Obamas Cheer on Oregon State at Howard U
ABC News' Political Punch ^ | November 27, 2010 | Jake Tapper and Tahman Bradley

The first family stepped away from the White House today to catch some college basketball at Howard University. First Lady Michelle Obama’s brother, Craig Robinson, the head coach of the Oregon State men’s basketball team, was in town for the matchup against HU.

This was the president’s first public appearance since catching an elbow in the mouth during a basketball game. The White House now says that President Obama injured his lower lip. The White House originally told reporters the president got 12 stitches to his upper lip.

The Obamas arrived to an enthusiastic but sparse crowd at Howard. President Obama, the first lady, daughters Sasha and Malia, and Marian Robinson sat next to Craig Robinson’s wife behind the Oregon State bench. The first daughters wore orange in a show of support for the Oregon State Beavers.

Obama’s lip seemed a little sore, he had tiny white stitches. But that didn’t stop him from downing some popcorn at halftime....

Gee.... when are they not “stepping away”????

And more drama over his teeny injury, WAAAAAA. But that didn’t stop him from downing more food, even though MO says “dessert is not a right” and other things about our food habits.

Obongo's presidency is nothing but a "get all he can while the gettins good" job. When not he's not playing or eating out or vacationing on the taxpayers' dime, he's doing his best to wreck the nation and enslave us all to his communist handlers.

The presidency is nothing but one continuous bongo party for the fraud from Kenya.

I am sorry, but how in the hell can they report yesterday that he had 12 stitches to his UPPER lip and tell us today ‘OOPS’ it was the lower lip.

Do they lie about everything?

And they wonder why the cynicism is so high.

He left the gym, went home and was treated at the WH.

Can’t Baghdad Bob even get that right?

Isn’t it about time for the next muslim “holy” day where he has to drop off the map to hide his devout observance?

Please?

Yea! Oregon was going to dump the Idiot Coach, until Education Secretary flew out to Oregon last year and gave $20 Million of Our Tax Dollars to the University after which they mysteriously decided to keep the incompetent Coach and Brother of Michelle the Wonkette on for another few years of Affirmative Alleged Coaching of the Oregon B-Ball Team! Anybody checked their WIN RECORD for this Year? Howard is sure NOT a Powerhouse and it sounds like Oregon got Slaughtered!

There’s whining and blame-shifting. Those take up a lot of time.

First Lady Michelle Obama’s brother, Craig Robinson, the head coach of the Oregon State men’s basketball team.

At least one person in Mooch-elles’ family works for a living.

Didn't you read the article? All they had to do was play a song with the hook "My President is black" and all those skulls full of mush were just as happy as they could be.

I'd doubt you'd find a half-dozen people on the Howard campus that were concerned about much of anything past the color of his skin.

Uhhh, Oregon is the “Ducks” and they did get crushed today by Duke. Oregon St., the “Beavers”, have Michelle’s brother as their head coach and they beat Howard by 10.

Oh yeah, and Obama is a douche.

Howard is an historically black university and the crowd grew especially excited when a song with the hook "my president is black" was played on the loud system.

Just puke!!!

"The Obamas arrived to an enthusiastic but sparse crowd at Howard."

Make him a helluva good job in a couple years when he loses the one he has now.
