Obama booed at All-Star game

At last night’s MLB All-Star Game, President Obama was booed after throwing out the first pitch. Actually if you listen closely, it sounded like they were booing him from the introduction. Fans at home weren’t able to see exactly where the ball landed, but it seemed to me that Obama threw a decent pitch.

Baseball aficionados said he threw like a sissy, but really, give the guy a break, you can’t expect him to be good at everything. Sporting his black and white Chicago White Sox jacket, Obama jogged onto the field and waved to the St. Louis crowd before the first throw.

Compared to George W. Bush’s famous strike in the 2001 World Series, Obama couldn’t compare. But Cardinals star catcher Albert Pujols noted that pitch did make it to the plate.
