President Barack Obama received 12 stitches Friday after being inadvertently hit with an opposing player's elbow in the lip while playing basketball with friends and family, according to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.
The stitches were administered by the White House Medical Unit.
The medical procedure was done in the doctor's office on the ground floor of the White House.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger! He'll need to toughen up for his next election cause its not going to be pretty!
If this happen to Bush, you all would be cheering.
Wrong again....if it had happen to Bush I'd be mad cause I wasn't the one that hit him.
Mr. President, I once had stiches, and in about 10 days they had a waxy feel and I removed them myself. Didn't feel a thing. Oh, don't forget to use aloe vera gel, cause it really does have healing properties. Get well soon Mr. President. LOL
He won't be able to smoke for a few days – better take a vacation.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...can't think of another person on the planet who deserved it more.
What they didn't tell you was that it was his wife..
He got shellacked...again...HA HA HA HA!
Glad he was playing with friends and family. If he was playing with political opponents, it could have gotten ugly.
And for the non-jocks, a busted lip in basketball is another day in the gym. Better than a sprained ankle.
No crutches, and you can still eat ice cream. Recommend against the popcorn or salt on the margarita glass rim.
Bush's fault.
Can't beleive he got him with an elbow. Couldn't he have used a baseball bat?
President Obama needs to practice his moves. He should call President Bush for pointers who made some fancy moves
against flying shoes
Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still ...well, you know.
Beauty, you've just given me reason to shut down. Thank you.
Back in the hood, me and my homie Obama used to play it like prison ball all the time. He's just gone soft, yo.
shut up
Was he on D? Or was he going up for a dunk and got elbowed on the way up?
the most Bush ever did was choke on a pretzel. Play hockey Prez.
correction Bush rode a bicycle and fell.... Bush suffered minor abrasions to his chin, upper lip, nose, right hand and both knees http://articles.cnn.com/2004-05-22/us/bush.fall_1_richard-tubb-trent-duffy-university-of-texas-graduation?_s=PM:US
Don't forget W. Bush was the Head Cheerleader in High School...
He also fell off a Segway. Dude had a talent for physical humor, come to think of it.
Looked like he was trying to 'palm' the ball with his lips, and like his politics, he missed...
We've started the ball rolling (no pun intended),
2012 we get our country (or what's left of it ) back.
who was he playing with Dick Chaney ?
