Obama shoots some hoops with daughters

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is sharing his love of the game of basketball with his children.

The first daughters, 8-year-old Sasha and 11-year-old Malia, spent about an hour and a half shooting hoops with their father Sunday morning at the Interior Department, just a few blocks from the White House.

A day earlier, the president and first lady Michelle Obama had watched Sasha play a basketball game at a community center in the Washington suburbs.
