I cringe everytime Obama runs down those steps when he exits his airplane

[Catherine Vincent]

Please be careful, President Obama. I am very big on safety (thanks to my job) and one must always use the handrail.

[BlooInBloo]

1. I don't. Cringing at every theoretical opportunity for harm is no way to live a life.

[firedupdem]

2. I never worry about him on those steps but when Mccain used to

try and trot a little I would cringe! I'm like hold it man....walk slooooow!

[cooolandrew]

3. To be fair has he had a mis-step yet, great things ahead it'll just take a bit of work.

[liberalmuse]

4. Just remind yourself, 'He's not W'.

He won't trip down the stairs, choke on a pretzel and pass out, nor will he be dropping the new puppy.

[Kali]

11. nor wipe out on his bicycle or a seque

ford was graceful compared to the blivet

[BumRushDaShow]

5. He's no Gerald Ford.

:rofl:

9. Yup. Obama played basketball in school and college, not football.

No frequent hits to the head to scramble the brains.

[SoxFan]

14. Ford was probably the best athlete ever to serve as president

A very good football player (played on the 1935 Collegiate All Star Team, and was offered a pro contract), coached boxing and cheerleading, was a pretty good golfer and an avid skiier. It's ironic that he came to be seen as a klutz.

16. You have to thank Chevy Chase and SNL for that one.

:P

Mr. Vail, CO never got any respect!

[liberal renegade]

17. he just couldn't walk and chew gum.

[Olney Blue]

6. He'll be OK, cat girl.

If not, I know how to do CPR. :)

[Catherine Vincent]

8. I'll bet you do!

:hi:

[ecstatic]

7. omg. He'd lose all his cool points if he stumbled

That would be horrible, plus he looks so cool coming off that plane.

[143tbone]

10. Oh damn! I don't have a TV so I've never seen him do this.

If anybody sees a video let me know.

[mokawanis]

12. I wish he'd use the handrail too n/t

[frogcycle]

13. I did that once, caught my heel, did a full somersault.

I think the pressure change had made me slightly lightheaded. Now I ALWAYS have a hand at the rail - don't necessarily touch it, but ready to grab.

15. It's a dangerous business, walking out your front door.

Trivia Game: Who said this? What Movie?

No Google!

[Downtown Hound]

18. American Beauty or Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

I think it's the latter.

[nyc 4 Biden]

19. Ding Ding Ding

Bilbo from Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

[Erin Elizabeth]

20. You're just used to a total idiot president

who couldn't walk without falling down.

[Clio the Leo]

21. You know how we all have those nitemares about falling? .....

... in mine, I'm falling down steps. Always wake up as i'm hitting the ground.

So yeah, I know what you mean. Like the footage of him and Hillary deplaning back in June or whenever it was. He's just talking and looking around all over the place! And I'm look "LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!!"

You and I must have seen the same clip because I had just been thinking about that.

Brave young man! Brave and true! ;)
