Yet another jaw-dropper for a president whose stock-in-trade is manufacturing a false image. Yesterday, after botching the first-pitch at the Washington Nationals' home-opener, the president was asked a simple question: Who, while growing up, was your favorite Chicago White Sock? Obama, who lived and worked in the Sox' South Side ‘hood, might have named a number of players-Bill Melton. Richie Allen. or Moe Drabowsky.
Instead, he whiffed. Seems the White Sox fan can't name a White Sock (and refers to the well known former Chicago landmark Comiskey part as "Cominsky" park). This is typical of Obama, who when not lecturing, is micro-managed to avoid conversation. When off-script, with real people, he isn't the One, enlightening the masses, he's a misinformed phony. The media, unfortunately, won't tell it like it is.
And the president still looks really bad tossing out the first pitch at the National's opening day game against the Phillies.
He can’t give his own speech either, hence the Teleprompter.
Husband tells me Carl Yastremski was a Red Sox.
Red Sox...White Sox....all the same.
If Obamer can get away with it, why can’t I?
I look at that and think, only two more!!
He has thrown out the first pitch twice now and will only get to do it 2 more times.
No offense to the Pale Hose fans out there, but Maximum Leader makes me really glad I support the Minnesota Twins.
Dude throws like a lady.
Not entirely true. I heard the interview and he said Cominsky Field. Just wanted to be entirely accurate at how far out of touch he is. The guy is a true idiot!!!
“Yastremski....Carl Yastremski....wasn’t he a famous White Sox player?”
Boston Red Sox
Fairy! Michelle would have drilled that in!
I thought cause his name was Polish. Thought there were a lot of Polish from Chicago.
So beyond Carl Yastremski, who was a Red Sox but hey, I got the SOX part right, I ask husband, tell me one famous White Sox player. Cause I can’t think of any. Though I’m not claiming to be a south side kid please bear in mind.
Husband says...”Luis Aprecio”.
“HE WAS A BALTIMORE ORIOLE!” I scream in dismay.
Well he was. I had no idea he was once with the White Sox.
Bet Obamer would think Luis Aprecio was a Mexican bandleader.
As much as we have heard about this so-called “hoops” star, you would expect this “star” athlete to have a decent pitch, but I’ve never seen a pitch by any male like that one. Obuma is the biggest fraud perpetrated on this country in its history-a dangerous one at that. He ought to be tarred and feathered and run out of DC on a rail.
Baseball and college football are not in his corps knowledge.
Obama is a pseudo-American. Barack Hussein Soetoro spent four of his formative school years in a country with a “president” [Soeharto] who was a dictator. His mother didn’t like associating with Americans in Indonesia.
I throw better left handed than he does. (I actually have a decent left handed curve and screwball)
Imagine the media mockery had Bush uttered those words.

I’m surprised his favorite team isn’t the “Reds”.
Obama appears to be a gay/timid pitcher.
I guess he never played baseball in his home country of Kenya...
