Obama: I might have been concussed

[Robert A Cook PE]

But the only “football” he played was soccer!

He was NOT in AMERICA when he was at that age, and did NOT play football in Hawaii nor in the brief months in the northwest.

Only way he could have been concussed was getting his head banged up against the bedrails while in college playing wide receiver or tight end with his roommate!

[ConservingFreedom]

He took a blow to the head.

[longfellow]

Well if anyone complained about his head he made sure to kill those queers in his church.

[null and void]

Stick it to the man...

[BuddaBudd]

Was this lie in book too?

[Nachum]

Actually, there is a fair amount of head injury in Soccer.

[lakecumberlandvet]

It’s true. Zero played tight end. ‘Til he got loosened up.

[PenguinM]

That explains it all. And no, not in his book, ‘cause he forgot, due to the concussed state.

I rolled my eyes so hard, they were stuck up in my head for five minutes.

[Popman]

Wow....glad he cleared that up....

Can we move on to the more important stuff...like when he stubbed his big toe, had a bloody nose, had a nasty rash on his ass, and the plague of toe fungus.....

I might have been concussed

I doubt it because the one thing he needed most was a good hard slap upsida his head........hard enough to concuss him

[Jim from C-Town]

I agree. I think he is confusing the phrase ‘taking the ball in the backfield’ with ‘taking it in the backside’.

I am sure all the pounding of his head on the headboard gave him a concussion. But that is not nearly as bad as the gay bowel syndrome.

[Wicket]

So THAT’S the problem. Brain damage.

[peeps36]

I bet he was the goofy kid who showed up at the first practice wearing a jockstrap and cup on the outside if his pants.

[SoFloFreeper]

This recollection is an amalgam of all the times he played as a child.

[reagandemocrat]

Bingo. In Indonesia football means soccer. He concussed trying to hit the ball with his head.

[Talisker]

"When I was young and played football briefly, there were a couple times where I'm sure that that ringing sensation in my head and the needing to sit down for a while might have been a mild concussion, and at the time you didn't think anything of it," Obama said at a White House event designed to highlight the risks of sports-related brain injuries.

I guess "mild concussion" is Hawaiian for "massive brain surgery."

[Squeako]

Some other kids were playing “Smear the Queer” and just told him it was football when they smeared him.

[nascarnation]

Was that where the Soviets installed the control electronics?

[Arrowhead1952]

Did he read about it in the paper or was it on TV?

[Zuse]

Hey Soetoro!
In the United States it’s called “soccer.”
