Some pundits are using President Barack Obama's throwing out the first pitch at the 2009 All Stars Baseball game to find a new way to criticize him. Apparently, though it was not readily apparent to TV audience, Obama throws like a girl.
The account by Examiner Larry Amon was typical.
"Yesterday, at the major league all star game President Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Now politically this doesn't matter much but for a president who has carefully crafted his image, especially as a sports enthusiast, it's worth noting that President Obama is not much of a baseball player. He pushed the ball rather than throwing it like a pitcher. It was a softball style throw except that it was overhand. All of the news media pointed out that Obama made it over the plate."

...the United States of America will stand strong and will never be intimidated..."
Up until 0 gets rolled by every thug/dictator/terrorist he goes groveling to.
The U.S. has really hit the bottom of the barrel with our new POtuS.
That made me cry. For all his faults George Bush really loved America and stood up for all that is good and decent. The contrast between him and the pretender is heart breaking.
That gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes.
Obama is not a pitcher, he’s a receiver...
You got to give Obama some credit.
Baseball is puzzling to many foreigners and the Kenyan put in his best effort.
Are cats covered with fur??
Two questions, same answer.
HE STINKS LIKE A KENYAN
“The One” is a sissy.
Don’t want to criticize her stance, but that skirt needs a split, preferably on the right side.
After the 9/11 “first pitch”, I heard Pres. Bush interviewed and he said when he played baseball, he was such a bad pitcher that once when he was warming up in the bullpen, the coach brought in the 2nd baseman to relieve the pitcher.......
glorgau: “On a bounce, not with the throw.”
No. The ball did not make it over the plate. The video is clear.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but the author of the article claims the major media all reported that the ball made it across the plate. In other words, they lied.
If he was that concerned about bouncing it, it says even more about him.
John W: “That was obvious during campaign stops in Indiana, however, the media lauded his abilities.”
The media lies. No offense meant, but you should understand a large portion of the media is propaganda. Obama is a media creation, an actor who reads scripts from a teleprompter.
Obama does not throw like a girl! I wish everyone would stop saying that! We girls can throw a lot better than Obama.
You and I understand that, but, unfortunatley many people do not-and probably won’t until its too late.
HAHA! When he first trotted onto the field I thought to myself, "Is he wearing a pair of his typical white grandmother's jeans that he pulled out of her dresser after she died?" They must be "Omama" jeans!
I'd like a little shot at him in one on one...
But it'll never happen. See, I'm that God fearing, freedom loving, pro-life, Constitution supporting Veteran and Patriot that Homeland Security warned him about!
