I’m sure you’ve heard the story by now, but you can find it here if your Black Friday shopping distracted you from the news of the day yesterday.
My first first thought when I saw this story was, “wow, you have to be a pretty brave person to throw an elbow at the President!” However, I now think that Rey Decerega, the elbower, must have a big brass set. Not only did he elbow Obama in the mouth, this was his response:
“I learned today the president is both a tough competitor and a good sport,” the statement said. “I enjoyed playing basketball with him this morning. I’m sure he’ll be back out on the court again soon.”
As Matt Drudge pointed out, he didn’t even bother to offer a public apology! That’s a vicious competitor right there!
