Video: Even All-Star Game not safe from gratuitous Obama photo ops
posted at 9:06 pm on July 14, 2009 by Allahpundit
I’m so bored of watching him that I almost clicked over to the Food Network in disgust. But then I figured he’d probably be on there too, making casseroles with Rachael Ray or whatever, so I stayed put.
Dude, seriously: What’s with the mom jeans? Click the image to watch.
Update: Hi-rez mom jeans!

Nauseating, but in fairness, there was a decent share of these involving Dubya, too.

He appeared at my nephew’s circumcision and gave a tiresome, yet historic, self-referential speech.

Did you hear the boos?

Where are the jobs!
Firebird on July 14, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Narcissist-in-chief. Seriously, has there been one day that he hasn’t been on tv?
txag92 on July 14, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Like Sarah Palin at the hockey game, the press will hear what it wants to hear.

Seriously? I won’t watch the idiot… EVER!
txag92 on July 14, 2009 at 9:11 PM
I heard LOTS of Boos! Wouldn’t shock me if we learned that crowd noise was pumped in or digitized for us TV viewers at home….
Nils2en on July 14, 2009 at 9:12 PM
No, no, those were cows!
They were “moo-ing” in approval of Great Leader.
MSNBC reported it, so it must be true.
NoDonkey on July 14, 2009 at 9:13 PM
He did alright. I respect that he stayed loyal to his team. I didn;t know he was a southpaw.
Ted Torgerson on July 14, 2009 at 9:14 PM
I thought I heard boos too.
Lance Murdock on July 14, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Did u notice that they didn’t show the pitcher catcher angle? Just his girl like motion. Bet he didn’t want the audience see his pitch..
JVelez on July 14, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Harsh.

You must have missed the edition of Newsweek that covered his southpawedness.
txag92 on July 14, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Gay. Very, very gay.
SouthernGent on July 14, 2009 at 9:15 PM
between Barry and Cubs pitcher Lily..not sure who got the most boos.. I really enjoyed that.
redrock on July 14, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Did you notice that they didn’t track the baseball, neither live nor in replay? I wonder if there was fear that he may not throw a strike, and the media certainly would not want to show Obama fail…
Seabecker on July 14, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Super ultra gay…
katy on July 14, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Not a day after TOTUS died and Obama is out playing games………
……… what’s in store for the rest of us?
Seven Percent Solution on July 14, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Gee, Bambi’s a lefty, woulda thought.
NoDonkey on July 14, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Let me guess… the stories of star struck players gushing over President Obama in the clubhouse before the game are all made up too, right?
benny shakar on July 14, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Wait……… Breaking News!!!!
Obama is in the braodcast booth!
Seven Percent Solution on July 14, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Holy sh-t he’s in the broadcasting booth
V15J on July 14, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Obambi, W, Bubba, all Southpaws. Skull and Crossbones, methinks?
bikermailman on July 14, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Great, now he’s in the press box.
I go out of my way to avoid the news and now he’s invading sports?
Next time I open a beer, will he appear?
NoDonkey on July 14, 2009 at 9:18 PM
now he is in the broadcast booth with Buck .. phucq that.
redrock on July 14, 2009 at 9:18 PM
He throws like a Kenyan born post circumcision Islamic girl.
TheSitRep on July 14, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Obama controls Fox Sports and MLB too! WTF?! I can’t watch my favorite sport in the world without watching that jackass. Now he is in the booth with Joe Buck and Tim McGarver.
I’m forced to watch Hannity for several minutes. I can’t stand Obama.
jencab on July 14, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Actually, I didn’t hear the boos.
I lived in St Louis, went to a few Cardinals games. Given the preponderance of blacks among the fans, I would think that anyone inclined to boo this disgraceful hack would give it a serious second thought. Stands could start looking like a South American soccer riot in no time flat.
guntotinglibertarian on July 14, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Seriously, does this overexposed penis ever stop traveling and playing? Where are the jobs asshole?
elduende on July 14, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Well..today he is.
Really love to see the Nationals get in to the play-offs. (well not really)…
‘I met my wife at a Nationals game’..
Go Twins!!!!
BigWyo on July 14, 2009 at 9:19 PM
The Boo’s were louder!
canopfor on July 14, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Gladly missed the O throw.
Oh no,
He’s on again in the broadcast booth!
Argh!!!
GET OFF MY TV SET!!
bestwins on July 14, 2009 at 9:20 PM
At least he got it over the plate. Allstar game? meh. Wake me when two-a-days start.
bikermailman on July 14, 2009 at 9:20 PM
I’m surprised Obummer didn’t fly both Al and NL All-star teams to DC to play on the lawn…at the taxpayers expense of course. The only thing more boring than the All-star baseball game is Obama at the All-star game
Bevan on July 14, 2009 at 9:20 PM
The man who hates all things American has the freakin GD nerve to disgrace our national tradition.
I LOOOOATHE this creep!

annoyinglittletwerp on July 14, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Lot of silliness here at HotAir. The derangement quotient is very high in this thread. Baseball = America’s pastime. Presidents’ throw out first balls at big baseball games. Wow. Issue a friggin’ news alert. Boos? Yeah. Some of them politically motivated? No doubt. It’s a baseball game rocket scientists. He represented his team and wore a White Sox jacket. St. Louis fans DO NOT like the Chicago teams. Thus, many fans booed. I’m a conservative, but this place is a joke sometimes.
dakine on July 14, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Just saw a reply of the first pitch and the ball was going to be short until Pujols grabbed in before it hit the ground.
Nothing like a W toss, Obama pushed the ball in there instead of throwing it like a man.

