ST LOUIS Where did it land? Was it a strike or wasn't it? Why didn't the network choose a better camera to shoot from? Those were the questions that viewers of baseball's All-Star Game were asking themselves at home after Fox elected to show President Barack Obama's ceremonial first pitch at the 80th All-Star Game from a tight angle....Obama's southpaw delivery landed a little short of the plate, but Cardinals star Albert Pujols(notes) was able to save it by quickly scooping it up....Though Obama was roundly cheered by the All-Star fans, his live presence still didn't attract the applause that George W. Bush did during a taped announcement by the four previous Presidents before the game and some boos could even be heard among the cheers.

Didn’t think anybody could be as unathletic as Yawn Kerry, but yikes what a tard.

Does he shoot baskets with a limp wrist?
Really far back for me. ;(
Did you know Kerry served in Vietnam?
I had wondered why most adult Chinese immigrants couldn’t say their “L’s”. When I took classes for my ESL endorsement and I had a Linguistics class, I learned that if you haven’t developed your mouth muscles as a youth that one would use in pronouncing a “L” sound, you never can do it later in life.
Same with Spanish. I learned how to trill my R’s as a kid. From what I understand from linguistics, that as an adult you can’t trill the R’s. This causes a problem in Spanish. They have words that you are supposed to “trill” and if you don’t it means something else. Like “perro and pero”.
So obama pitches a baseball like kerry did with his football LOL
Truer words were never spoken.
Didn’t know that, he shoulda mentioned that in his campaign. All I can say, if he was throwing any grenades, DUCK!
Pray for America
Probably! :-))
He’s very humble about his service. You might not have known. ;)
She got lots of practice throwing at Bill.
Why is that ? Obama can thow a ball and McCain can't but I think McCain is ten times the man Obama is. I think the democrats are leading this country to ruin and we don't have the votes to stop them. But whether Obama thows a ball or not is not germaine to the democrats ruining the country.
Hehehehe

He looked like the little girly man he is. Strutted out onto the field and made a fool of himself.

I heard that, I think he mentioned his humility a number of times. He has a lovely wife also, childhood sweetheart I believe.

Do you know that he was wounded in the line of duty.
