After a rough game of hoops left him with a busted lip, President Barack Obama says his return to the basketball court was less traumatic because his opponents - his two young daughters - "took it easy on me." During a basketball game on Friday, a player accidentally elbowed Obama in the face, requiring the president to get 12 stitches to repair the resulting injury to his mouth.
But Obama reassured reporters he was mending well and that culprit Reynaldo Decerega, the director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, was not going to stop him.
