical Unit.

The medical procedure was done in the doctor's office located on the ground floor of the White House.

He needs to play with midgets next time.

With what is going on in North Korea and the clown has to take a morning to play basketball?
Now I know he can be acessed anytime but imagine if President Bush was as detached.

It gives a lot of credence to reports about how lazy and only interested in sports O is.

Was this procedure absolutely necessary and reviewed by a health panel first ?

If only! The politicians who forced the healthbill upon us deserve to get the same level of care. Sadly, health panels and rationing are only for us subjects.

Yep. We'd have been told to go home and put some ice on it.  Aw hell, that's what I would have done anyway, instead of going to a doctor. Obama's a wuss.

Don't worry, he will...

I dunno - 12 stitches doesn't sound like a paper cut to me.

You know, guys, this kind of thing - badmouthing Obama because he got an elbow in the chops - is a cheap shot. There are plenty of other things to bash him about, but this one isn't one of them.

Bring on the bitchslaps - I don't give a ****.

I won't BS you.  I'm nice.

It's not like getting elbowed in the lip is going to kill him.

They used what they called "micro stitches" or something. Their very small stitches that are used to prevent scarring, that would explain why 12 were needed.

That's true, but everybody knows that the president lives in a fishbowl. He farts, everybody knows it.

Now, I'll say in my next breath that when he smokes, nobody seems to know ANYTHING about that - which means the WH press corps covers that kind of shit up. THAT stuff IS newsworthy - not if he got busted in the chops while playing basketball.

And oh, btw - the president needs his exercise too. Every prez since probably FDR scheduled it right along with LBJ's conferences in the presidential bathroom.

I agree.

I don't really care if the guy was busted in the lip.  It isn't newsworthy material, considering there is so many more things the media should be covering on the Obama administration. 

It's like going on the TMZ website and seeing some of the stories there.  "Britney Spears goes out shopping."  Okay... who gives a rats ass?

OMG, she did !! When? Was there pictures?

If Obama loves basketball and golf so much, why don't he join the NBA and/or PGA. I mean they do have 40 something players I think.

Too white for one, too black for the other?

White NBA Player=Larry Bird
Black PGA Plauer=Tiger Woods

[rich_t]

I wonder if the Wookie gave him a smack down and they are just using the BB game as a cover story?

 

[thundley4]

White NBA Player=Larry Bird
Black PGA Plauer=Tiger Woods

Larry Byrd - long time retired.

Tiger Woods - does not claim to be black, but to be of a very large mix.

True, but they were very talented in their sports. Byrd made the Celtics a dynasty team. Woods looks Black despite being mixed race.

[cavegal]

I was right he was worried about a scar  

The pool adds: "The medical unit that treated Obama used a smaller filament than typically used, which increases the number of stitches but makes a tighter stitch and results in a smaller scar. Obama was given a local anesthetic while receiving the stitches."

it also says it was the 5th of 5 games.. good to know nothing else is going on in the WORLD, so he can play ball.

edit spelling

Yes it was, but it deserved a double post!

You know, guys, this kind of thing - badmouthing Obama because he got an elbow in the chops - is a cheap shot. There are plenty of other things to bash him about, but this one isn't one of them.

Bring on the bitchslaps - I don't give a ****.

After 8 years of Bush bashing, and outright character assassinations of Bush AND Palin, I have no freaking sympathy for the guy.

I certainly don't respect him. He hires 37 czars to govern for him (a job he is supposed to do!). A trio of bitty hens (his wife, mother in law, and a female adviser) make presidential decisions. And obama takes Chopper one to a military base to play basketball. He's golfed more that the previous THREE presidents combined. He spent the entire summer on various vacations. He wasted 10 days on the most expensive foreign trip in US history.

Obama does NOT want to be president. He certainly doesn't work at his job.

As for the whine about a cheap shot: too freaking bad. Obama isn't man enough to get my respect. He's a girly man. a woosie. a metro sexual. a pansy. But he's not a man.

and the bitch slap? Well, we aim to please.
