The limp wristed B. Hussein Obama (D-Kenya) throws like girl.

Fox made Obama look good- they didn’t want to embarrass him over something that really didn’t matter.

Later, up in the announcer’s booth, Obama said he warmed up with Puljos in the bullpen. Puljos must have known that Obama throws like a girl because he set up on top of home plate. Even then he had to step forward with his left foot and reach out in front of him to keep the ball from plunking into the dirt.

Obama also bowls like a weenie- he scored a 37.

As for his much vaunted golfing skills… Well you can watch him online warming up before his Hawaii outing. He’s awful. Doesn’t rotate on his backswing and his left side flies open. I’d be willing to bet a huge lump of cash he couldn’t break 125 on his best day.

In this video, you get two angles of the pitch: At 0:45 is he wide-angle shot you have above; at 0:54, is a view from behind Obama. You can see that BO throws a big eephus pitch and Pujols jumps forward to catch it before it hits the dirt in front of the plate.

Folks, lets take politics out of it. No matter what angle you get…it was a BAD pitch, but of course…the “Obama man” is no pitcher…and proving not to be a good leader either. Politics back in…Obama, nor McCain were good choices…Palin either. My vote would have gone to Colin Powell “The General”. Maybe next time!

I live in Costa Rica and we had ESPN Latin America showing the all-star game as well as Fox Sports Latin America. ESPN did a good job. For some reason they had the right angle. Pujols actually squatted infront of home plate to recieve the pitch.

OK, I just saw the “Mom Jeans” clip on CNN and yes the jeans were bad. Very bad look for our president on National TV. Doesnt his wife help him out? The dudes tall and lankey w/o a butt so casual wear would always look less than best for him.

Funny, the “celebrity fashion consultant” geeknoid on the CNN clip had on tight pleated khakies so he has little room to criticize Barak.

I have yet to see the pitch. Barak is a decent athelete and plays basket ball so he should have done fine.

I just realized ol’ Barak is my age, 47. I as well as most of my peers still wear the same jeans we wore in college, Levis 501′s or 505′s. Men become a creature of habit. Besides, he’s straight, married, a dad and (young) middle aged so technically he doesn’t need to make an effort anymore. The dude does look good in his slim cut suits.
He should try some slim fit Wranglers

Obama’s a decent athlete. I don’t know why he couldn’t get the pitch to the plate. I was a little surprised. But yeah, the coverage of the pitch was bizarre and doctored. Bush bounced one to home once. Can’t they just stop playing the masses for chumps for just one night?

What’s up with the grumpy look on the face of Musial’s car driver?

I have to agree with those jeans the president had on. Come on brotha…Rock and Republic, 7 for All Mankind, True Religion, Diesel…somethin hotter than what looked like Lee jeans.
