This was swiped from Gateway Pundit, including the Sissy Pitch thing, because some things are simply said right the first time. So here is his link, with video. He also links to President Bush's famous strike, thrown right down the middle after 9/11.

But GP's embedded video doesn't show how President Cupcake's pitch fell short of the plate and misses the fact that the catcher scooped it up on a short hop.

He does include the link to this Yahoo video, which, if you wait until the very end, will give you the good shot of the whole thing.

Yahoo says that one thing is for certain: Obama is no George W. Bush.

The more debatable point from the historic moment was the reception the President was afforded by the self-described "best fans in baseball." Though Obama was roundly cheered by the All-Star fans, his live presence still didn't attract the applause that George W. Bush did during a taped announcement by the four previous Presidents before the game and some boos could even be heard among the cheers.

Oh yeah. They were booing alright. Welcome to middle American, Mr. President.
