Subject: Obama receives 12 stitches to lip

Mr Obama was seen nursing his injury through a window at the White House

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 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.

"The medical unit that treated Obama used a smaller filament than typically used, which increases the number of stitches but makes a tighter stitch and results in a smaller scar," added Mr Gibbs.

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 the thanksgiving 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.

The president has been a long time player of the sport, and has even been seen to take to the court with Cabinet members.

Warning: Cheap shot ahead.

Poor Obama. Because of that he had to postpone his quail hunt with Dick Cheney!

I for one think that it is ultra cool for our president to be out shooting hoops with his buds on Thanksgiving.  And its also cool that his pals don't just stand around and watch him dribble.  Real basketball, elbows and all.  :)

I wonder if O'bama has shot any hoops with Jordan, Pippen, or Rodman, from his hometown Chicago Bulls? ???

That's what Reagan's secret service detail used to do!

Anyone think the guy who 'accidentally' elbowed him was a Republican? ???
Let's hope this shuts up The American Idiot for a long while.

No way.  A Republican would have delivered an inadvertent knee to the 'nads.  ;D

I'm sure he's not at all what Green Day had in mind when they coined the term.
If you lived through the mid-90's, you'll understand when I say the liberal media people are Dangerous Morons, and that we can safely call Joe Biden Mr. Holland's Doofus!
