Three Fingers of Politics ^ | April 5, 2010 | Stupac

Carlton Fisk, Frank “the Big Hurt” Thomas, Tom Seaver, Rich “Goose” Gossage – all names that any Chicago White Sox fan knows by heart. But today, while being interviewed by Washington Nationals booth announcers Bob Carpenter and Rob Dibble, President Barack Obama couldn’t muster up a single name.

The Commander-in-Chief, who has referred to himself a “White Sox kid” during the interview, was hard pressed to name a favorite player on a team that has been around since the late 19th century.

Obama went on to admit that growing up in Hawaii he was an Oakland Athletics fan and didn’t start to root for the White Sox until he got to Chicago and lived near the old Comiskey Park.

He can’t name a single player because he didn’t grow up in this country.

Something does not smell right with this ... he can’t name one favorite White Sox player? I can still almost name the whole starting lineup of my favorite team .. the Big Red Machine from the 1970’s.

Meanwhile, Rob Dibble, eh - loved him when he was with the Reds.

This was an informal password test used on the front lines during WW2...the GIs would ask “who won the world series”...if you couldn’t get it, then you were probably German.

And since Zero isn’t a natural born American, then it looks as if the test has been validated once again.
