US President Barack Obama has been given 12 stitches after he was hit in the lip during a basketball game. Mr Obama was inadvertently struck by someone's elbow during the game on Friday morning, the White House said. The US president was treated in the doctor's office of the White House following the game at at Fort McNair, in Washington DC. Later, Mr Obama was seen at the White House holding what appeared to be an ice pack to his lip. "After being inadvertently hit with an opposing player's elbow in the lip ... the president received 12 stitches today, administered by the White House Medical Unit," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said in a statement. Mr Obama was given a local anaesthetic while receiving the stitches, he added. Mr Obama was playing basketball with his personal aide Reggie Love - who played basketball for Duke University - and other members of his family on what is a national holiday in United States. He was photographed in a grey T-shirt and jogging bottoms leaving the basketball facility, holding his bottom lip. A few hours later, reporters who had gathered on the White House driveway for the arrival of the Christmas Tree saw the president in an upstairs window, pressing what appeared to be a cold compress against his mouth.

Punk'd on his (illegally occupied) home turf.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. (Murron)

Reggie Love's short leg has an elbow?
So, Michelle almost coldcocked the potlicker and told him to grow a pair... {{{chuckle}}}
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
"Personal aide"????? Is that what they are calling it now?

Rey Decerega, who is the director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, issued this statement: "I learned today the president is both a tough competitor and a good sport. I enjoyed playing basketball with him this morning. I'm sure he'll be back out on the court again soon," Decerega said. Latinos seem upset that hObama hasn't pushed amnesty through yet. Race wars between blacks and hispanimals soon?

The man who (accidentally) elbowed President Obama in the face during a pick-up basketball game today -- requiring a dozen stitches to the presidential upper lip -- has come forward.
