President Obama Gets 12 Stitches After Being Elbowed at Pick-Up Basketball Game

inaPresident Obama gets 12 stitches after being "inadvertently" elbowed during pick-up basketball game at Fort McNair.

So, former President George W. Bush fell off his bike and I believe Bill Clinton also kissed the ground during his presidency, so it's not terribly surprising for President Obama to suffer a boo-boo on the basketball court. According to media reports, the White House said President Obama received 12 stitches in his lip after being hit during a pick up basketball game. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he was "inadvertently" struck by someone's elbow Friday. Er, was it really inadvertently or is a close friend or family member ticked off with him too? Well, I'm sure it wasn't done on purpose and the media will have a field day with the choice of words used by Robert Gibbs.
