Mark my words, THAT WILL NOT SIT WELL with most viewers. This will be his second European tour. He is not the POTUS and there is no vital emergency message he needs to convey. Obama’s message is one of self importance to propel him for his own ego. Most viewers will not want the game delayed for the false messiah. They are tuning in to watch baseball, not Obama.

look at the bright side
I figured on a White Sox - Cubs series with Baraq and Michelle on camera every inning for 7 games.

The Phillies are in the world series, and I can testify that everyone in Philadelphia is fired up. They will all be watching the games. I bet a bunch are annoyed to have it delayed. I hope so, Obama annoying voters in Pennsylvania right before an election would be sweet!

I agree with you. His speech in Germany was seen by many here as "overboard." And let's not forget his acceptance speech at the Greek Temple in Colorado. Everything this guy has done is excessive, and over the top. The average American recognizes it and can't relate to it.

ding. winner... Baseball fans hopefully in at least two swing states will be aggravated this idiot politician is on every channel.

I agree that this will backfire and shows the complete disconnect between Zero and normal Americans. Sports fans will not accept this kind of crap. It would be interesting if he tried this before an NFL game. McCain would be ahead in a flash.
