Obama: I may have had a mild concussion
McClatchy Washington Bureau ^ | 5/29/2014 | Lesley Clark

President Barack Obama told a summit on avoiding sports-related concussions that he can relate: a few dings in the head during his brief football career might have led to a concussion or two.

“When I was young and played football briefly, there were a couple of times where I’m sure that that ringing sensation in my head and the need to sit down for a while might have been a mild concussion,” Obama said, adding that “at the time you didn’t think anything of it.”

It’s hard to believe he ever played football.

ROFL. Does anyone think this jug-eared wimp ever played football?

Tight end or nose guard. Or center.

At least the names fit. Maybe fullback?

He’s a pathological narcissist and a serial liar of the first order. Every issue he talks about is cast in a self-referential context. He is the center of his own universe, but people like that are fragile and don’t deal well with criticism.

IMO Obama will eventually have a psychological melt down triggered by a major political setback.

The rest of the story is, It was a video game of football and he banged his head from passing out after a load of nose candy.

To have a concussion, one must have a brain that was severely jarred. So, two things: one this guy has a pea brain and two he has never done anything hard in his life including sports. So, on the scale of 1 is true and 10 is BS, this is an 11.

From what?

Tripping on his limp-wrist?

Getting hit by his man-wife?

Accidently getting his head hit on a car door whilst going to pay his attornies to hide his records?

I really do not care anything about this autonomous piece of excrement.

He played in the gay sissy touch league. Got his concussion when he went down low.
