Obama suffers basketball injury; Gets 12 stitches
   
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101126/ap_on_re_us/us_obam...

The White House says President Barack Obama has received 12 stitches in his lip after being hit during a pick up basketball game.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says the president was inadvertently struck by someone's elbow Friday.

The president received the stitches in the doctor's office on the ground floor of the White House. Obama had traveled to Fort McNair with a group of family and friends for an early morning game of basketball.

Obama is a sports fan, roots for his hometown Chicago teams and has often gone golfing in addition to playing basketball.

What kind of idiot gets hurt like that by just playing basketball? he must have been drunk.
Or maybe he had too much coke and I don't mean cola beforehand.

No I don't believe any of that I'm  just imitating the DUmmies when Bush fell of the segway.

My son said they refuse to name the person who gave obama the elbow, because if they did that person would instantly become a National Hero.

I'll bet whomever did it feels really badly. Can you imagine being responsible for 12 stitches to Potus? I hope he is better for Christmas! And the WH Christmas parties!
Yeah, me too.  :whatever: :whatever:

When I saw this on the national news I was thinking of the poor bastard that did it to him. Can you imagine the secret service and their reaction? POTUS is bleeding!!! Shoot the guy!!!

Then we got 12 stitches in his lip. Wow. First thing I thought was big lips... except he ain't got big lips. Must have been one hell of an elbow! I'd have figured if there was gonna be 12 stitches involved it would have to have been one of his ears.  :-)

Correct me if I'm wrong...but didn't they have an indoor court built at the WH so the President could play ball?

If that's the case then why was he playing on the ratty court they have at Ft. McNair?

*dons tinfoil hat*  makes you wonder which of his friends couldn't get cleard through WH security.  :fuelfire:

That's easy.

ALL OF THEM!

Also makes you wonder, was it REALLY someone's elbow, or a certain first lady's right jab?   ::)

Ain't far enough for him and the first Wookie.

JR, you're supposed to capitalize "first" in "First Wookie." :tongue:

The guy that elbowed the Obamessiah?  It's in the third paragraph . . .

I'm sure he's got one or two already lined up. Basketball and vacations, that's all the work being done in the White House.

The White House did not initially name the person who caused the injury, but identified him later Friday as Rey Decerega, director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.

So this was a gang warning that he needs to push harder for immigration reform.  :fuelfire:

Showed his busted lip on TV this morning....what a damn cry baby.
It was almost nothing...I couldn't see where in the world the doctor put 12 stitches....must have sewed the fly on his underwear shut because he didn't need it.
