From the SI Article about the Chicago 2016 event:

Quote:
The first lady didn't return the kudos, describing the president's dabbling in some of the Olympic sports before the event.

"You should have seen the president in there fencing,'' she said to laughter, as Obama stuck out his arm in a mock fencing move. "It was pathetic. But he passed the baton really well.''

"Um, hello? Masks required!"

Not nearly as good as Migopod's caption. First thought along the lines of 'show me the FIE stamp on that.' but it wouldn't be required for domestic US event.

President Obama's toy sword melts as it hits fencer Tim Morehouse's fencing jacket. Yes, the fencing jacket that Mr. Morehouse has worn for the past 12 months non-stop while traveling over 12,000 miles across the U.S. and it hasn't been washed since Beijing.

It's a sabre, part of the guard is just behind Tim's thigh.

well since his citizenship hasnt been established yet, its still possible that it would need to be fie. maybe plastic swords are all they have in indonesia.

how is this for a caption: says obama: this IS an fie saber. joe wilson: you lie! tim: youre right, mr. wilson, but please be quiet or nancy pelosi will try to impeach you.

or: obama: this IS an fie saber. tim: no its not. obama: apologize! (stabs him)
