White House: Obama Needs 12 Stitches after Being Hit in Lip During Basketball Game

President Barack Obama received 12 stitches in his lip after being hit during a pick up basketball game, the White House said on Friday.

"After being inadvertently hit with an opposing player's elbow in the lip while playing basketball with friends and family, the president received 12 stitches today administered by the White House Medical Unit," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said, according to NBC News.

Gibbs did not release the names of the people playing with the president.

Obama had traveled to Fort McNair with a group of family and friends for an early morning game of basketball.

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

Most considerate to have you reply and is most appreciated. :-) I’ve gotten lots of grief for posting stuff that had previously been posted despite several FR searches resulting in no returns.

And nothing more was ever said about that (the AF 1 fantasy flight over NYC) either.

I’ve said now for some time that the and the wookie are having problems. The picture of he and chewy in New Orleans in the rain is a classic look by a wife that hates him. He has all the characteristics of a husband under fire in addition to being an inept impostor. Moochie has him under her thumb and is just trying to figure out how to get the most mileage out of the whole affair. She doesn’t want to leave the whitey hut and mother robinson is keeping the position alive as well.

We’ll never know the truth about any of this until sometime in 2013... national security interests and all that stuff you know. The SS take their jobs seriously, the Clintoon presidency was almost light and air tight as well.

I could almost feel sorry for dumbo... NAAAAAH JUST KIDDIN’! I can’t wait to see what moochie does next. It’ll take a lot of bags of popcorn to cover the sideshow entertainment in the next two years... I sure hope so.

it's a good thing he didn't need 12 stiches after playing Hockey with a member of the 'oppressive race'.

The Attorney General and Homeland Security Secretary would have had him scanned and subpoenaed though not necessarily in that order.

“The president is a sports fan, roots for his hometown Chicago teams...”

Yeah, he was once quoted as loving the games he went to at Kaminsky Park.

Sarah Palin played basketball when she was younger. So, WWSD?
