2. Those boys are ready to ball...

And so is our President.
Bill Maher used to plead "can we have a smart President? Can we have a cool President?"

3. Sounds like Reggie got hurt:

Then off to play ball: From the pool report--We spotted Reggie Love and a group of about five young men getting into one of the vans dressed like they're going out for a game of hoops.The motorcade headed down 17th St, siren-free, before arriving at a fitness center, where POTUS, wearing black sweatshirt, black sweatpants and Chicago White Sox baseball cap, also black, entered, with Love and the other guys. A WH staff person followed with a blue cooler. (1:12 p.m.)

POTUS is back at the White House after spending the afternoon shooting hoops with Reggie Love and a few others. Apparently Obama's team was victorious, winning 3 out of 5 games. Love, sporting a bandage under his chin, muttered that he might need stitches. (3:44 p.m.)
