Wrong number? Obama doesn't call champion Giants

Amid beer and champagne flowing in the clubhouse of the San Francisco Giants late Monday, one thing was missing.

The President. Not the President of the ball club. The President of the United States.

[skeeter]

Not enough diversity on the giants ballclub?

Good, Obama's absence made the victory that much more enjoyable.

They don’t play baseball in Kenya.

Sad day today for Ranger fans, it sucked.

Two on, two out, 1st base empty, 2-0 count to known home run hitter and you don't walk him?

please I cant stand it....

RE: “The sad thing is, beyond Obama’s cluelessness, there’s not one person in his circle that has the foggiest idea about presidential behavior. Jimmy Carter’s “cornpone” cabinet was lightyears ahead of these rubes.”

******************

It’s true — during Carter’s term I worked for the largest insurance company in the US, and our CEO came to speak to our western HQ. He, no fan of Carter, said that we were mistaken if we mistook Carter for a fool. He said that no matter how much we may have disagreed with his politics, he was a very very intelligent man. For some reason that always stuck with me and I never quite thought about the hayseed in the same way afterwards.

With Obama, however, I think his ‘smarts’ are all shtick, he has been propped up by the likes of Soros and Ayers among others, and we have no idea whether he is intelligent or just a slick punk token.

Carter was a terrible President but nothing compares with this current scourage.

He hates this country so much that he has no time for something like the World Series.

Prolly weren't too concerned pitching to an old guy who spent four months this season riding the bench.

Turned out to be a mistake, for sure.

Classless. Doesn’t matter anyways as it won’t effect the sheep on the left coast who vote D.

[angcat]

He said that no matter how much we may have disagreed with his politics, he was a very very intelligent man.

Ah yes especially when he asked his daughter’s advise on
Nuclear Weapons.

Maybe if Felipe Alou was still the Giants' manager, Obama would have called--I remember Alou coming out with an anti-American tirade a few years ago.

I wonder if Obama ever played baseball while growing up--it probably isn't common in Indonesia. When was the last US President who grew up without baseball? Probably mid-19th century.

You know you are not suppose to interrupt a Muslim during his holy prayers.

[Political Junkie Too]

Obama probably thought it would diminish the office of the President.

He was probably chatting away to some school in Yemen instead.
I don't know which is worse a President who doesn't care about Americans or a President that forgets who Americans are.

I missed that handhake. Baseball has some class acts. Thanks for that.

[grumpygresh]

Good news. This demonstrates that zero is so narcissistic, so invested in himself, that he cannot take time out to congratulate the World Series champs as all other presidents have done in the past. He is so worried and angry about losing today, that he probably can think of little else.
He is showing signs of psychological fragility.
Oh so good.

[Izzy Dunne]

team personnel gave the White House the private line into manager Bruce Bochy's office, as well as other numbers for Obama to get in touch — but so far, nothing.

It's not like they DIDN'T GIVE HIM A HINT or anything....

[YHAOS]

The President does not approve of achievement unless it is aided by government.

[skeeter]

I don't believe its an intentional snub, I really do think the Obama WH is in complete disarray.

There was an article posted yesterday quoting sources who claim the Obama team has NO IDEA how angry most of the democrat party is at him due to their current predicament. He's utterly clueless.

[Hunton Peck]

That would be incredibly cruel; they’re already hungover and have nothing left to heave.
