President Obama won't throw the ceremonial first pitch before the Washington Nationals' home opener Monday.

According to a White House aide, Obama will decline the team's invitation to throw the pitch before the game against the Philadelphia Phillies, brushing back a presidential tradition that dates to 1910.

Didn’t have a dad so he probably can’t throw a baseball. Bet he throws like a retard.

It is too American, and he might offend the Germans and the rest of Socialist Europe, the Muslims, Castro, Kim Jong-Mentally Ill, and Bill Ayrs.

Fidel is more of a baseball fan than anti-baseball as typical for Latin America. He would probably be more offended with Obama's lack of skill but of course political views will trump that in public utterances.

Oh....I see, he’s holding out to throw out the first pitch for the Pitt. Pirates....(sarc)

[tomkat]

Sissy

but we already knew that

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Bet he throws like a retard.

He’s above silly baseball! He has more important things to do!......This jackass is trashing American tradition and is getting a lot of people pissed off!

[Centurion2000]

What a POS.

[keepitreal]

I was just guessing when I said he throws like a girl. Didn't know I was right!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

OBozo is a tard. He can’t play sports. Just look at his bowling score. Maybe he dances ballet with Rahm in the West Wing....

[keepitreal]

See post 67 for a pic. Yikes

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Oh boy! Great picture!....It’s obvious...No 90 mile an hour fast ball there!

[Future Snake Eater]

Bet he throws like a retard.

So, essentially, it would be like the Special Olympics? I think I'm detecting a trend.

[Swede Girl]

You are absolutely right. Castro and Cuba are big into baseball. Obama’s baseball skills would definitely not be up to their standards.

Army Brat here, too.

[mellow velo]

Maybe his crack staff could rig a teleprompter to work like a catapult to get the ball to home plate!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I’m throwing the ball now, sweeties....I hope it gets across the plate....

[Krodg]

True, I stand corrected.

[keepitreal]

I am a girl and I would be embarrassed by that one.

[knarf]

He's afraid of being shot ... America hates him and I'll wager there are more than a few plots being hatched right now.

I predicted this months ago, and I will repeat it ...

zero will become more and more insulated until he's like that scene with John Conners finding the white house press room in a cave in the desert.

[keepitreal]

Yep. He would be outclassed by W:

[AngelesCrestHighway]

He’s a big embarrassment to any American tradition as it’s turning out....

[AngelesCrestHighway]

At least W got it across the plate!
