Many of the young ball players weren’t exactly impressed, though, mostly because they apparently didn’t know who he was. Allow us to repeat that: the President of the United States of America just dropped by to say hey, and they didn’t know who he was.

Obama has proven he can’t make it in the “Big Leagues,” and now finds himself rejected by Little Leaguers…

Maybe they were just concerned he would steal something from them. He’s stolen quite a few things from me.

Wait a minute...this WASHINGTON POST article:

http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/05/19/obama-takes-an-unexpected-detour-to-a-little-league-game/

written by Obama sycophant Katie Zezima indicated the children were very excited to have the interloper interrupt their practice....

“He then posed for photos with the very excited players.”

“....the kids might have trouble concentrating.

“Omg, it’s a dream come true,” one player said of Obama’s visit to another.”

The kid's dream is for Obama to visit another kid?

Throws like a girl??

That comment is unnecessarily harsh towards the throwing ability of girls. Quite a few of them can throw much better than he does.

Sadly, my 2nd grader knows who he is and that keeps my tongue in check when he’s around . .

Just a tad curious here. Do American girls throw differently than Swedish girls or Chinese girls?
