That’s the point isn’t it? Couldn’t Barry have just said, “I can’t. I’m a fan because their my hometown team, call me a fair weather fan, I watch when I can, it’s tough with my schedule.” Instead barry reinforces a belief that he’s a pathological liar.
The second point on this story is a lesson for the media. Look what happens when you question something Dear Leader says!

Dont forget Carl Yastrzemski.
(facepalm)...you fail. I hope you weren't being serious when you said Yaz was a member of the White Sox.

I just don’t see the big deal in this. Seems to me that a person could be a fan of a team just because it’s in their home town, and not even follow the game.

Good for you, but why cant someone be a fan and not know any of the players names? Couldnt someone just like watching a game in their home town and leave it at that? Then you are someone who enjoys the game, you are not a "fan" of a particular team, especially not one who purchases/wears team gear. I like rock music, some bands I really enjoy, but I am not a "fan" of those, I can't name particular members, not so great on the song titles, really only know the lyrics if the song comes on, I'm singing along with it. Those bands I am a "fan" of, I know their names, instruments played, songs they wrote, etc.
There is a world of difference when you call yourself a "fan" -- as pointed out in earlier post, this was just more of the politician attempting to curry favor with the folks, Hillary sporting a ball cap which obviously wasn't hers, Kerry goofing a name, it's the phony lie and it's really not necessary.

It would be perfectly okay of Barama simply said he isn’t a big fan of the game or the Sox. But he just can’t help embelleshing and lying about his true interest because TO DO SO IS THE ESSENCE OF BARACK. Lying, stretching the truth, exaggeration to give a false impression of himself is what he does.
I think we’re supposed to just accept it. Maybe by “fan” he meant he’s simply “aware of” the team?

Funny, but when I was living in Hawaii, most baseball fans there were either Dodgers or Mariners fans.

Isn’t that just semantics? Sounds like the definition of what is is...Besides, isn’t that what politicians do anyway, curry favor? How else would they get elected?

Obama’s critics shouldn’t waste their and our time criticizing him for his baseball activities. I’m disappointed with David Horowitz.

Bill Holden and the boys in Stalag 17 caught the Nazi spy by asking him how many home runs Babe Ruth hit in 1927.

Funny you should say that. I'm not a fan of 29 of the 30 teams in baseball (Angels fan here), but I can name at least a couple of active players on each team's current roster.
Obama found out that he couldn't dazzle us with brilliance, and now he's finding out we're not buying his BS either. To be a "FAN" is to know at least a few basic facts about the team you supposedly follow. He can't even pronounce the damn stadium's name correctly.

I once saw this guy hit a check-swing home run.

This guy here could flat out hit.

What a lousy “pitch”! Sarah Palin could have done a whole lot better.
To: afraidfortherepublic
Typical Obama pitch...winds up like it’s going to go down the middle, but misses and goes hard to the left.

It's like asking who was your favorite Chicago Bulls player in the 1990's and not naming anyone. I believe that would be Michael Jackson...Right?

Scottie Kerr, actually. And B.J. Longley.

Hard to the left and high — like a softball lob. I said that Sarah Palin could have done better. Heck! I could have done better. And I have a 15 year old grandson who could have nailed it with a strike!
