COS News Bites: President Obama Bloodied by Hispanic Caucus

Actual Mexicans

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the President received a dozen stitches after getting hit in a Friday morning basketball game. The hit came from Rey Decerega, who works for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.

According to White House aides, the President was in a defensive position when Decerega stood outside the 3 point perimeter and shouted, "I'll show you how we play back home." Actually he said, "Te voy a mostrar cómo jugamos en casa; te voy a sacar del juego" before driving through President, who wasn't completely set, for a hard layup.  Afterward he ran towards center court with his arms outstretched shouting "GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!" It is a good thing the president is a good sport, although his Spanish can use a little work.

Nearby the Hispanic Caucus were chanting:

"Que alegría, que alegría

olé olé olá

vamos Obama todavía

que estás para ganar.

Y cuando yo me muera

yo quiero mi cajón 

pintado rojo y blanco

como mi corazón

Que alegría, que alegría..."

Actual Spanish fans used a decidedly less maudlin chant: 

"Descubrimos el culo, ahora vamos a tomar..."

(we discovered your ass, now we are going to take it)
