Obama gets 12 stitches in his lip

[~~whimsy~~]

President Barack Obama needed 12 stitches in his lip after taking an errant elbow during a pickup basketball game Friday with a group of family and friends visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday, the White House said.

Press secretary Robert Gibbs said in a statement that Obama was inadvertently struck by an elbow. The elbow's owner wasn't identified.

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 who played at Duke University.

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 for the arrival of the Christmas Tree saw the president in an upstairs window, pressing something white against his mouth.

"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," Gibbs said.

I remember when George W. Bush told amputated and mutilated soldiers at Bethesda that a scratch on him from clearing brush was "a wound" as well. I suspect President Obama won't be comparing his 12 stitches to war wounds anytime soon like the so called great Bush did.

You know that's too tame for Faux. Of course he was fighting with one of his crack buddies then the crack pipe broke and cut his lip.

Maybe the O man needs a "Rip" Hamilton styled face mask when he goes down low.

I will say this cover story stinks!! And is most certainly worse than the one came up with about GWB (landing face first off the sofa after passing out from swallowing a pretzel the wrong way...).

Well at least he can lie about being in the wars now :1orglaugh

The Fox Hayride just can't contain their glee over Obama's stitches. You know they all wish they were the one to deliver the elbow drop. Fags.

Fox News do not always make up the news. The Fox News' web site posted an Onion satire as news.

Really? Window sympathy??

We have an accord that "suggests" that media withholds images of vets who come home missing limbs, skin and jaws, but Obama will sit in a fucking window after an owie??

We're no longer an international leader, but at least we're an international joke.

America; we can bomb you to smithereens, but don't expect us to triumph over b-ball games or pretzels!

Wait! Wait! Wait! Aren't black people supposed to be really good at basketball? And Obama obviously isn't . . . interesting, no? If this doesn't convince you that he's a gay Islamo-Communist paedophile I don't know what will. I mean, it's obvious!

At this point all I can do is laugh at the lot of you. We in the truth movement have been warning you for months about this and you ignorant fools just wouldn't listen. Now look at your God! Huh? A broken beaten worthless sack of amputated monkey scrotum's! Hopefully now you've learnt your lesson.... but I doubt it. I mean you haven't done so the last twenty times you've been lied to so why should the truly enlightened minds of this world trust your feeble little minds now? From JFK to the moon landings you've proven yourselves completely incompetent so I'm sure you'll just carry on believing what daddy government force feeds you.

We pity the lot of you, we truly do...

The sad thing is, I'm sure this supposed family member - who is a true American hero by the way, don't forget that - was sent immediately to one of NObama's self styled FEMA camps where they're being molested mercilessly by AIDS infested Deep Space Nine enthusiasts.

What a cunt.

Pfft! That's what they want you to think.

Free your mind before it's too late brother. Let the love surround and enter your soul, otherwise all is lost and to lose a mind as fresh and beautiful as yours would be a real shame.
