EXCERPTS
Pool arrived at Fort McNair at 9:21 a.m. Your pooler did not see the president as he exited. Am told by White House staff that Reggie Love is playing basketball with the POTUS today - that's the only name your pooler has so far. No sign of any NBA all stars this time.

Motorcade departed Fort McNair at 11:18 a.m. Arrived at the White House at 11:35 a.m.
As we drove through the National Mall, your pooler could see a crowd of about 100-200 on the Capitol steps to the right and small groups to the left setting up for a lacrosse game on the Mall. Neither appeared to take any notice of the motorcade. Further along Pennsylvania Avenue, Tea Party members lined the road for at least three to four blocks, including at the gates to the grounds, holding signs and yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flags. A few hoots and hollers, as well as some waving of hands and flags was observed. Additionally, several in the crowd were observed clapping as the motorcade passed.
Signs observed included "We the people, not we the government," and various reminders that there's an election coming up in November.

Why don’t they just hang a hoop on the Oval door and give him a nerf ball?
It’d be easier...
And appropriate.
I thought the WH had a basketball court.
You said it. They stink on ice...
I agree-—he is starting to look seriously ill.
AIDS?
He does look pathetic and too thin. I think this is getting to him. He was told he would be the most historic, beloved President ever, and for a month or two, it seemed pretty true.
He was told that America wanted socialism, and the press would be behind him 100%. He could still play lots of golf, basketball, and “pocket pool” whenever he wanted. Arugula every night, ice cream every afternoon, world travel, bowing to everyone... It all sounded so GOOD.
What happened???
Laugh you bastard. You want be laughing when Republicans win in November. Your sorry lying ass will be crying to the ‘press’.

Good idea!
"BRAAACK!"
And then there's the great old joke from the Reagan era...
"Pres. Reagan's new program to cure black unemployment...50,000 teams in the NBA.."
Holy Koran he looks awful. And out of it. All that's missing is the Howard Hughes beard (had he sufficient testosterone to grow one) and Kleenex boxes on his feet.
I never thought I'd even think to ask such a question about an American President but, seriously, is he smokin' crack?
No need. Unfortunately. Now he's in a position to Goddamn America during the week.
He’s on something. His speeches are very bad and his timing very slow.
Hoping they would drive off into the Potomac.
Therefore, if he was on something prescribed, it would most likely be anti-depressants. (Depression being far and away the most common mental illness, and since this is treatable and often self-limiting, I can image a whitehouse doctor keeping it provisionally secret, at least for a time.) But do any of those make you lose weight?
Ergo, admittedly placing my conclusion at the end of a shaky chain of assumptions, but I'd think NOT prescribed.
I think depression causes a weight loss, as there is NO desire to eat.
