Yesterday, at the major league all star game President Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Now politically this doesn’t matter much but for a president who has carefully crafted his image, especially as a sports enthusiast, it’s worth noting that President Obama is not much of a baseball player. He pushed the ball rather than throwing it like a pitcher. It was a softball style throw except that it was overhand. All of the news media pointed out that Obama made it over the plate. But if you watch this video from MLB.com you will see that the first baseman Albert Pujols caught the ball in front of home plate and that it almost didn’t make it to his glove.
George Bush when he threw out the first pitch in a World Series game after 9/11 threw a perfect strike. I did hear on the radio this morning that Obama was at a disadvantage because baseball is a sport mostly played by American youth.

Yes-he threw like a girl and he governs like a moron. He is the worst president we've ever had and if you don't stand up, he will ruin our country faster than you can blink an eye.
He is an absolute disgrace to our country. Any American that voted for this loser is a traitor or insane.
Obama is taking this country down faster than a bottle of vodka at Courtney Love's house.
the president doesn't throw like a girl, there are lots of girls who can do better then that on a bad day. he throws like a nerd our very own president urkel.
Women can throw a ball just fine. How about you sexist ****'s grow up.
You people can't be THAT miserable....CAN U!!!
YOUR kind is the REASON HE's PRESIDENT!!!
BIGOT'S will ALWAYS REVEAL themselves because it's EVIL!!! How do u sleep at night...or love...ANYTHING!!! MOVE TO IRAQ or IRAN where it's baseline to HATE!!! And leave AMERICA to people who have the capacity to think and love...UR SAD!!!!
Article is right on target. At men's club last nite and the "pitch" was all the talk. Sportsman, not him.
Was unable to watch the game,just saw the vid of BHO throwing out the first pitch.I was expecting a fastball knee high and instead got a throw I've seen at girls softball practice.
After watching Bush throw,for some I asked myself who would I rather have next to me in a foxhole or even in my neighborhood,someone willing to use force to protect what is mine or someone that thinks you can talk your way out of everything.Just a thought.
To my friend DumbConservatives: No, women can't throw a ball just fine and it's not sexist to say so. If you don't know that women can't throw you're not paying attention. There are certain facts about the sexes that don't change just because your panties are in a bunch.
What does that mean? You all are sexist and racist!
The apologists for this pathetic excuse of a "president" are entertaining. 0bama governs like a Marxist, speaks like a robot, and, yes, throws like a little girl. Say what you will about Bush, but he's at least all GUY. 0bama is.. well.. not.
Here's your penny, you turd. Grow up, Larry.
