President Says He 'Absolutely' Practiced Two Hours Before Throwing Wild Pitch

[skyflyer900]

Obama is athletic and can defiantly throw better than that. I wouldn't doubt it if throwing a crap throw was some kind of political PR strategy.

[philipem01]

That was not a "wild" pitch. It was a high pitch. And many could practice all day and night for a week and not pitch any better. It's no more proof of a lie than Kate Gosselin dancing badly on DWTS. She practiced too.

[hatfisc]

@philipem01 Have you ever tried to throw a little white ball only sixty feet? Would two hours of practice give anyone a handle of volocity vs. gravity? Are you male or female?

[philipem01]

@hatfisc I think you think I am criticizing Obama but I am not, I am saying he told the truth. I played shortstop for my HS varsity for four years. Two hours of practice is not enough for anyone to have any kind of control. Well maybe some guys would be natural enough. And it was not a wild pitch/

[hatfisc]

@philipem01 lol, I didn't think you criticizing but sympathizing. He didn't have to throw a 90 mph fastball or anything. All he had to do was not embarass himself. Lofting a ball 60 feet without killing a bird or a worm isn't a tough task........for a man.

[luubho]

its not about whether he can throw a pitch or not. This vid just shows that the man can lie through the skin of his teeth. see how confident he was when he said absolutely? yet he fails to deliver jsut like all his policies and presidency.

[stonerbudkap]

More bullshit.

[cghgrn123]

Check and see if he has pink under ware on

[mrcartoonmusicvideo]

good one. pitch to the far left

[Dietcoke20009]

Really? He threw a pitch the back catcher almost missed.. big woop.

[ObaManure]

Its just that he's just been practicing deception a whole lot longer

[MidnightChimes]

He should have beaned the Mascot.

[boredstephanie]

wow he can't throw a baseball. big deal. He's the politician not an baseball player.

[soundsliketruck]

How could he throw so fucked up?

[sinecurve9999]

some politicians are just not baseball players

[wontwice]

tpmtv has a conservative bias, fuck u tpmtv

[TiTSxxMcGEE]

this video clip is done to show his ego.

of course he has ego. as prez he'd have to be a god damn socraties to not have an underlying ego

[leland0t0013]

Maybe its okay he wont be using the nukes. Everything he touches always backfires on us the people anyway.

[wowamonn]

@leland0t0013 Can you provide some examples?

[captquest1]

I f only we knew this before the election.

[Howtogetfreesoftware]

@captquest1 lol that means bush is the best prez evar

[1129mdw]

@CongWhitePowerCaucus You have to be from /b/?

[CongWhitePowerCaucus]

@1129mdw, How about we do this?

I tell you where I'm from & YOU tell me where your from?

Me first: I'm from New Castle, Pennysylvania...let me guess?

Here's the part where you liberal IDIOTS smear this part of country as a bunch of racist, unsophisticated, red-necks?

[1129mdw]

@CongWhitePowerCaucus I wish them luck in doing so.

[wtfoof]

@CongWhitePowerCaucus, We don't have to say anything, your words in the below post already made that clear enough.

[Bolgernow]

Nice hat, bad sock arm. Who cares, keep fixing the country! Don't care if you can throw a quality slider or not...

[JayPhilosopher]

I've seen relief pitchers making 10 million dollars a year come in and throw pitches worse than that. I've seen them do it after throwing 20 warm up pitches just before coming in, not 2 hours before.

[entropyfu]

my local fox news reporter commented on how far to the left he threw.

[RoseSkye]

@entropyfu

You gotta admit... thats a good one.

[shalcall]

@entropyfu I'm as liberal as they come, but that was funny.

[akusuijin]

@entropyfu That needs 100 thumbs up. That's a good one

[mcpeepants2008]

If they had him throwing the opening jump shot it would have been money.

[Lerakon2]

Who cares, baseball is a redneck sport anyway.

[badgerdog6]

@Lerakon2 So a ghetto sport is stealing television's from the local Korean's store? Thanks

[jchittwood]

what an embarrassment to all the little school girls out there....

[FortunateSon87]

ahah! so he is a liar! wasn't sure till now

[strideninja]

C'mon Obama! Everybody knows that owning a baseball team gives you the greatest degree of experience and knowledge in the fields of selling away your country to multi-national corporations.

[nongo]

Obama should do free throws

[thinice2k]

its okay Mr. President, bush took his eyes off the ball in Afghanistan.

[MissNophi2U]

he thought it was a tiny basketball, he got confused. lol.

[7DAVE711]

Yeah...he's good. Uh huh. At least Bush could throw.lol

[boots920]

What would you expect from an Usurper than can't even provide proof of his citizenship.

You baseball fans all in on the deception I see more suffering to follow.

Look at the gold price its not stable because the morons are counterfeiting money.

You folks just end up dead...

[btc8128]

@boots920 LOL!

[btc8128]

@boots920 gold went down, oil went up

[boots920]

@btc8128

Gold should be $20 US how come its $1100 and climbing and unstable.

