Yeah, but you probably aren’t a narcissistic dandy who had the stitches done by a plastic surgeon so the wound won’t show or leave the least little bit of a scar.

[presently no screen name]

Amazing no blood from a cut lip that needs 12 stitches caused by an elbow.

Looks like he wants attention and sympathy in the window picture. Also looks like he wishes he had a mother or father to talk to about now.

The boy is having big problems on the home front if you ask me. Really a thing one can suffer from.

Go wookie go!!! Here’s to you Mrs. Robinson.

Reagan got SHOT and I don’t think he made this big of a deal about it.

Reagan got shot and JOKED ABOUT IT! Then he prayed for Hinkly (according to "The Reagan Diaries)!

He was having a Basketball Jones.

“Amazing no blood from a cut lip that needs 12 stitches caused by an elbow.”

Or a drop on his shirt.

I’M DYING!!!!!!! CAN’T STOP LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!

NO MORE!!!!!!

STOP!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA AHA HA HA A HA

[WOBBLY BOB]

Still safer than playing football while skiing with the Kennedys.

Big Mo is not to be taken lightly.

[maggief]

Damsel in distress!

(That window image is a PR disaster.)

[presently no screen name]

staged.

[VRWCTexan]

Awww - COME on - give poor barry a break - it was rainy and he had nothing else to do all day! (sarc/off)

[Red6]

They didn't use an MRI or CT scan to see for anything else that could be there (unnecessary diagnostics that costs thousands), and I'm sure they used the more cost effective stitches and antibiotics. How long did he wait to see the doctor?

[Eroteme]

I’m guessing he put on a different shirt. Why would the parade him in front of photogs covered in blood?

For the same reason they placed him front of the window with an ice pack for the photographers. Sympathy.

[al baby]

So you like that 12 year old boy look, do ya ?

[Tennessee Nana]

The smacker must have had an eccounter with a TSA agent...

[pepperhead]

How the hell do you get hit in the lip?? I played for 30 years and never saw that type of injury.

0bama is probably used to everyone playing him real soft and letting him have his way. Think about how big his ego has to be after all this time of people letting him win all the time. As bad as he and his party has been doing in the polls he probably felt the need to get even more ego stroke and ran into a elbow to get a ball he should have just not bothered getting.

[Sequoyah101]

And no sweat, anywhere that can be seen.

HMMMMMMMM. I’d say I think there is a something in the woodpile but we have already confirmed that.

[Shimmer1]

Man, does this guy ever do anything but vacation and play???????

Reagan got SHOT and I don’t think he made this big of a deal about it.

Advisor: “It’s a cut lip, sir, put down the ice pack, get away from the window and go watch some TV. Here’s some ice cream!”

No kidding. Can't you just imagine Amadinejad, Little Kim, Putin, and Hu Jintao all looking at these pictures and laughing their asses off? Wonder what would shake them up more - pictures of Obama nursing his ice pack in the window, or video of Sarah Palin clubbing a halibut, ripping its living heart out, holding it in the palm of her hand to watch it beat, then casually tossing it overboard?
