She's surely accepted the fact that this is what her guy does, he goes out and plays basketball. <br />Why is a basketball injury more distressing to you than a fall? Pres Clinton tore up his knee in fall in 1997, Justice Sonia Sotomayor broke her ankle in a fall on the way to her confirmation hearing, Secy State Hillary Clinton broke her elbow in a fall in the State Dept garage.<br />Walking is dangerous.Ellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-51535853207603782862010-11-30T06:43:30.193-06:002010-11-30T06:43:30.193-06:00Don't get mad at me for saying this, but the P...Don't get mad at me for saying this, but the President is a) just going thru classic mid-life male struggles to prove himself still powerful and virile (doubly intense because he would never have got anywhere near the kind of command appearance athletes he gets to play with now as the President, when he was young, because he wasn't a great athlete ever himself) and b) acting just like the white suburban rich kids in my local high school who hang longingly around the tough kids on the basketball court and get hurt when they join in the game. Perhaps he considers it a badge of honor, a proof of manhood to be hurt...<br /><br />Miaow, miaow, miaow...Retrieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036341287285545932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-432037382609988202010-11-29T11:23:28.537-06:002010-11-29T11:23:28.537-06:00I'm not exercised by this.

To me, the president's sports zealousness is a demonstration that he's a real person [which is probably one reason he does it in the public eye; it's the old "common touch"]. Taking lumps is part of that.The Rebbetzin's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977193945074906534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-3930895935978448482010-11-29T07:48:04.752-06:002010-11-29T07:48:04.752-06:00Our president likes to play basketball.

I know his lip hurts and I am sorry for his pain but it cannot compare to the pain of <br />what is constantly being said by evil people about him and his family.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-1888024871214313282010-11-28T23:47:16.141-06:002010-11-28T23:47:16.141-06:00I give no quarter on the court, be it president, p...I give no quarter on the court, be it president, prime minister or the Dalai Lama.

I mean...not great that he got injured, but great that it happened with something so...athletic and upbeat. Some might argue that he should be focusing on more important things, but I'm glad that he found some time to just play.porcini66https://www.blogger.com/profile/00547909036887434734noreply@blogger.com
