It is not unusual for President Obama and our allies to communicate on a regular basis, especially with the Turkish Prime Minister in regards to the ongoing situation in neighboring Syria, however the Turkish press and government are bewildered over a photo released by the White House of President Obama talking to the Prime Minister earlier this week:
Maybe the President really likes baseball, or maybe he's trying to create the image of Teddy Roosevelt's famous "walk softly and carry a big stick" quote for the fall campaign, but either way it's a massive failure.

In the screen adaptation of his play A Few Good Men, writer Aaron Sorkin includes a scene where Navy lawyer Daniel Kaffee suddenly begins a frantic search of his D.C. apartment for his baseball bat.

Gypsies in the palace! What kind of a JERK would have a baseball bat in the Oval Office? He thinks this is some kind of sport?

Obama is setting a historical precedent ... and it isn’t pretty for the black race.
