How would you respond if you elbowed the President of The United States — of all freaking people — in the face, prompting him or her to get stitches? If you’re Reynaldo Decerega, you post this on your respective website:
CHCI Director of Programs Rey Decerega may be known to the world as the man who accidentally elbowed President Obama in a pickup basketball game. At CHCI, he is known as a quiet and dedicated leader.”
For more than 20 years, "much more than an elbow" Decerega has coached b-ball for elementary and middle school-aged students in the Washington, D.C. metro area.
Decerega is not giving interviews.
Obama got 12 stitches in his lip on Friday after being hit in the mouth while shooting hoops with friends. He showed of his battle-wound in today's press conference announcing pay freezes for federal employees.

Nice to have a President who's not afraid to get in the game. NOW, GET BACK IN THERE!
12 stitches; either small stitches or inside lip as well. Wonder if he'll be advised not to have a cocktail at his "Happy Hour" meeting. Obama To Host White House "Happy Hour" For Lawmakers Voting On Stimulus Bill
It was an elbow to the face in a pickup basketball game, y'all. That happens in every gym in every neighborhood in the country. This was NOT, after all, live ammunition on a quail hunt with the Vice President and big donors...just sayin'.
