Obama Needs Stitches After Being Hurt During Basketball Game

Sometimes a shot to the jaw or lip knocks sense into people. Here's to that optimistic view.

On another note - 12 stitches? It must have been a fairly long cut, probably around 1 inch or so I'm guessing. I had 5 stitches in my thumb not too long ago and that cut was only 1/2 to 3/4 long but very deep.
 
I haven't turned on the news to see if he is on.. but I wonder how bad he is going to look. I remember when Bush choked on that pretzel and his face was a mess. I know it's really bad to laugh about it, but at least he joked about it himself so I feel better.

I just can't imagine losing a president to a pretzel..

I think these are some photos of Obama..

It does look painful. It must be hard eating.. and I can't imagine what the person feels like who jacked him up. How embarrassing.

"I busted the president's lip and sent him to the hospital."
 
So will there be an outcry because he got special fiber stitches instead of what the rest of us usually get?
 
There must have been a conspiracy. Only 12 stitches? If so, then the quality of thos stitches must have been Urolithium-based; which is an illegal alloy from South Korea. If so then the president must surely be corrupt.

He is the best and deserves the best!!!! He doesn't qualify for Obamacare.

I feel sorry for him!! He won't be able to eat those BIG hamburgers and fries.
 
It would have taken less stitches if they hadn't used a finer filiment to reduce scarring. Why wouldn't they use that for everyone? How expensive could a little piece of thread and a few more stitches be? Not trying to start anything. Just asking.
 
To those who are laughing or handing out sarcasm at an incident where someone got hurt. You people make me sick. :(

I think a good long stare in the mirror is in order.

The doctor usually leaves that up to the patient. There is no cost differential.
 
Recent presidents have had a number of medical scares...

  • George W. Bush choked on a pretzel and briefly lost consciousness, falling and hurting his head.
  • Bill Clinton had surgery and used crutches for months for a torn tendon in his knee when he stumbled on steps at the Florida home of golf pro Greg Norman.
  • The elder Bush, George H.W. Bush, was hospitalized for an erratic heartbeat while jogging at Camp David, a problem later diagnosed as a thyroid ailment. The senior Bush also collapsed at a state dinner in Tokyo, which the White House blamed on an intestinal flu.
  • Jimmy Carter fainted briefly while jogging near Camp David.


Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest in a 1981 assassination attempt.


I find it oddly amusing that both Bush's, Carter, and Clinton all had relatively minor medical issues deemed 'scares'... while it took a bullet to bring Dutch down.

Would you please scold those who made these comments on DP when Cheney was hospitalized?
Thanks in advance.

Man I didn't realize there were still biological components left to his heart
Dude's basically Devil Incarnate but get better Mister Vice President.

I wish him well....gotta keep him in shape for Nuremberg



Please get well soon Dick. We'll have the water tank and towel ready.
 
My brother in law was playing basketball and somebody ran into him and knocked his knee cap out of place.. it was so gross. He had to have surgery and wear a steel brace for a month.

Having stitches in the mouth does suck.. I have had them, and I couldn't talk or eat right for a while, but it could have been worse.

I would have been funnier if Obama hurt somebody else on the court instead.. maybe a white guy. Ohh lawdy Glenn Beck polish your Jeremiah Wright chalkboard conspiracy magnet and get on your soapbox. Obama is just trying to destroy Amerika and has a deep seated hatred of white people like usual.
 
At least he didn't go hunting with Dick Cheney! :mrgreen:
 
I'm sure Obama is used to getting his ass kicked, by now. This is minor, compared to the embaressment he's going to experience in 2012.

You haven't been paying much attention. Have you? No surprise, since you ain't even from here.

I was really waiting for you to say that.

I never, ever want to hear again "You're not from here so you can't say ****". That is such a load of hypocritical Cum Custard, but then again I wouldn't expect anything less from you. So it's not ok for me to talk about you, but you certainly don't mind talking about the European Communist republic of the European Union, which you know OH SO MUCH ABOUT!

I follow your own news probably more then you and most Americans do, I find it fascinating.

All I meant to say was, don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Alot can change in 2 years...

I love when Libbos get all upset about their boy getting picked on.

First of all Not Liberal.

Secondly you know I critisize him when he ****s up.

If the Republican party put someone up who was a Conservative moderate, had some good ideas and good positions, I'd support him.

But just because in other threads I don't wanna support Palin, doesn't mean I'm Anti-Conservative. Your mistake there buddy.

Kind of feel sorry for him. He gets a shellacking, then he gets his mouth busted, now he's in for another shellacking.
