Haha, looks like Obama puts more passion into basketball than politics!

So we have sunken to a new low of finding humor in the injury of someone else because of their political affiliations?

I am going to take a guess that this guy who accidentally hurt the President will become a right-wing celebrity. This is just sad to hear about on ATS that people just keep tumbling down the cliff of ignorance, stupidity, and partisan idiocy.

Do I even want to know what would happen if the President had a heart attack or stroke? There would probably be celebrations in the street performed by such immature and heartless people such as this OP.

Kind of like the constant jokes about Cheney and his heart issue that was the center of every joke for years??

It has nothing to do with political affiliation. It's funny because it's the Messiah!

Wow, sure if funny how all of a sudden people get super serious when their Messiah gets a little boo boo on his lip.

Here is another picture:
Still waiting for the video. Why do I think if this happened to Bush the video would be out already.

Your making humanity fail.

I am not understanding this illogical post. We are supposed to find this humorous because our President is beloved by some segment of the population which you apparently despise?

I’m sorry but I don’t think it’s funny, I don’t like Obama’s politics, and he is not my ‘Messiah’ as you put it. He is our President however and a human being with feelings. You think his daughters want to see their father injured? I don’t think it is funny and I pity those who do.

Am I supposed to care what other buffoons had to say about Cheney? I didn’t laugh about his heart problems and I don’t find that something even remotely humorous. Stop the whole “he started it” sort of kindergarten immature statements.

Here is some video.
It's raw video after the event. Still waiting for some footage of the actual incident.

If i say Lol, will i get a knock on my door?

I will probably be audited this year.

I want to know why the online news organizations say "URGENT - Obama injured during a basketball game'. What's with the 'urgent' thing? It's absurd. URGENT or BREAKING NEWS should be for something like a major tsunami or a terrorist attack ... not because Obamas lips got in the way of someones elbow during a basketball game ... or whatever.

I mean, like, OMG!!!!!!

Finally proof of Barrys' true African birth! I mean, like, why ELSE would he be playing a spirited game of "african round ball" the day after Thanksgiving instead of using the Secret Service to jump the line at a Black Friday sales event like a REAL American???

/sarcasm off

He'll be fine.. he's a big boy. It really is funny how such insignificant things are centered on.. Obamas busted lip and Palin's goof between N and S koreas. I think she is a moron,but Im pretty sure that was a simple slip of the tongue.SHe has a habit of it. 12 stitches is quite a bust though.. teeth probably went through his lip requiring inner and outer stitches. Im assuming this wasnt just him free throwing.

I guess one day youll have a president like me.. you could really get some laughs. Last week I broke my toe.. hubby and I had a disagreement and I stomped off like a 3 yr old down the stairs yelling something stupid, slipped, fell and broke my toe. Of course I yelled at him and it was all his fault. Thats probably why my first ugly thought was that Michelle smacked him.

Oh no, someone got hurt and there are people in the world that find it funny when people get hurt. Deal with that instead of having to pity people for being themselves. He probably laughed, too, after all was said and done.

I wonder if he made the shot while he got fouled? AND1
Did he tough it out long enough to shoot his freethrow, or did he quit after contact?

Sounds to me like a prime opportunity for another useless taxpayer-funded Czar position for one of Obama's buds: The Czar for Prevention of Presidential Sports Injuries.

Agreed.
All of a sudden people here are acting all serious like this was some sort of a life threatening injury.
It has to be because their savior received a little boo boo on his lip.
Don't you dare laugh at Obama!!

... No one was acting like that. People were saying "So what?" "How is this funny?" No one was saying "Oh my god this is serious don't laugh" they were saying "how is his pain funny?"

Seriously this is the most inane thread I have ever seen and I feel bad for contributing to it... Three times, even. Yeeeeesh.

Demands of being PC are too close to group-think to me.
I dont ridicule people in general and certainly not due to belief or political party, but the fact that this was put out as URGENT is laughable in itself. Im not an Obama fan, but for Gods sake.. does the guy get to use the bathroom without the obsessed fans needing to know? He is a leader in political office.. not a star on a reality show.
One glaring mistake that he made, and I bet he will never make it again, was even allowing the "worship", being thin skinned in public, and not squashing the idea of is messiah-ism This opened him up to a lot of grief.. and a lot of intrusion.. that is unnecessary and pretty weird! I feel pretty sorry for his girls and hope they can be insulated from the weirdos. They seem to be doing an okay job so far. He's just a guy.. he is going to make mistakes, bust a lip, get sick, act goofy, whatever. Not every burp and hiccup should be treated as an urgent message to his followers. That kind of thing is just weird and really does invite ridicule.

Remember that song by In Living Color called Cult of Personalty?
