ABC News’ Karen Travers, Jon Garcia and Rachel Martin report: Just minutes after pitching a perfect game, Chicago White Sox Mark Buehrle was pulled out of his post-game press conference to take a phone call from one very well-known fan.

On the line was President Obama, an avowed White Sox supporter, calling to congratulate Buehrle on throwing the 18th perfect game in major league history and the first since 2004.

On his way to the airport, to fly from Cleveland to his hometown of Chicago, Obama learned via email from a staffer back at the White House that the White Sox nailed down the final three outs in the ninth to clinch the milestone for Buerhle...

Obama told Buehrle that perhaps his choice of attire that night may have been the little extra bit of good luck the pitcher needed to complete what the president called an “unbelievable achievement.”

That narcissistic {expletive} seems to the the sun shines out his backside. (to paraphrase Monte Python) He wants to claim some credit, somehow inject himself into, any and all good and decent situations. (when good and decent are two words I positively do not associate with obama)

"Somebody just asked me what's more exciting, that or the DOW going over 9000," Obama said.

He chose the perfect game.

Of course the game is more exciting; the DOW going over 9000 is just the tip of the iceberg of his cronies and soro'es manipulating the markets behind the scenes, and thus nothing that he didn't expect.

"Everybody knows I'm a White Sox fan. My wife thinks I look cute in this jacket, so, between those two things, why not?" he explained during the game.

The rest of us think you look like a nimrod in your "mom" jeans Urkel.

"...a...White Sox supporter..."

That sounded right to me. I'll bet 0 would really love being one of those!

Lord Zero wasn’t with them for either game today.

That said, this Tiger fan congratulates Mark Buehrle for his accomplishment yesterday and the whole team for playing two good games today.

Everything is always about obama
