Could have happened when he was bowing to every foriegn leader out here too.

“Might keep him and TOTUS off TV for a time.”

TOTUS can do the show without him. Obama was only used as the dummy.

Now Barry can award himself a Purple Heart!

The dude who threw the elbow is already under the bus, I’m guessing.

LOL...last Thanksgiving it was Tiger Woods.

Were they fly stitches?

No blood, no foul.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Does this mean that the presidential teleprompter gets more time off?

[Sacajaweau]

How the hell do you get hit in the lip?? I played for 30 years and never saw that type of injury.

Maybe he was “demonstrating” his edicted TSA pat-down technique and one of the real men let him know what he thought about it?

But yeah, its likely a front story for his wife beating him down, he was probably taking liberties with the 7-8 pies that Moochele had stashed in the frig and then she kicked his ass.

What Philadelphia game was that? 76’ers? Eagles with the dog killer QB?

Michelle told him to shut up, and he didn’t.

Good thing he’s out there playing basketball as war is shaping up on the Korean peninsula and China and Russia are playing economic hardball.

We don’t want him engaged in geopolitics, he’ll only make things worse.

[rdl6989]

That’s gonna leave a mark.

He’s should be thanking his lucky stars she didn’t pull his arms out of their sockets, as wookies are prone to do.

[coloradan]

Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. How did he do?

[jimpick]

Can’t they just display the teleprompter so I don’t have to look at him. I can read you know.
