Obama Admits He Once Broke Kid’s Arm During Tickle Incident

By Doug Powers  •  March 24, 2010 09:31 AM

In an Indonesian television interview, President Obama talked about the time he broke somebody’s arm after a tickling incident gone awry.

I assumed this occurred when Obama was trying to convince Eric Massa to vote for the health care bill, but no, this happened during Obama’s childhood.

The humerus story starts at approximately the 1:08 mark:

The kid in question who Obama speaks of is obviously still harboring hard feelings, because the child-Obama statue in Indonesia was recently vandalized, and I have a pretty good idea who did it:

    I am waiting for every town and city park to have Barry Peace Park with a statue of Fearless Leader clutching Rules for Radicals in his left arm as his right points into the distance. Cannot forget the adoring children kneeling at his feet gazing up at his glory.

    Wow…a child-Obama statue. Then again, does it matter whether anyone makes a graven image of this clown as a child or physically mature? The fact of the matter is that Barack Obama never grew up. When he wants something, he either gets it NOW or else the adults in the room suffer the consequences of his childish wrath.

    He seriously needs a time-out or a paddling (neither of which he obviously has EVER gotten in his entire life), but now he’s at a point where neither can be given, since the man-child Obama is now the most powerful man-child who has ever lived.

    bho is a sadist and possibly a psychopath.

    pg. 35 of “dreams of my father” Lolo Sotero wants Obama to see a chicken slaughtered so he “knoows where his dinner comes from” ………..“Later,lying alone beneath a mosquito net canopy, I listened to the crickets chirp under the moonlight and remembered the last twitch of life that I’d witnessed a few hours before. I could hardly believe my good fortune.”

    I thought it was really disturbing when I read it.

    Was Congressman Massa in on the tickling?

    Speaking of being tickled pink, I bet a lot of grade school educators had a rosy complexion when Biden dropped the f-bomb before their students on live tv.

    Surely he knew that this historic event was watched by classrooms across the nation.

    And wasn’t it nice of Press Sec Gibbs to back him up on Twitter – but I’m sure tweens never have access to such communication devices.

    It’s kids in the K-4 bloc that concerns me. They’re very perceptive and precocious at that age and have a good sense of right of wrong, but when they hear a new word – they use it, regardless of whether it’s acceptable or not.

    It was the wrong behavior for the VP to be modeling for school kids, and the WH should have known schools would be tuning in; how can we as teachers (I’m on personal leave right now, but will be heading back shortly) be expected to maintain classroom discipline and corrective behavior when the second most powerful man in our government goes on tv and swears before our students like a sailor?

    There are traits in children that can be identified as socially unacceptable behavior, but seldom can it be totally fixed. Jeffrey Dommer was another example – loved to kill small pets or something. Memory failing, not enough caffeine yet.

    24klady-

    i found it disturbing enough to highlight it in the book (during the campaign I was reading Dreams of My Father and Obamanation at the same time so I knew what J. Corsi was talking about)

    i think he’s mental! a narcissist! a megalomaniac!

    I also think it’s really hard to break someone’s arm by accident or not. if you listen carefully he says “it was great” then says something more appropriate but is smiling and laughing.

    I’ll bet that the child-Obama felt that the “tickle incident” was going against him, and he threw himself into a rage that ended in the other child’s broken limb. That is what Obama does when others do not fall into line, and I’ll bet that he’s been an insufferable bully his entire life.

    He seriously needs a beat-down that will teach him that he is not entitled to everything he wants, regardless of the office that has been bestowed upon him.

    When he says, ” I used to love Mahabharata” It sounds like he says, I used to love “Mohammed Atta”. Someone could use that sound bite for nefarious purposes. Just sayin’.

    Pres Obama did not confirm the tickling however he did add that bicycling was involved but he did bow to the reporter.

    OMIGOSH, he bowed to a reporter!

    Isn’t that worse than tickling a friend as a child and causing them to fall off of a bike over thirty years ago?

    Just another Pres Obama recreational fish story.
