Obama Throw

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, even though the Giants gave President Obama's staff several phone numbers to call, the President cold-shouldered the World Series Champs. Elitist indifference to our national pastime.

Or maybe he's still fuming at Baseball over all that criticism he took for throwing namby-pamby.

I don't care where he was born. President Obama lacks an American aesthetic.

A smart pol would have hired a trainer to prep him so he looked like he could handle himself out on the mound.

I get that he's busy and all... but if he's trying to shore up his base, well... you'd think...

that really is an appalling picture...

"throwing namby-pamby"

That link is awesome. The juxtaposition is striking.

Diane Ellis, Ed.

The man is a Nobel Prize winner. You can't expect His Eminence to follow something as mundane as the World Series.

Give the guy a break. He's busy planning for a $200 million per day vacation.

"throws like a girl" is a compliment to the Left.

He is probably sulking after watching the youtube of President Bush and President Bush at the Texas game getting an incredibly warm reception and prolonged adulation from the enormous crowd.

He's busy writing a speech explaining how today's tsunami was really a victory for him.

However, from now on every politician can bite their lip, wear mom jeans and throw like a girl, while still saying "hey, I wasn't as bad as Charlie Crist".

"The Alien in the White House" is what Dorothy Rabinowitz of the Wall Street Journal called him last June. I don't think she went far enough. I say he's The Alien in the Black Ops House.

Look at the people he surrounds himself with; the "czars" (and how did we ever get into that stupid trap?). Consider the totality of his lies and deceptions. Twenty-four months of feints, double-crosses, 'straw man' arguments, false dichotomies, passive-aggressive and malicious acts.

He should be impeached for reckless endangerment, implied malice, and depraved indifference.

Obama to See India on $200 Million a Day

By Doug Powers

Seemingly every election day estimate predicting increasingly bad news for Democrats is met by an exponential rise in the cost to taxpayers for President Obama’s 'I'm outta here' tour.

 

Mumbai: The US would be spending a whopping $200 million (Rs. 900 crore approx) per day on President Barack Obama’s visit to the city.

 

“The huge amount of around $200 million would be spent on security, stay and other aspects of the Presidential visit,” a top official of the Maharashtra Government privy to the arrangements for the high-profile visit said.

 

About 3,000 people including Secret Service agents, US government officials and journalists would accompany the President. Several officials from the White House and US security agencies are already here for the past one week with helicopters, a ship and high-end security instruments.

 

And if the Democrats lose the Senate, expect another $50 million in room service tabs alone, Tea Party ingrates.

 

To put it in perspective, $200 million is enough money to buy a pair of Lanvin sneakers for over 370,000 Indians.

We need to get this out right now !! Obama Refused to Call the Giants Because He's Afraid It Would Help Pelosi in her Election !!!

Since Obama has found that Nancy Pelosi is actually a big capitalist business owner, loves to hunt, eat pork barbeque with her private doctors staff in Utah, thinks gays are icky, and has two black guys that just wax her jet he has decided that she needs to go. And her accountant and lawyer are both Jewish !! She loves Israel.

But lacking anyway to directly talk to her constituents, he is using "code" to tell them not to vote for her.

So Obama supporters, here's your chance to help the President. Don't vote for Nancy Pelosi ! She was for the Orioles the whole time.

$200 Mil a day doesn't seem possible, that's more than Elton John spends on flowers for a week.

Seriously, I don't see how anyone can spend that kind of dough. I bet we aren't spending $200 mil a day in Afghanistan!

C'mon he's gotta be right-handed.

Tell me the man is right-handed. Please.

San Francisco IS his base. That's the only place the perfectly aligns with his politics. And he still couldn't make the call. Tacky, tacky, tacky.
