A White House household worker suffered an on-the-job injury Tuesday and may have lost some fingers.

"There was a minor injury with a member of the residence staff — an ambulance was called out of an abundance of caution," an administration official said.

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

A mere flesh wound. We are the knights that say, “Ne!”.

“There was a minor injury with a member of the residence staff — an ambulance was called out of an abundance of caution,”

I guess that all depends on whose ox is being gored.

[dfwgator]

I’ve had worse.

[combat_boots]

I wonder if 0bama chopped them off himself, mobster that he is? Sounds like somebody talked.

Poor person was probably shocky. Definitely life threatening.

[Vince Ferrer]

If they had an abundance of caution in the first place, those fingers would still be where they are supposed to be.

[citizencon]

The worker should sue the employer for unsafe working conditions.

[GreenAccord]

I wonder if he lost them using a Saw Alinsky?

Or maybe he got his hand caught in a defense cut?

I was thinking more that the White House has adopted some Yakuza traditions! Obama IS from the most corrupt city in the nation.

Life imitates art?

LOSING FINGERS is a "minor injury" and an ambulance for it is "an abundance of caution"? WTF?

This press release sounds like its bragging about a Sharia punishment - and threatening whoever else might dare cross the same line.

Will Baraq be fined by OHSHA?

No, Soetoro has exempted the White House from OSHA penalties -- this week.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Those were so bad they were great!

No more to be known about the incident???

A White House Staffer May Have His Fingers Amputated Because…?

Is President Obama going around the White House residence smashing staffers’ fingers because his sheets didn’t have proper hospital corners? The only correct answer can be “yes,” because will you just look at what happened today: “A member of the White House household staff suffered an on-the-job injury Tuesday and may have lost some fingers.”

The Washington Post originally reported the story, and was told by D.C. Fire/EMS spokesman Lon Walls that the staffer was facing the “possible amputation of one or two fingers” and “was taken to Washington Hospital Center with injuries that were classified as life-threatening.”

“Possible amputation of one or two fingers” … “injuries classified as life-threatening” … hmm… is something not squaring up? (Of course it’s terrible either way!)

But here’s the latest, the cover-up perhaps, from an Obama administration official: “There was a minor injury with a member of the residence staff – an ambulance was called out of an abundance of caution.”

What the hell?

A MINOR INJURY??????

Lost ‘one or two fingers’????

What would they call a MAJOR INJURY????

A rocket attack from Tehran????

[Salamander]

LOL

[pankot]

The One cost me a lot worse than two fingers!

[EDINVA]

So what’s losing a couple of fingers to this Administration? Minor injury! (long as they’re not YOUR fingers). Nothing compared to their taking an arm and a leg from everyone else, I guess.

Hate to be picky but I believe it is "Ni"
