and his "limp wristed throwing technique"...
Posted on 07/16/2009 4:52:45 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia
Some pundits are using President Barack Obama's throwing out the first pitch at the 2009 All Stars Baseball game to find a new way to criticize him. Apparently, though it was not readily apparent to TV audience, Obama throws like a girl.
The account by Examiner Larry Amon was typical.
"Yesterday, at the major league all star game President Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Now politically this doesn't matter much but for a president who has carefully crafted his image, especially as a sports enthusiast, it's worth noting that President Obama is not much of a baseball player. He pushed the ball rather than throwing it like a pitcher. It was a softball style throw except that it was overhand. All of the news media pointed out that Obama made it over the plate."

Throw like a girl? No, my two girls throw better than him...
It’s not like there are other newsworthy events going on in the world.
Nope this is the most important topic. Of course I think most people saw him sink a 3-pointer during a troop visit, but what I really want to know is what does he look like playing Jai alai.
Oh my...that is too funny.
Not to pile on Barry’s lack of athletic talent...(but I will)...back during the NCAA Final Four, the Bamster was shooting hoops with someone (forget who)...but soooooo much was made in the media of how ‘young’ ‘atheletic’ yada yada...he is. But when they showed him shooting the basketball his hands were all wrong (no ‘gooseneck’ after the shot on the follow thru) he kinda ‘launched’ the ball towards the hoop...EVEN I CAUGHT THAT!!! I kinda figured thats why Coach K (of Duke) was so dismissive of talking to The One...no respect (or ability to play the game).
....no he throws like a guy...a guy who squats to
In my day we would say he had a rag arm.
Throws like a Kenyan.
*LOL*
Speaking of that,
I actually found some AR’s for sale
when I went looking around. (www.classicarms.us)
They even have some ammo available.
Sarah sure looks like a natural with a weapon, doesn't she? She is the epitome of cool. Go Sarah!!
0 admitted during the booth interview that he did not play baseball as a boy. That alone should disqualify him from being president.
Obama is such an asshat.
He goes into into this big windup like he thinks he’s some big time relief closer and then tosses out this lob ball that my 3 year old daughter would have laughed at.
That was obvious during campaign stops in Indiana, however, the media lauded his abilities. I thought he just looked like someone who had very little experience shooting a basketball.
Agree, many girls throw very well. Fast pitch softball pitchers come to mind.
0bama’s pitching reminds me more of Rudy Stein from the “Bad News Bears”, who could barely reach home plate, and had to be replaced by an outstanding female pitcher. Is there a political parable in there somewhere?
No, he throws like a GIRLY MAN.
