Caption Obama throwing a softball

"The incident if filled with high symbolism. This is the way Obama handles everything in life. He starts out with good form, then fails to deliver, but acts instead like he over-delivered."

And then the "Press" covers up for his shortcoming.

Our local paper, here in podunk, AZ, carried an AP story:

"Obama tosses first pitch: ... true to his word: He didn't bounce it.... the ceremonial first pitch ... would reach the plate on the fly... Obama delivered!"

Uh, no, it did not reach the plate. Silly, just a tiny fib... but covering for any and every shortcoming is just the way it is now.

Use this web address to let FOX know how you feel about the crappy camera angle precluding viewers from seeing the pitch in it’s entirity.

I’ve been looking all over the net and youtube for this information: Where did the pitch actually land?

Good find! Thanks.

The catcher reflexively blocks a throw in the dirt, the 1st baseman scoops it up. (Throw was in fact short, dispite the fact that Pujols was squatting at the top of home plate.)

That and the fact that they were hoping that some of Pujols’ popularity would rub off on him when they embraced after the pitch.

LOL I wondered when that teleprompter would show up! :o)

[misharu]

I was thinking the same thing...I played softball in college and summer leagues for years. What a wuss.

[mmichaels1970]

Good thing Fox won’t show where this sucker lands!

"ooh, this ball is so much harder than the ones the state-run media throws to me."

Ironically enough, Americans laugh when other dictators (think Sadaam, Kim Jong-Il, etc) are covered for by their national press.

America is sliding fast.

You’ve got him down pat. Excellent.
