Obama Vs Bush

I'm not really a big fan of baseball. Occasionally I jump on the Rock's bandwagon whenever they start to make a run for the playoffs, but otherwise I don't pay much attention to the game. It's fun to watch live, but on TV it ranks right up there with Murder She Wrote. That's why typically I wouldn't bother tuning in to watch MLB's All-Star game. Tomorrow though I think I'll make an exception. At least for the opening anyway.

I just found out today that President Obama is throwing the ceremonial first pitch, and now I'm compelled to watch. Why? Because it's going to be a disaster. This was the guy who bowled a -4 while on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania. He bowled so bad, the pins actually started multiplying. OK, he actually bowled a 37, but how awful is that? I could bowl a 37 even if I was blindfolded and on roller skates. Now of course, the pres likes basketball, so maybe you can argue that if he can shoot hoops he's more than capable of throwing a baseball. But I don't think so. Obama doesn't strike me as being naturally athletic. He can shoot a basketball because he's had a lot of practice. Well it's my guess that he's never thrown a baseball in his life (being that he's a communist and all), and just like with his failed attempts at bowling, he's going to look the fool when he throws that pitch.

Does this man not have advisers? Who let him agree to this? Does no one see the political catastrophe about to occur?

If Major League Baseball wanted a president to throw out the first pitch, they shouldn't have asked the current one, but instead should have brought in the man he replaced. Say what you want about George Bush, but he was the greatest first-pitch president this country has ever known. The man threw strikes. Nothing but strikes. The catcher didn't even have to move his glove. The ball was a heat-seeking missile that always found its target.

You can't follow that. It's just not possible. And you'd better not follow that with a pitch that doesn't even make it to home plate, which is what I suspect Obama will throw.

Oh yes, it's going to be ugly. Can America survive?
