Chicago — The warning came too late for Barack Obama's adviser: Don't walk and text at the same time.

Obama aide Valerie Jarrett fell off a Chicago curb several weeks ago while her thumbs were flying on her Blackberry.

wake-up call for me to be a lot more careful in the future, because I clearly wasn't paying attention and I should have."

Jarrett got off easy and didn't need medical attention.

Physicians warns of the danger of more serious accidents involving oblivious texters. The ER doctors cite rising reports from doctors around the country of injuries involving text-messaging pedestrians, bicyclists, Rollerbladers, even motorists.

Ok this is a story that is suppose to be about a health hazzard. You know walking, driving, etc while texting. But the AP and the AJC are so in love with obama they had to tie in his staff to this article. Oh now we can credit obama and his staff for saving us from texting accidents.

I just knew all those dipshits I see “texting” while driving were democrats. What an airheaded practice, this neurotic need to be constantly “in touch”.

“now we can credit obama and his staff for saving us from texting accidents.”

I took it to show just how idiotic Obama and his staff really are these days. Most sane folks with even a hint of common sense would know that you don’t look down and try to type while you are walking.

So the moral of the story? Obama and his advisers are not sane and don’t have a lick of common sense.

You know what the dems say we have to have someone to tell us what to do because we are so dumb. (sarc)
It seems that a person should know that doing those things while texting would be dangerous but I guess since lord obama hasn't told us we just didn't know.

Sounds like you hit the nail on the head. Hope you were not trying to text and hit your finger first. ha!ha!

Can we expect weekly safety briefings from Obama?

Week one: Topic-Wear eye protection when checking your tire pressure.

Dimocrats who used to think they could walk and chew gum at the same time are now causing accidents right and left.

Great for the population control movement.

I wonder what Obama’s position is on texting while properly inflating your tires is?

I have seen several police officers driving while typing on the cruiser’s laptop, not watching the road.

Hey if we have a text walking contest on Nov 1st and only allow obama supporters to participate. That should cut down on the number of legal and illegal votes he gets on the 4th.
You know hurt in the hospital, no vote.

maybe an IQ test before they get the device.

Now that is scary. I know of at least 3 people, young and old that have been killed in car accidents due to texting while driving.
