		<description>To bad they could not show the ball miss the mark, like most of his policies. Pray for us.
I guess in Indonesia they don&#039;t have baseballs,</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;What else is there to discuss other than his delivery, that some people in the crowd cheered and some booed?&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s pretty much what has happened &lt;b&gt;every other year!&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Actually, Quibbie, no one&#039;s talked about his &#039;Mom Jeans&#039; here yet. If you want to change the national discourse of this blog thread, we could go that route.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So the conservative contribution to the national discourse has now devolved to, “Obammy throws like a girl! Yah! Yah!”?

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s a blog post about Obammy throwing out the first pitch, Quibbie.  It&#039;s hardly national discourse. What else is there to discuss other than his delivery, that some people in the crowd cheered and some booed?

And I think several of us have argued that girls throw &lt;i&gt;better&lt;/i&gt; than he does, not that he throws &lt;i&gt;like&lt;/i&gt; a girl.</description>

		<description>Perhaps Obama saw this as what it really is; not a showcase of why he didn&#039;t get called up to the bigs, but a fucking photo -op and a meaningless gesture.

Good lord, the things y&#039;all can get riled up about.</description>

		<description>“There are 9 year old girls who could have done better.”

&lt;blockquote&gt;And you speak from this experience how?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;ve seen 9 year old girls do amazing things.  Throwing a baseball better than Obama did wouldn&#039;t really be all  that unusual for a young girl (actually, most girls play softball, a much bigger ball). It&#039;s no big deal to me if Obama never played baseball, but there are girls at that age that can throw with a more full arm type throw than that if taught the mechanics properly.  Obama is in great shape and was a good hoops player, but his throw was more of an overhead basketball type toss than a baseball pitch.  What looked goofy was the wind-up, because nothing about his wind-up added any momentum to the throw, which was really all just with his wrists.

But to your question, girls at nine years old are at very little disadvantage to boys when it comes to throwing a ball if taught the mechanics and they have the athletic interest. A lot of times they have much better temperament for learning the mechanics, too.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;As far as Bush being a bad president we are only months into the new administration and things are going down hill quick. IN fact Obamas approval rating is dropping almost as fast as his pitch.&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>You people fail to realize that Obama carries on the image of an athlete. He is a self proclaimed sports fanatic and he is always talking about playing basketball or some other sport. When you give yourself that image and throw a ball like that its laughable. There are 9 year old girls who could have done better. He is a poser and far from athletic as the ball barely reached the plate. Pujols snatched that ball about 2 feet in front of the plate. As far as Bush being a bad president we are only months into the new administration and things are going down hill quick. IN fact Obamas approval rating is dropping almost as fast as his pitch.</description>

		<description>Thank heavens the 2012 Presidential election will be based on throwing a baseball and knowledge of sports trivia.  I&#039;d hate to think it was based on anything resembling legitimate reasons.

In related news, I hope we start picking Olympic winners based on their political beliefs and not their physical prowess.</description>

  Ah yes, leave it to Andrew &quot;black studies intelligentsia crowd&quot; Breitbart to nitpick for verbal gaffes. Apparently, aping a language of your temporary southern residence with the syntax of a retarded chipmunk is the standard to uphold.</description>

		<description>&quot;My wife thinks I&#039;m cute in the White Sox jacket,&quot; Obama later told Joe Buck and Tim McCarver in the broadcast booth in a conversation that seemed very loose and free-flowing instead of scripted. &quot;I&#039;m not a Cubs hater, I&#039;m not one of those guys. I just don&#039;t root for them, that&#039;s all.&quot; 

That seals it for me. Hopey/Changey is a flat-out dork.</description>

		<description>The reason he was wearing a jacket, is because he had a bulletproof vest on underneath, dumbass.

Why did he have to wear one?  Oh, I dunno, maybe because of the constant death threats from limpdick racist losers on a daily basis.</description>

		<description>&quot;Maybe the guy isn’t too jazzed that a non-White (i.e., non Real American) was legitimately elected President (and by a decent margin). Maybe he’s, you know, a modern Republican&quot;

Ah yes Indeed, throw the race card when all hope is lost. Makes for a nice finishing touch. 
Your predictability is...............predictable. *YAWN*

Oh, I almost forgot. Doesn&#039;t Obama look like Erkel in that clip?
He even has those Mama jeans on.</description>

Put up some Cut-and-Run Sarah, some Quittah from Wasilla, and we will.

Oh, that&#039;s right. We&#039;re AFRAID of her. By that logic, you must be terrified of Obama, Joker. Shaking in your pee-damp pants.</description>
