Obama gets 12 stitches after being elbowed in basketball match | US President Barack Obama has received 12 stitches in the lip after being elbowed in a basketball match. And the man who is responsible is named Rey Decerega, the director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute,
the White House said. "I learned today the president is both a tough competitor
and a good sport," the Politico quoted Decerega as saying in a statement. "I enjoyed
playing basketball with him this morning. I'm sure he'll be back out on the court
again soon." Decerega "turned into POTUS, who was playing defense, to take a shot
when the elbow hit the President in the mouth," the White House said. The pool
added, "The medical unit that treated Obama used a smaller filament than typically
used, which increases the number of stitches but makes a tighter stitch and results
in a smaller scar. Obama was given a local anesthetic while receiving the stitches."
