President Barack Obama plans to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the All-Star game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on July 14.
The White House said Tuesday that Major League Baseball’s focus on community service matches with Obama’s service initiative this summer, known as United We Serve.
“The central theme of the 2009 All-Star game is community service, celebrating the extraordinary work being done by ordinary people,” baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. “We are thrilled that we can come together with President Obama, who has encouraged a renewed spirit of national service, and illustrate a call to action in our communities. President Obama will continue a great tradition that joins our nation’s leader and the national pastime.”

Odd... always pegged O as more of the catcher type
Based on his bowling game and writing style, this should be hilarious.
This president stuff is only a part time job anyway. He has many more important things to do.
Puke city
The Great Amnerican Pastime is visited by the man who is doing more than anyone in history to destroy America; meanwhile, Bud Selig, sensing no irony, proves he can get down on his knees and kiss @ss with the best of them.
I wont be there so I’ll say it here....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Also I’ll add. Yet another reason to hate baseball.
I could see Obie standing next to a pitching machine as it zinged one in then walking off the mound waving his arms as though he had thown it himself. :)
Oh great, another Chris Matthews knee jerk and leg tingling moment. No thanks.

Wow the press went gaga over killing a fly. Can you imagine the accolades he’ll get if the ball even goes in the general direction of home plate?
THis marxist crypto-muslim is going to get booed louder than Nicolea Ceausescu on the eve of the Romanian revolution.
He's going to politicize Baseball now, can't let well enough alone,always pushing.
This is going way too far, and he and his fellow socialist crooks will pay a heavy price.
“THEY” are readying the excuses now for anything but a strike.
But in “THEIR” most astute reasoning the ‘peoples’ (WE) will be told it was a perfect pitch that ‘stung’ the catcher’s hand.—not matter where it lands.
Yet another milestone for URKEL.
All this will be done with awe, reverence and a straight face.
You got it.
I’m hoping the whole place loudly boo his sorry ass.
Obama to throw out first pitch at All-Star game
Obama will ruin baseball.
Aggressive narcissism
1. Glibness/superficial charm
2. Grandiose sense of self-worth
3. Pathological lying
4. Cunning/manipulative
5. Lack of remorse or guilt
6. Emotionally shallow
7. Callous/lack of empathy
8. Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
My thoughts too. Considering (1) how much AS tickets cost, (2) a "well to do" audience (3) smack in the middle of America.
This just might be an appearance that the punk president regrets.
They are playing for keeps.
Broadcasters will mute the volume...then again; isn't this on FOX? I'd rather see people turning their backs.
“The central theme of the 2009 All-Star game is community service,The ACORN never falls very far fron the tree.
Another $350,000 dollar trip on Air Force One.
If the crowds starting booing Obama, then his Secret Service detail will be charging around the stadium, guns drawn, shouting,
“Silence!! Show respect!! He won!!”
;^)
Also I’ll add. Yet another reason to hate baseball.
It’s a thinking man’s game so you won’t be missed.
Another TV event I will be skipping.
“The central theme of the 2009 All-Star game is community service”
You can do me a big service by handing me a barf bag before I hurl all over your Nikes.
Why does he expect his constituents who are mostly lazy and shy away from work to volunteer to work for free?
Skanky wh0re b!tch!
LLS
As a baseball fan, I hate to see the Mutt use the All-Star game as a way to keep his ugly mug in front of us all the time.
I will not watch the game.
“Odd... always pegged O as more of the catcher type”
Actually, he needs to be sent back down to the minors.
He is out of his league.
He's a freakin 40-something year old man, who still lives at home with mommy and daddy.
Tells anyone who'll listen that the city is safe...but he's the first Mayor the city has ever had who felt the need for a full time body guard...a real POS dim (excuse the redundancy).
This goofball is everywhere!!!. Now throwing the first pitch at the MLB all star game. Why politicize this? MLB will be pissing off half of the country with this stunt and his media will swoon like it’s brittany spears coming out of rehab again. I love baseball, but will not watch until the game is well underway. I am real sick of the overexposure of the guy who plays president on the tv.
Unfortunately for this occasion, the crowd you describe is likely to try to be polite, and they have much more class than anyone who shows up solely to see the TOTUS
i was appalled when i read this this morning...i for one will not watch the start of the game....just another tv op for him...and they say because this years theme is community service tying in with obama give me a break....
I hope that they boo his worthless, slimey, communist butt right off the mound.
they will probably fill the stadium with obozo’s followers for the 1st pitch just to get the cheers for him...then usher all out and let the real ticket holders in for the game...
He won’t even be close:

I have not watched the All stame Game since the 70’s when it was fun to watch!
HEY!!!!!!!
That’s Senator skanky wh0re b!tch, to you.
Now, now, the USSS is made up with professionals who have nothing to do with the folly coming out of the WH.
Besides, the guys will probably just smirk at the boos.
So, after having had to wait 43 years to have the All-Star game come back to St. Louis, fans are going to have to put up with O’Bummer. I can see it now...we won’t see it here for another 43 years.
They’ll probably put a glove on the teleprompter behind the plate.
“THis marxist crypto-muslim is going to get booed louder than Nicolea Ceausescu on the eve of the Romanian revolution.”
Yeah, 0’s people can’t control a stadium full of baseball fans like they do press conferences and town hall meetings. Still, I’m sure their sound editors will have axed the boos before the pitch airs on TV.
I’m betting if he flubs it,
the press will give him as many do-overs as necessary
to make him look good.
