obama-book1President Barack Obama received 12 stitches in his lip after being hit during a pick up basketball game, the White House said today.

“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 received the stitches under local anesthesia in the doctor’s office on the ground floor White House after he returned home.

The president had traveled to nearby Fort McNair to indulge in one of his favorite athletic pursuits, basketball. It was a five-on-five contest involving family and friends and including Reggie Love, Obama’s personal assistant.

Obama emerged from the building after about 90 minutes of play, wearing short-sleeve T-shirt and gym pants, and was seen dabbing at his mouth with what appeared to be a wad of gauze. A few hours later, reporters who had gathered on the White House driveway saw the president in an upstairs window, pressing something white against his mouth.

  1. When will Matzav finally come to their senses and curb the avalanche of inappropriate comments in general and those showing disrespect to a sitting President in particular?

  2. Ouch! Did he take a foul-shot after that? Did he make the shot? These are BURNING ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO KNOW! WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT COVERING THIS UP?!

  3. We owe him no respect whatsoever. He is admittedly anti-Israel, willing to have direct talks with dictators like Ahmadinejad and Chavez, and is hated by Israelis for a very good reason. He may not even legitimately be able to serve as president under the constitution.
