Not to miss any opportunity to make himself look different that his predecessor, George W. Bush, Obama threw out the first pitch at the All Star Game last night like a girl.
We've been told about Obama's muscles glistening in the sun in Hawaii, and about him playing basketball with Michael Jordan, but it would appear that his athletic abilities are about the same as ... well ... his ability to run the country.
He throws a baseball like a girl.
If you look at most of the media outlet photos, you wouldn't get that. Most are from an angle and at a point in the throw that make him look good. Watch a video, however, and you can see just how spastic he appears.
He didn't even get the ball to home plate. Over concerns that he might bounce the ball, the catcher (who was really the first baseman, but that's a whole different story) moved over the plate and then had to reach out to catch the ball as it bounces just before it goes into his glove. Many media outlets, however, reported that the ball didn't bounce, because that's the way the White House wanted it to spin. I'm not sure why that's so important.
They couldn't hide the fact, however, that Obama throws like a girl.
