… 12 stitches needed to close lip… wait… no… more information is now available… ok… he wasn’t working on the Korean crisis, or the unemployment problem, or the Afghanistan war, or the Israeli-Palestinian problem…
He was doing something else:
The White House says President Barack Obama has received 12 stitches in his lip after being hit during a pick up basketball game.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says the president was inadvertently struck by someone’s elbow Friday.
The president received the stitches in the doctor’s office on the ground floor of the White House. Obama had traveled to Fort McNair with a group of family and friends for an early morning game of basketball.
Hopefully he’ll be back on that basketball court again soon. Doing what… he was… elected… to do.
