By Daily Mail Reporter Sasha Obama has arrived in China with an unusual accessory: a thumb brace. The 12-year-old was seen wearing a brace on her right hand that only covered her thumb when she de-planed in Beijing on Thursday. Calls to the White House about the cause of her injury were not immediately returned, but given the Obama girls' love of sports, an athletic accident could be a likely explanation.
