He’s kind of disoriented without Larry Sinclaire catching for him.

Don't forget that there's a limit to what a teleprompter can do.........

I just watched the video three times. Albert IS NOT BEHIND HOME PLATE!!! If anything, he is IN FRONT OF IT, and it appears to be directly UNDER HIS BUTT!!

Watch where Albert's left leg and foot move and end up when he has to lunge for the bounced ball. If he was where a NORMAL CATCHER SHOULD HAVE BEEN, his right leg doesn't move (like in the video) and his left leg landed the spot that it did, at the MINIMUM, he would've ended up on the disabled list for the remainder of the 2009 season.

If Albert was BEHIND the plate, where Molina usually is positioned to catch, it would have been AT LEAST A TWO-BOUNCER!!!

Agree on both points. My 13 year old remarked that the camera angle was intentional - thats how blatant the State Run Media have become - that even a 13 year old sees it.

DEFINITELY the catcher was positioned straddling the
plate and STILL he had to lunge forward to catch it.

I’m confused...I thought Dear Leader excelled at EVERYTHING!

I did not, for the first time in years, watch the ASG because of the presence of Obama. The sound of his voice makes me ill and I am not able to tolerate the unbridled slurping of him by media idiots. Couple Obama with Joe Buck and I get sick to my stomach.

It was blantant — glad your son recognized the fact. Kids are pretty smart sometimes a lot smarter then some adults in the MSM.

He looks like “Lamar Latrelle” of “Nerds” fame,
using the “limpwristed throwing technique”.

I am happy that someone else caught the “I grew up in Hawaii” comment. Years ago, Freud had something to say about his “off prompter” comment.

I was actually proud that he caught the camera angle and the intention behind it! One of those glimmer of hope moments!

I was born in one city (where there was the hospital) but grew up in a small town nearby. I tell people "I grew up in [town]" and think nothing of it. I don't feel compelled to add "but I was born in [city]." The city and town are only a few miles apart, within the same state and county. Here BO is talking about a whole STATE. It's not as if he was saying "I grew up in Honolulu" (which seems to be what a normal, natural-born person would say).

Moreover, why is he mentioning Hawai'i when the 2009 All-Star Game was held in St. Louis, MO? I'd think a normal person would mention to his hosts something he had experienced and liked about their city.
