The commander in chief has a sore throat, the White House says. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said that Obama’s doctor recommended he go to the hospital for tests, given that he had been complaining of the sore throat.

Obama spent just 28 minutes at the hospital.

“The quickly scheduled test is a matter of convenience for the President, not a matter of urgency,” the White House statement said.
