Obama hits head

Obama was walking into his personal helicopter, the Marine One, when he turned and waved to the presses and totally hit his head on the door!

Actually, the odd thing to me is that, when former president George Bush choked and fainted on a pretzel, the Hollywood machine cranked out piles of jokes - jokes like "President Bush got through the Super Bowl without event. The Secret Service pre-chewed his pretzels." That came from David Letterman, but every comedian took a turn bashing Bush.

Or how about back when president Gerald Ford slipped and fell while leaving Air Force One? That stuff was comedy gold, apparently. Comedian and actor Chevy Chase had a whole comedy skit about it involving nothing but slipping and falling.

But here, with Obama doing something as funny as the classic head-smack routine, I doubt it will even come up.
