The Prez got game

(Huff Post)
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs enlivened his daily press conference by showing reporters a blown up photo of President Obama blocking a shot by his bodyman Reggie Love during a basketball game.

The game happened in New York. Gibbs told the press corp that Obama related to him that:

"He had blocked several of Reggie's shots, including one that was photographed by Pete Souza [the official White House photographer]. There is now a very large print of that downstairs in the West Wing that the President asked Reggie to sign. And it is prominently displayed for both Reggie and, I think more importantly, the President's enjoyment as he walks to and from meetings."

As Gibbs held up the photo he read Love's message: "Mr. President, nice block. -Reggie Love"

One reporter yelled out that it looked like a foul. Later a slightly chagrined Love interrupted the press conference, to much laughter from reporters, to take back the photo.
