Luckily I missed that, but I completely agree with you. Every time I see those scam artists FAKE like they care about ANYTHING American or part of our culture....

Even the Grand Canyon trip was fake as could be. AS IF they would ever, ever, ever visit a gorgeous national park like that on their own (no cams, no PR, etc.).

Looks like he wants attention and sympathy in the window picture.

No ER I've ever been in has windows in it.

And even any regular doctor's offices don't leave their windows uncovered so pweople can see in. HIPAA and all that.

This is all just for show and sympathy.

How long did he wait to see the doctor?

Wait??? They'd have pushed someone out of the way to die if he came in like that.

(Just long enough to get the sympathy picture.)

Perhaps his vainity will keep him away from the camera and, mercifully, spare us that indignation for a week or two.

What the **** is this assclown doing playing hoops? Can he focus on stopping the NORKS? Or our border problem? Or the out of control TSA? Or the unemployment rate? Or the fast-coming tax increases? Or the creep of inflation? Or the gas prices? Or the Iranians?

On second thought, maybe he ought to just resign and let some adults handle the situation. He is better suited for games anyway.

12 stitches — that’s a pretty good hit!

What an awkward scene. Why didn’t their mother prepare them before they stepped out of the White House by telling them the sequence of events and what their role would be? She’s guiding them through it and they’re standing there like dunderheads. The older daughter didn’t even want to smell the tree! What kid doesn’t absolutely love the smell of a fresh Christmas tree?

If a military attache was making a report of current events in Mexico, China, and N Korea, and POTUS responded with some unpatriotic, treasonous, arrogant retort, and the military attache responded by popping him in the mouth, it would probably get reported just as this is being reported.

OTOH, had Obama been injured in a game of basketball, it probably would have been reported as a loose canon military attache popping Obama in the mouth.

I wonder which one it was.

Its a joke to have our president shucking and jiving around on a basketball court balling it up while the world around him goes to hell.

From the Guardian:

"The owner of the elbow has not yet been identified by the White House, although Nancy Pelosi is unlikely to be the culprit, being home in California.... The most bizarre response came from George Bush's former press secretary Ari Fleisher, who tweeted: "POTUS hurt playing hoops. Blames Chamber of Commerce." LOL

Lame Stream Reporter: "How did this incident happen, Mister President?"

Zero: "Some white guy I invited over to play acted stupidly and busted me one in the lip! I don't really think I'm doing THAT bad as president, am I? Whad'ya think?

Reporter: I'd rather not say, Mister president. I value my job. It's the only one I have and the economy and job hunt is not going very well...Uh, I better shut up, now...

“While Korea is about to blow up he plays games, what a dip sh**.”

Husseien, He’s hip, young and......hip.
What do you expect?
As long as his supporters, 26% of the population are happy he’s happy.
The rest of us are idiots, we just don’t understand he’s is formulating nuanced policy during his free throws.