Great Obama just said that he likes that there is “a lot of parity” in baseball,” today!
Socialism even applies to baseball!

He throws like a total sissy. I bet he bowls better than he plays baseball…lol! He should stick to basketball.
OxyCon on July 14, 2009 at 9:22 PM
You owe me a new keyboard.
Dakine, this is only the fourth time a President has thrown the pitch at an Allstar game. Just sayin’.
bikermailman on July 14, 2009 at 9:23 PM
The White House “piped in” applause over the loud speakers and the network coverage to cover any “boos” if they occurred……………..
………. What, you don’t think they would stoop that low?
Seven Percent Solution on July 14, 2009 at 9:23 PM
I missed that one. Too busy looking at the Cosmo issue that covered what sort of panties he wears when he goes on a date with Hugo Chavez.
guntotinglibertarian on July 14, 2009 at 9:23 PM
My husband is watching the game right now and they are showing more of him on tv than the game. That’s why I am on here I don’t want to watch him on tv.
Brat4life on July 14, 2009 at 9:23 PM
White Sox? Liberals, designated hitters, they go hand in hand. Somebody read the new version of whatever they’re calling the Fairness Doctrine bill to see if it also forces the DH on baseball teams that don’t need a crutch for their pitchers.
rihar on July 14, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Hey, he’s wearing a White Sox jacket. Can’t Mcleod file an ethics complaint?
bestwins on July 14, 2009 at 9:24 PM
He just said that we’re out of money again in the box.
V15J on July 14, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Your right dakine, it’s just like the nats having disdain for the Texas rangers, given the long standing rivalry
JVelez on July 14, 2009 at 9:24 PM
ya know one thing I hated about the last 8 years is how liberals would nitpick the stupidest shit about bush’s activities.. “omg he went golfing what an asshole!”, shit like that
if obama wants to throw out the first pitch, why should I care?
triple on July 14, 2009 at 9:25 PM
Ya know,the msm,wouldn’t even cover President Bush on
any press conferences!
Bill Clinton was on tv 24/7,and his operatives were
always busy shielding him!
And now,Hopey/Changey is TV!!
——————————————————
Again,its 1984!!
canopfor on July 14, 2009 at 9:25 PM
I expect to hear that Obama wants a special tax on everyone who plays on the winning team
Star20 on July 14, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Boos?
He keeps screwing up and next year, he’s going to need a kevlar batting helmet and flak jacket.
NoDonkey on July 14, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Reminds me of this guy.
Rhinoboy on July 14, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I can’t stand to watch this game anymore. Why the hell is Obama part of the commentary of the game? Throws the first pitch fine. But now he is a commentator? Please.
Lance Murdock on July 14, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I’m surprised they didn’t edit out the BOO’s. Is Team Barry slipping?
GarandFan on July 14, 2009 at 9:27 PM
And people wonder why I pushed so hard for McCain.
We got a few more years of The One everywhere, all the time.

HEY, YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. HE IS BEING BOOOOED BY A WHOLE STADIUM!

Dakine
I lived in St. Louis County 06-07 and my birthday was the day before the Dead-birds won it all.
I almost didn’t live to see another birthday being that the week prior I was wearing Cubs gear and vocally rooting for the A.L. team.
I learn plenty of new “hand signals” though.
LoL
annoyinglittletwerp on July 14, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Wait til they start their cars….
JetBoy on July 14, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Haven’t watched the video, is it Obama in the locker room before the game trying to be “street”? I kept expecting him to bust out with “it’s hard out here for a pimp”. And yeah, he throws like a girl*.
*my apologies to girls everywhere.
clearbluesky on July 14, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Nothin beats the mayor of cincinatti..
JVelez on July 14, 2009 at 9:29 PM
OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! Of all the dramatic things I have ever seen! Barrack Osama’s in the broadcast booth!
I had to stop watching the game, I was so disgusted. At least the idiot’s also a White Sox fan. That makes it even easier to induce vomiting.
Sign of the Dollar on July 14, 2009 at 9:29 PM
Yeah, the GOP hired people to boo him. He’s wearing a White Sox jacket…American League…St. Louis fans hate a team they might play in Inter League play??
God forbid they just can’t stand the asshole and what he’s doing to this country.
Yer a joke all the time.
BigWyo on July 14, 2009 at 9:29 PM
Obama’s team(White Sox) just happens to be the only team ever to fix a World Series.

In related political news, sarah palin patched some holes in her hip waders on her back porch today, before an audience of 2 squirrels, a dozen mosquitoes, and a moose.
Asked why she unexpectedly quit after repairing only one of the boots, palin spokesman meg stapleton insisted “it was what’s best for Alaska.”

……….. Scare Force One is sitting on a tarmac burning fuel in “stand-by” mode, the Secret Service along with support crew are all over the State, every Hospital within a hundred miles is on “stand-by”, the roads are closed and traffic detained until he leaves, we just hit a Trillion dollars in debt this year alone, North Korea, Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, and Al Qaeda are watching with a smile, Sotofinger is lying her ass off before the Senate, another 100,000 people just lost their job today,

Not only was there the Obama photo op but that had one of the men whose presidency his most closely resembles, Jimmy Carter, right before. I’m finding the World Series of Poker on ESPN to be more palatable.
