It’s been a rough month.
First he lost 63 radical lackeys in the US House.
Now this.
Ouch!

(CNN)
Obama suffered a busted lip today during a basketball game.
Chron.com reported:
The White House says President Barack Obama has received 12 stitches in his lip after being hit during a pick up basketball game.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says the president was inadvertently struck by someone’s elbow Friday.
The president received the stitches in the doctor’s office on the ground floor of the White House. Obama had traveled to Fort McNair with a group of family and friends for an early morning game of basketball.

Wow! A swift elbow to the face by one of our military men in a pick up basketball game. I wonder how that could have happened?

Probably a Tea Partier!!

Here’s hoping that Sarah Palin and her Fish club was no where near our dear leader when he got hurt

Oh come on. We all know Michelle smacked him down for sneaking an extra piece of pie.

Did the Secret Service shoot the miscreant, or quietly give him a cash bonus? (*grin*)
Auntie Em commented:
I have dreamt of popping that guy in the mouth. I’d like to shake the hand of the one who did; seems like they did a really good job.
Hopefully, we’ll not be seeing him for a while.

Who ever that was is my hero. He did what America has been wanting to do to that scum for the last 2 years.

I feel bad for liking this. I think mainly it’s because he’s always playing, while the rest of us are not. He’s like our national Spoiled Child.
Andreas K. commented:
12 stitches? I once got a soccer ball right into my face. On a penalty shot. That means a ball with full force, all the weight and strength of the other player put into it. Damn it hurt. I actually saw stars for a second or two. Looked like Mike Tyson on a bad day afterwards. Didn’t need any stitches though, even though I was bleeding.
Obama is a wuss.

Bassetball Jones, I got a Bassetball Jones
Got a Bassetball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo
Yes, I am the victim of a Bassetball Jones
Ever since I was a little baby, I always be dribblin’
In fac’, I was de baddest dribbler in the whole neighborhood
Then one day, my mama bought me a bassetball
And I loved that bassetball
I took that bassetball with me everywhere I went
That bassetball was like a bassetball to me
I even put that bassetball underneath my pillow
Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep at night
I need help, ladies and gentlemens
I need someone to stand beside me
I need, I need someone to set a pick for me at the free-throw line of life
Someone I can pass to
Someone to hit the open man on the give-and-go
And not end up in the popcorn machine
So cheerleaders, help me out
{cheerleaders sing repeatedly…}
(Bassetball Jones, I got a Basetball Jones)
(I got a sasketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo)
Random Thoughts commented:
Andreas K, his teeth probably cut into his lip (had that happen to myself once as the result of an accident), thus the need for stitches. I agree with pamlinson though.
Hopefully this means Obama won’t be speaking in public for awhile, and we’ll have some respite from his inane proclamations.
retire05 commented:
Does that mean now that the arrogant punk (did you see him with the turkey on the White House lawn? He looked like he was fixin’ to pet a mountain lion) has a busted lip, that we won’t see him on TV for a couple of days?
One can only hope.
Bunni commented:
Well, well, you have to watch out for those “sharp elbows”, don’t you barry.
I know I shouldn’t, but this has me LOL! Maybe he’ll stay off the telly for several days, one can only hope. Comment #2, We can only pray….great comment, as are all the funny ones.
Enjoy your shopping, and watch out for crazed moonbat libtards at the mall, it’s a jungle out there.
Coastal commented:
So now we know he is cold blooded, there is NO BLOOD on that shirt, (changed it before pictures could be taken?)
Ginger commented:
Hurry some one get the DNA from the floor!
Ginger commented:
I hope that the scar is on the out side of his lip because if he does have a double (twin) as I suspect it will then be hard to pass off the other! Why am I so gleeful?
Coastal commented:
Ginger! I was thinking the same thing! Somebody grab the DNA shirt!!

You have no choice is the commander in chief. Go jump over a cliff. YouwiL get an extreme make over.

