First of all, 0bama looks like he has never thrown a ball in his life, he palmed it and tossed it, not pitched it, like small children do when playing catch for the first time.

Secondly the plaer catching the toss was not the team's catcher, was squating in front of home plate, and the toss went way short, and bounced. so much for the great athlete the press has pumped him up to be.

Give the man a break. When you surround yourself with a couple of sissy munchkins (Geitner and Emmanuel) and live in a house full of girls, do you really expect him to break bad like Nolan Ryan? He has very little opportunity to practice in that environment!

It was funny though how Fox only showed the view of his pitch from the side of the mound, the viewers couldn't see how far the ball went.

Later all of the commentators on CNN were ooohhing and aahhing over how well the "strike" was.

Chris Matthews even had another tingle up his leg.
At least someone was smart enough to make sure he did'nt wear a Cubs jacket in the Cardinals stadium. He would've REALLY been booed for that!
