Obama gets 12 stiches after 'elbow in the lip' (By Faezah)

US President Barack Obama had to get 12 stitches on his upper lip on Friday after being struck in the face by an elbow during a basketball game.

After being inadvertently hit with an opposing player's elbow in the lip while playing basketball with friends and family, the president received 12 stitches. 
Obama was given local anesthetic during the treatment, and he was given a smaller filament that increases the  number of stitches to ensure a smaller scar.

President Obama was playing defence in the fifth of five games at a gym in Fort McNair military base in Washington when Decerega went to take a shot and accidentally hit the president in the mouth by   Rey Decerega a ( programme director at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute).

 For President Obama  birthday this year he traded passes and scuffles at the White House with a number of the game's current greats, including Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James of the Miami Heat, and former NBA star Earvin "Magic" Johnson.

The article appeals to me because Obama is a renowned President across the whole world.

I would like to ask, what other types of game is President Obama interested in?

If i am in charge of the situation, I would join President Obama in playing Basketball because it is a one life time opportunity to play games with the President.