With it happening on a military base and since this is as close to combat as he is ever going to be, how much you want to bet he awards himself a Bronze Star?
Ginger commented:
Hey clive
He may be your commander in chief but he is NOT mine he is a FRAUD!
Ginger commented:
How far is Fort McNair from the white house? Reggie Love was with him. Plus family and friens Gibbs said but would not give other names. Maybe he and his other half had a spat and I do not mean the moose! hmmmm

Whatsa matter Clive — they won’t let you back in the airport — again?!

I wonder if the will put a Band-aid on his teleprompter too? Will he request a Purple Heart, Silver Star,and Combat Infantryman Badge?
Joel commented:
COOL! KEEP ON GETTING SMACKED! NOT MY FAULT, YOU ****.
Randall R. Kniess commented:
Hey Clive, is that what happened to you? Keep drinking the cool aid. Maybe when you hit the floor you can get 12 stitches and look just like your massa!

As my old man used to say, “Now you got a fat lip to match the rest of your head!” I think alBama sould rest up until the new Congress comes in!
Alana commented:
I want to elaborate about the Spoiled Child thing I said earlier.
It’s hard to articulate what I mean. But with my children, I liked them to have a balanced life, which included ample recreation time, plenty of sleep, spiritual and academic development, family time, and unstructured down time. I never liked the idea of children having mini-adult lives – living only for school, for instance, or only for gymnastics, or whatever. Leads to burn-out too soon, and doesn’t provide a healthy, appropriately care-free and exploratory childhood.
So to me it looks like someone is running Obama’s life like you would a child’s. You wouldn’t want him to get too focused on any one obsession (like the presidency), or miss any sleep, or not get his extracurricular activities.
Kind of as if – it doesn’t matter what is happening in the world; it is important that the child (in this case Obama) gets his beauty sleep and his recreation and extracurricular activities. (Although, even my children didn’t get as much recreation and vacation as he does.)
And it’s like we are all supposed to UNDERSTAND that. We’re supposed to understand that it doesn’t matter what our problems are, or what is going on in the world, because our top priority is supposed to be that Obama has a well-rounded childhood that is as problem-free as possible.
And if he can’t have a wonderful childhood in the Presidency, because the job is too hard, well, then, we’re supposed to allow him to appoint not only all the czars he’s appointed to do different aspects of the work, but now also an “executive czar” to do what work still remains to him.
So that . . . he can have the sufficient rest, down time, recreational activities, vacations, etc., that he needs for his proper development.
It’s like we are all raising the President. It’s like his well-being (which is very high-maintenance compared to most adults) is supposed to be our most important consideration.
It’s like having a child at the helm of the country.

Now that one side of his mouth is stiched up,
Obama will have to speak from just one side of his mouth

Probably a soon-to-be-ex Congressman. A lot of possible suspects on that list.
JAY commented:
As the last Democrat President said, “You might want to put a little ice in that.”
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Alana, great comment.
Yeah, I guess “it takes a village” to raise a child-President.
At least he’s almost past the terrible twos, to say nothing of potty training. The kid s*at all over EVERYTHING in the house, didn’t he? Hopefully that was just a “phase”. Now it’s time for the temper tantrum phase, wherein the kid tries to break everything in the house, since he can’t get his way.

Compare Obama at the window after his injury, to the photo of another recent president after his injury.

pamlinson commented:
Too bad the doc didn’t stitch his mouth shut so we wouldn’t have to listen to his incredibly irritating voice.
Gini commented:
Clive – You didn’t extend much sympathy yourself.
12 stiches for a split lip? That must have been one fat and well aimed elbow.
The Watcher commented:
Associated Press interviewed TOTUS after the accident; TOTUS said, ‘What’s the big deal; it’s not like he ever spoke for himself before.’
AuntieMadder commented:
Whenever my siblings or I would get canker sores or fever blisters our stepmother would say “That’s what happens when you tell lies.” Prezdint Jackass’ lip was busted so badly that it required 12 stitches. I know without asking her exactly what she’s got to say about that.

