Losing perspective

Why on earth is this NEWS?
How necessary. President bumps his head. So had Bush, apparently, towards the start of his presidency.
Turns out there is a video too.
Possible headlines that are repercussions of this event:
- President Obama bumps his head, sends America to war again
- President Obama bumps his head, helicopter dented
- President Obama bumps his head, needs to comb hair all over again
- President Obama bumps his head, secret service arrests helicopter
- President Obama bumps his head, president bumps head not
- President Obama bumps his head, so did Bush; similar presidencies forecasted
How is this relevant to anything at all? I know he is living the life of a goldfish in a fishbowl, completely in the eyes of the country. But bumping his head? Come on! It could be a part of The Daily Show or Late Night or even Saturday Night Live – but not CNN main news! Next we would know about when his dog poops and whether the secret service cleans up after the first dog.
It’s not even a slow news day, thanks to the bailout and stimulus plans being on everyone’s minds…
