PRESIDENT Obama suffered injuries while playing a “friendly” game of basketball at the White House on November 26. An elbow to the face resulted in 12 stitches (缝线) to the president’s lower lip (嘴唇). The man who elbowed the president, Rey Decerega, didn’t apologize and said that Mr Obama is “tough” on the court. Everyone said being president would be a hard job, but nobody knew that blood would have to be shed (流出).
