Does anybody have the video of obamas pitch the other night? I heard he was 2 feet off and the catcher had to lunge to get it...and still didn't. Heard Obama pitches like a girl...anybody have the link for the entire pitch? They didn't show much on TV

1. Here's a link to the video
2. The catcher had to lean forward a little bit, but his feet never left home plate, and he caught it right before it hit the ground.
3. Obama is not a baseball pitcher. He probably did not play a lot of baseball growing up. Anybody who does not play baseball would struggle to get the ball to the catcher, especially walking out there cold and getting one shot at it.
4. How many strikes have you thrown on a major league-sized baseball field? I'm assuming you've accomplished this yourself instead of just talking out of your ass.

13 4826 0948 82695 25847. Yes.

Can't throw a baseball 60 feet? Clearly not a US citizen.
Course, none of the other PsOTUS were either.

As long as he didn't bounce it, I consider it a respectable pitch.

Does anyone recall the pitch Bush had against a 2002 or 2003 Texas Rangers Home opener where he wound up and the ball slipped from his hand and almost made it to the dugout?

He came damn close. He should be sending thank you notes to Pujols on a daily basis. If Pujols hadn't moved up and caught it when he did, that ball would have landed dead in the dirt.

I don't discount that. If you saw it live, the network had Obama centered in the frame so it obscured just enough of home plate so that if he had missed, people at home wouldn't have seen it live. Of course, that wouldn't have changed the highlight reels after the fact.

last night The Daily Show did a bit about this.
Fox News describes Obama's ceremonial first pitch at the All-Star Game, but it's absolutely not what the footage shows.
Jon: If you are going to just make shit up about what happened, maybe you shouldnt do it, while the tape that contradicts you is playing.
It made me LOL at the media bias
