After going all pansy on us for the first pitch of the season (he was in Europe), Obama has decided to man up and show us his pitching skills. I wonder if he can throw better than he can bowl.

One of the best pitches Ive seen in a LONG while...that pitch went a long way toward the healing process

George Bush looked like he was Tim wakefield up there on the mound. haha down the pipe!

He was wearing a kevlar vest as well. Hope the Swamey throws his arm out.

He CAN'T be as bad as this!

What????!!!!

That had to be rigged. The camera stayed on Obama the whole time instead of following the pitch. By his reaction, it must have been close, but everyone watching on TV won't know.

Do you think that was an accident?

WITHOUT A DOUBT I will go to my grave thinking this was part of the agreement that they had with Fox if they were going to do it....notice they never said it either? Controlling the media, just another job of the Commander and Chief

He barely got it there...they showed a different angle while they interviewed him. Looked like a slow pitch softball pitch.

[01LUGrad]

I was going to say the same thing about the slow pitch softball trajectory.
Albert actually reached over the plate to catch it. I guess he bailed him out.


That being said, he did a good job in the booth. I just wonder how they got the teleprompter up there.

Yeah. We know those people at FOX will do anything in their power to make Obama look good.

[LUconn]

Well, he is a master of PR. And Fox would do what MLB says to do. Fox News does what it does because it makes a lot of money doing that. It's not as if Rupert Murdoch dislikes Obama.

The One through a sinker. McCain would have swung at it, so it was a strike.
