Unfortunately, no. 0bama has exempted himself and congress from having to endure their program. They have their own "special" program - for the elite. Us peasants are the only ones that have to endure the death panels.
I NEVER ride without one and it does not take speed to have an accident. I sincerely wish I had a picture of me when I had my bike standing still and turned the front wheel too far and down I went like the best of the 'prat-fall' comics. Funny now, but I fell HARD and the helmet saved at least a major bruise but probably more.
Having said this, when I see pictures like this of the President, my libertarian ideals and my experience war with each other. I do know one thing, that parents are the very best role models for their kids before they become 'too smart'. It is different to say "wear it because it is the law" versus "wear it because I do".
Hard to tell from photo but the 'fat' might be body armor and concealed communication equipment. Just speculating.
But that will save the public healthcare system money. Hence the need to wear the helmets.
I guess there is NO gray matter in there to protect.
OTOH, if his decision to not wear a helmet could result in my being subjected to the hell of President Joe Biden, then I think it is my right as a US citizen to tell Zero to wear a damn helmet!
...and body armor.
;^)
I won’t wear one either but I still intensely dislike the president.
LOL!
The bike helmet issue hasn’t swayed you to his side?

Point taken. ;)
You touch on why I think even the liberal press is fairly soft on Obama. I think of it as the Algore syndrome. That is, the republcans impeached Clinton but they did not throw him out of office, for the obvious reason. :)
GOOD! Obama and I are on the same page....He does not want to be “uncool”. As for me,although improbable, it is just one more way to expedite his trip to “room temperature”! Walk under ladders, adopt a black cat, take up sky diving, put alligators in the White House swimming pool, anything, JUST GO!
Crash and burn! You Marxist POS!
They have probably been corrupted by the evil SUVs which also flip over by themselves, as well as running over people and other cars. We should probably check to make sure the bikes haven't been influenced the the equally evil guns, too. We're gonna need another study...
Attack of the bed-wetters...
Have you priced the self-flipping option? They charge you a fortune for it.
He is already a burden on us.
