Obama col labbro rotto

12 punti per una gomitata in una partita di basket alla Casa Bianca, le foto

CAPTION ADDITION - INJURY
US President Barack Obama (R) walks to his car with Secret Service Agents after a game of basketball with friends and aides on November 26, 2010 at Fort McNair in Washington, DC. Obama is holding a piece of gauze to his lip after he was injured during the game. Obama got 12 stitches in his lip after the game with Reggie Love and members of his family. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gave the following statement: "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. They were done in the doctor's office located on the ground floor of the White House." The medical unit that treated Obama used a smaller filament than typically used, which increases the number of stitches but makes a tighter stitch and results in a smaller scar. Obama was given a local anesthetic while receiving the stitches. AFP PHOTO / TIM SLOAN (Photo credit should read TIM SLOAN/AFP/Getty Images)

Barack Obama è stato medicato alla Casa Bianca dopo un incidente durante una partita di basket con un gruppo di amici e familiari che lo avevano raggiunto per la festa del Ringraziamento: gli sono stati applicati 12 punti al labbro. Il portavoce Robert Gibbs ha comunicato che

“dopo essere stato inavvertitamente colpito al labbro dal gomito di un avversario durante una partita di basket con amici e familiari, il presidente si è fatto applicare 12 punti dall’Unità Medica della Casa Bianca”

La partita si era svolta alla base militare di Fort McNair, poco lontano, da cui Obama è rientrato per farsi medicare. “Il proprietario del gomito non è stato identificato”, riferisce il Washington Post.

Aggiornamento: è stato identificato. È Reynaldo Decerega del Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.
