YALL ARE STUPID, IGNORANT PIECES OF CRAP!!!!!!
IS PRES. BUSH YOUR HERO NOW BECAUSE HE CAPITALIZED ON MASS HYSTERIA.
Obama - so far a very good president
But....a very poor throw that he made worse by actually fist pumping afterwards like it was a great toss.
The flair jeans need to go back to the 70's closet.
He should stick to his day job of presdident.
say its not so wrote:
Obama - so far a very popular president
Obama Lied he repeatedly said his first pitch crossed home plate. Pujols had to lean forward to keep it from bouncing in front of the plate.
Obama lies about balls and strikes.
No doubt in my mind he has White mans blood in him.
Obama makes Richard Simmons look like an enraged Lou Ferrigno ... i.e., the Incredible Hulk
ur a f***in idiot
Shut Up!!!! You guys are RUNNERS! I bet anyone of you can't hit 40 mph on the radar gun! haha
Baseball? Pitching? Really? Roger Clemens throws/threw a great ball, but never in a million years would I vote for him as president.
I liked that video of Bush at Yankee stadium, by the way. I think I'd like the man very much as a person. To be honest, I don't think it mattered that he was president at the time. Same shit would've happened with a Dem or a Rep. They're all the same.
But really? Who cares what kind of pitch Obama threw? So far, he's doing a mediocre job in the presidency. Hopefully, for Americans' sake, he will be doing a better job by the end of the year. And, yes, I voted for him. Glad that I did so, too, because McCain would've been much less than mediocre.
You've hit upon a dream of mine-- the only reason I want to be President.
When asked to throw out the first pitch, I want to go to the mound, look at the catcher, and shake off the sign. Not once-- but twice.
Then-- I want the ball back. After six warm up pitches, I want a batter. Not some puny lead-off batter, but the clean-up batter. Then, I want to try and throw a knuckleball. I could actually throw one about 50% of the time in high school. If I get lucky and it knuckles- he swings and misses. Then I walk away.
If I don't get lucky-- well-- it was worth a try.
Has anyone considered the fact that he was probably wearing a bullet proof vest under everything which may restrict his arm movement a bit? George Bush fought through it if so, but it seems like a reasonable excuse for not making it over the plate.
not getting lucky=throwing wildly and hitting the batter in the faceI think this is what Obama was primarily trying to avoid.

yes i could easily break 40. Hopefully, I could throw 60. And George Bush wasn't President. He was previous owner of the Texas Rangers. President was like a summer job for him.
It was a poor throw by Obama. It did not make it to the plate or anywhere near the plate.
However, Pujols was setup in front of home plate and not behind it.
And Obama even said in the press box that he never played baseball before when growing up and that the throwing motion that comes natural to others is very unnatural to him.
I see some of the most athletic college students unable to properly throw a ball.
what is what wrote:

I think the word 'Cheerleader' is misleading. I went to the same high school as both Bush and Bush II and the head of 'cheering' was more like head of rallies. When I was a freshman, who was the head 'cheerleader' for the fall semester? The basketball captains on both the men and women's team. You actually had to be popular to be voted as head 'cheerleader'. I imagine it was more of the same thing during his Yale days.
As for being athletic, the fact reminds that Bush ran a 20 min 5k and benched 200 or so as well as a 50 year old. The whole 'Obama is our first jock president' thing to me is racist. If he wasn't black, they wouldn't say that (and it's not true anyways, we've had several athletic presidents).
