Life is reportedly beautiful all the time when a Democrat is in the White House.
Nothing to see here, just possibly a couple of fingers.
Will Jay Leno or any of the other late night Hussein Head Hosts touch this one tonight?

Only staff at this White House would describe this as a ‘minor accident’. And no...I’m not reading any further.

After a call about what was described by D.C. Fire/EMS spokesman Lon Walls as a "possible amputation of one or two fingers," a man was taken, the man was taken to Washington Hospital Center as a "priority 1" patient, meaning that his condition was classified as life threatening. And the White House classifies this as a "minor injury"?

Clinton's people stole the "W" keys making it impossible for Bush's people to finger their keyboards.
Obama's staffers can't finger their keyboards because they don't have any keyboard fingers.

Obama's staffers can't finger their keyboards because they don't have any keyboard fingers. They were the fingers used for the "Bush's fault" macro. They weren't amputated but just broke off from overuse.

A minor injury?
yeesh...I can’t even trust the WH about the health and vital well being of its own people?

“What would they call a MAJOR INJURY????
A rocket attack from Tehran????”
Nope. A GOP victory in 2012.
