Amid beer and champagne flowing in the clubhouse of the San Francisco Giants late Monday, one thing was missing. The president. Not the president of the ball club. The President of the United States. Giants players and personnel thought they'd hear from President Barack Obama by telephone after San Francisco beat the Texas Rangers 3-1 in Game 5 to capture its first World Series title since 1954. But Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter tells KNTV they have yet to take that call. Slaughter says team personnel gave the White House the private line into manager Bruce Bochy's office, as well as other numbers for Obama to get in touch - but so far, nothing. The Giants, though, are used to waiting. It's been 56 years since their last series title.

He was smoking pot with his czars, chillin’ out before the bad news today.
But I’ll bet GHW Bush and GW Bush both congratulated them last night after the game.
Thought he’d want to rub it in after Bush’s team lost and SF won. Maybe even Obama is running away from Pelosi.
Don’t expect any class from the POSOTUS.
The rat king does not like baseball he is a softball girly man! Look at the way he throw’s a ball.
“God v2.0” does not have the time nor the need to bother with such tiny people and their tiny, insignificant lives...
Baseball is as American as apple pie. Obama doesn’t relate.
POSOTUS only talks to foreign enemies of the USA not the local “enemies”.
Sorry, Giants, after 10 PM it’s time for Obama’s Thorazine dosing. Otherwise he can’t sleep.
When the phone didn't ring, they knew it was him.
To tell the truth I always hated it when presidents did this but it is strange.
These ceremonial obligations are a waste of time. Obama did something right for once.
Government has no other end, but the preservation of property. —John Locke
Amateur hour continues at the White House.
He could care less about baseball so the thought doesn’t even enter his head to call.
“”But I’ll bet GHW Bush and GW Bush both congratulated them last night after the game.””
I turned the TV off while the festivities were still going on in the Giants clubhouse but I wondered if perhaps GWB would show up there. Did he? Or at the Ranger’s clubhouse?
LOL!
