— Open Blogger (Yes I can spell. I just can't see the damn screen.)
UPDATE: According to Li'l Bobby Gibbs it was an elbow to the face that did it. That would probably do more damage than a basketball.
Place your bets now as to how long it will take for some leftwing blogs to accuse the poor bastard that did this (who's probably one of Obama's best friends) of being a Republican plant and try to destroy the guy's life.
Original post below:
President Obama + Baseball Basketball = 12 stitches to lip.
That's all we know thus far.
(Thanks Mr. Dave (and 845 other people after him; geez, you guys are sticklers for facts and stuff) or actually reading the one-line article and correcting me. I'm in a greenhouse shopping for fake Christmas trees and woozy from the Benadryl.)

Weird -
This is in my local paper website (the one I call the Red Star Tribune, the one that has endorsed like the last 15 Democratic Governor candidates), but not on Drudge Report or Politico?

We already knew he was incompetent with a baseball.
Incompetent with a basketball -- well, I won't touch that with a six-foot pole.

I still want him to accept Scott Brown's daughter's throwdown. She basically, said, 'yeah, you, Obama. Me and my Dad -vs- you and whomever you pick'.

actually, not to defend him, but this probably has nothing to do w/him being a lousy basketball player. if he went for a rebound at the same time as another player, he probably got elbowed in the mouth.
damn, not I feel icky for even defending him.

WASHINGTON — 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.

Someone needs to teach Barky not to try to eat the basketball ... even if he's really hungry. Just because he watches Worf wolf down 5 basketballs at a time doesn't mean that he can do it, too.

No reason to feel bad. Accidents happen. I'm just really curious. That is alot of stitches for an elbow to the face though.
Anyone want to bet that this message is garbled? 1-2 stitches became 12.

B) He had a tumor in his mouth removed from smoking cigs all those years.Or
C) He puffed weed with Kal in the Situation Room and fell and hit his mouth.

My 3 year old son got lip stitches once because the cut would have pulled his lipline down. Try finding a pediatric plastic surgeon on a sunday. Anyway, no anesthesia and no straight jacket available so my husband held him...until the kid dislocated hubby shoulder. Then I did the holding. What a fine day.
Posted by: dagny at November 26, 2010 11:20 AM (Ulcs6)
I have no doubt that this is what they say it is.
It is interesting if you think about it though. Tiger Woods just one year ago to the day was in a similar incident. And that was reported as 'just a car accident'. And then the details emerged.

Young, eager campaign aides are stock characters in movies and on television, but few have quite the élan of Mr. Love, who, at 6-foot-5, is about three inches taller than the tall candidate, fitter than the fit candidate (he can bench press more than 350 pounds) and cooler than the cool candidate.
“There’s no doubt that Reggie is cooler than I am,” Mr. Obama said, laughing, in a phone interview. “I am living vicariously through Reggie.”
Mr. Love, who played football and basketball at Duke, usually starts the day with Mr. Obama with a dawn workout in the hotel gym. They end the day more than 15 hours later, often unwinding before bed by watching ESPN’s “SportsCenter” or that night’s big game. (Mr. Obama sometimes flosses his teeth to ESPN while lying down.)

Like about the accusations of the IRS being used to harass an organization whose policies aren't in line with those of the Obama Administration? And how Obama doesn't like being shown up by anyone? And how the star of White Men Can't Jump was recently handed a prison sentence for not paying his taxes?