I didn’t realize Dick Cheney played basketball.
Iconoclast commented:
Just a happy day dream here . . . .
If the animated Teleprompter were to take an elbow to the mouth on a semi-monthly basis, it would not be talking, immediately reducing noise pollution & hot C02.
If the opportunity to be the person attached to the elbow was awarded as a raffle prize with tickets at $100 each, by the time zero left office, we’d have recovered much of what it has wasted on bailouts, “stimulus,” etc. We might even have a budget surplus. And for a grand finale, all previous entries would have a chance to be the last elbow – encased in a custom-formed spiked steel ball to ensure the blessed silence would run to the end of its days, unlike yellow jimmuh piddle pants has been for thirty years, babbling trash at its betters.
Ginger commented:
Taqiyotomist …you ask if he ever got hurt before. He has a large foot ball shape scar on the right side of his head! They must use make up on it now to cover it up. Haven’t seen it for a while. Maybe his double has it! hahahaha
antilbr commented:
I was there i heard the whole thing……He would’nt give Moochelle a dollar for some chips out of the vending machine,sea biscuit stormed the court screaming with a clenched fist “they’ll be sewing your lip up at the hospital,well before your ass gets there “.

None more deserving of stitches! All praise to allah, right Barry?

So is this the 2010 version of Tiger Woods thanksgiving? Fat butt Michelle probably attacked him. There are plenty of golf clubs around.

wouldn’t that qualify him for the purple heart – atleast in the john kerry school of thought.
Barbara commented:
the hopes and wishes of millions of americans went with that elbow. but, i jest….
RedBeard commented:
If this had happened to someone who was not trying to destroy my country, I would have some sympathy to offer. But it didn’t, so I don’t.
SM-IL commented:
Sounds like the Tiger Woods spin after wifey tuned him up w/ golf club. Barry forgot to duck when Moochelle laid into him. They deserve each other! Hope she kicks him around some more!

Now it all makes sense.
This guy just delivered message to Obama , from Calderon :
” Quit reporting the drug violence in mehico and get amnesty done already”
Lets see how the kneepads media starts its lobbying for amnesty on Monday.

All this crap is going on in the world and Obama is playing sports?
So why does Obama getting 12 stitches and a fat lip leave a smile on my face…..bwhahahahaha. I’m just laughing with him, not at him…..bwhahahaha.

Unexpectedly — LOL
donh commented:
Excellant post #25. The serious problems the world is facing and all Obama does is goof around on the basketball court. I wonder if someone in the CIA security detail told a player to elbow Obama in hopes of knocking some sense into him and send a much needed message, the same message God sent when his seal fell off the podium. This is really pathetic when a President loses his own pick up basketball game. That is like playing solitair, cheating your own card dealing, and still losing.
RSweeney commented:
Surely this demonstration of manhood will cower Kim Jung Il and his idiot son into submission.
Barry has shown them just how tough he is.

That wasn’t an elbow, that was a reality check.
Militant Conservative commented:
You telling me the president has even fatter lips? Is this possible????
Marsh commented:
I like how the leftist media gushes over how good he is at basketball. He really isn’t. Not that it matters really. But still. It just creeps me out how the left worships him. I’ve never seen that before in a Western country. That kind of thing is usually displayed in fascist 3rd world and socialist countries.
jimg commented:
“I like how the leftist media gushes over how good he is at basketball. He really isn’t. ”
No kidding.
Having watched a bit on video (mostly from his campaign stops), he’s not particularly fast, he dribbles too high and his shot is extremely slow to get off. It’s more important for him to look ‘cool’ when playing then having any actual game.
I’m in my mid-40s and my ‘air’ is long gone, but I’d drill that clown. He wouldn’t last a game in any serious beer or church league.
ogee commented:
I don’t believe it’s from an elbow on the basketball court. I think someone punched him because he is so annoying.
What’s a grown man of 50 years old doing playing ball?
He is so immature.
Sad, sad times for America to have this boob at the helm.
So who punched him?
