Boos For Obama During Phillies-National 1st Pitch President Makes Terrible Delivery On The Mound WASHINGTON (CBS) ―
In front of thousands of fans, President Barack Obama strolled to the pitcher's mound and tossed a baseball to Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, officially launching the team's baseball season.
As he came out and greeted the players, a few boos could be heard coming from fans. The president didn't show any obvious reaction and made his way to the mound.
The setting -- freshly cut grass, a brilliant sun and clear skies -- was a picture-postcard quality introduction to a new Major League Baseball season. And the lanky Obama, appearing in khakis and a Washington Nationals warmup jacket, was the star attraction for a moment.

Throw some rotten tomatoes and eggs at im too!
did he slip into his Philly dialect?
He throws like a girly-girl.
What a complete asshole. He wore a White Sox hat to throw out the first ball at the Nationals versus Phillies game. What an asshole. No class whatsoever.
You would never know it according to the AP version:
WASHINGTON - In front of thousands of fans, President Barack Obama strolled to the pitchers mound and tossed a baseball to Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, officially launching the teams baseball season.
The setting freshly cut grass, a brilliant sun and clear skies was a picture-postcard quality introduction to a new Major League Baseball season. And the lanky Obama, appearing in khakis and a Washington Nationals warmup jacket, was the star attraction for a moment.
He took a short windup and hurled a high, arcing pitch that Zimmerman speared. The president, an unabashed fan of the Chicago White Sox, wore a Sox baseball cap. He shook a few hands and then walked off the field as fans awaited the real first pitch.
"wuss"
the amazing thing about this is that the game was being played in Washington and not Philly! (in Philly they boo everyone, including Santa Clause). If he was getting booed inside the beltway where they are all sucking off the Federal Teat, you know he is REALLY tanking!
Gotta give props to CBS for writing this article. It is the first truly negative article I have ever read from any MSM outlet about Obama. Ever.
Is there any video?
Yeah...but did he pay for the tickets?
Nobama throws like a girl. (Sorry to insult girls)
Yah, and the elves, too. (They are known formally as Subordinate Clauses...)

Excellent point.
Glad to hear Zero was booed! Did he have his Mom Jeans on, and did he throw like a girl again? ;-D
How many beers did he have at the game??? ‘burp....
