"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.

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

America is sliding fast.
