Now is this because he took some heat for doing the NCAA Tournament Brackets, or because he throws like a wimp?

President Obama sits out Opening Day

“You know, a lot of folks focused on the fact that I filled out my bracket,” Obama said.

Watch Obama’s prior pitches. The 2009 pitch doesn’t show that the ball didn’t make it to the plate with Pujols positioned almost on top of the plate.

We are in three wars, and the economy is in the tank. People were bitching about his going on vacation when Japan and other things went down. I'm sure he is just hard at work.

Of course some people won't be satisfied no matter what in the blue hell he is doing.

What? The President of the United States not throwing out the first pitch to start the new baseball season? How will the 9 millionaires playing on each side be able to focus on their playing?

Ah, how I love to go out to the Ballpark in Arlington, built partly on land that was judicially taken away from 'ordinary folk' via eminent domain by Bush and Rose and company, and watch young men on steroids play baseball while earning millions per year!

And some people will lie, apologize,make excuses and minimize his incompetency no matter what.

I guess he's been busy lobbing bombs into other countries, he doesn't have time to lob a few on the baseball field.

It was always easy for Bush, he could concentrate on baseball while his handlers ran the country (into the ground)

Maybe baseball, just like apple pie, is just too "American" for him.

More likely the narcissist-in-chief's ego couldn't handled being boo'd when walking out onto the field. You know, with his approval ratings being at an all time low and all.....

I dunno. It didn't stop him from attacking Libya and then hoping on a plane with his family for Brazil.