Federal Reserve note is being counterfeited into 0 value. The market doesn't lie.

[shalcall]

@boots920 Gold should be $20? Where you'd pull that number out of, your ass? Even when the U.S. dollar was pegged to gold prior to 1971 it was $35 per ounce. Now which do you think is rising faster, our production of gold, or the world's population? As the pop rises, what do you think happens to the price of gold?

Unless some scientist discovers how to make gold out of ocean water, it will probably continue to rise in price over the long term.

[boots920]

@shalcall

Gold should be $20? Where you'd pull that number out of, your ass?

Ahh no Face Value of double eagle (gold is money because you can't COUNTERFEIT IT like you can with PAPER MONEY.

Did the world's population quadruple in 10 years to match the price of gold , nope.

Means the American fucks are counterfeiting PAPER GOLD.

[shalcall]

@boots920 the value of an item isn't always linearly correlated with the increase in population. For instance if I have enough food to keep 1 person alive for one day, and for some reason I now have 2 people that doesn't mean the food simply doubles in price. Because it's worth someone's life that food could be close to priceless, even though there is now only 1 extra person competing for the food.

But you keep your simplistic view of the economy. Fortunately smarter men are in charge.

[boots920]

@shalcall

I agree if the US dollar wasn't world reserve there would be nothing to worry about.

Since it is world reserve and equivalent to the value of the Zimbabwe dollar you have plenty to worry about.

Precious metal markets have been systematically manipulated for decades, the people holding PAPER certificates are about to lose all their wealth.

Article 1 Sec 8 and 10 - so the government doesn't counterfeit you into worm meat. (Not since 1971 right ?)

[shalcall]

@boots920 All I can tell you is that you go ahead and hoard your gold and silver and I'll keep my paper certificates and trade them for ownership in profit making companies, bonds, and some real estate and we'll see who ends up ahead.

[boots920]

@shalcall

Scotia Macotta has leveraged their paper certificates to physical 100:1.

Its a ponzi , don't believe me turn in a 500 oz silver certificate, see if they can meet delivery. Its another paper promise of value right ?

Listen to the King's world interview, there's no physical to back up the paper.

I took deliver two years ago and there were problems ?

[baddmanaz]

if he could pitch well, the conservatives will probably label him as a cuban communist.

[7DAVE711]

@baddmanaz You are exactly right !!! He is!!

[7DAVE711]

@baddmanaz

[7DAVE711]

@baddmanaz You are right...he issssssss!!!!

[baddmanaz]

@7DAVE711 ¡ay, caramba! i rest my case.

[SLAVEforLISA]

That look looked like an Eephus curve ball. It almost broke back over the plate. Obama throwing curves again.

[yelobmx]

but bush couldn't bounce a basketball

[srhabb]

I cant believe it, even Bush threw a better pitch than that.

[PersonalJesus348]

Its not his game. Let him do an opening tip off in basketball ;)

That's change I can believe in

[voyeurdug]

If ANY President were able to throw a perfect strike, his or her press and/or political advisors would advise to throw high & outside...

[HeathrowSurveillance]

This is why he's a politician and not an athlete.

[commandolam]

epic win

[savior02]

hes a worse president than he is a pitcher

[jjgreek1]

Thank you President Obama for saving this nation from the disasterous Bush and Republicans. Thank you President Obama for being an inspiration to millions in the USA and around the world. Thank your Mr. President for universal healthcare, for saving our economy and for defeating the Taliban. Thank you Mr. President for restoring prestige to the Office of the Presidency and to the USA around the world!

[whoo689]

Of course, this isn't nearly as bad as when he went to Ray's Hell and was filmed ordering a freaking BURGER. A burger, for christ sake.

[Truthiness231]

Meh...

[whoo689]

Oh, boy. Another stupid presidential photo op. "Oh, golly! Look, mom, Obama's pitching!" big whoop. I remember when Bush did this kind of thing, and it was just as dumb.

[CynicalSavior]

@whoo689

Every President since Taft has thrown out an opening pitch.

[GWHH19]

rush is right. he a girly man man child!

[GWHH19]

geeze, not like he has anything else to do. like run the nation

[thehoaxbuster]

At least Bush could throw a solid strike.

[ryanmail2004]

that was one sexy catch!

[watcherjohnny]

Clearly an allegory for his policies.

[Waranle]

What the fuck, come on hey anyone can throw a boll, but the way he throw was horrible shit, maybe he want to create drama, yea i know something these rightwin right to talk about the next few weeks, lol smart Obama.

[atripa645]

@Waranle What language are you speaking? lol

[akusuijin]

@atripa645 Ah, that's seriously funny, but I have to point out that Waranle is Swedish, and also, typing. Not speaking. Your comment made me laugh my ass off, though.

[JBeatty17]

Obama should learn from his hero-MJ- and stick to basketball.

[EmpathyWorks]

rofl@ OBAMA

...Good thing hes a much better president than he is a baseball player!!!

NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION ANYONE?!?!?! :D

[1stAmendmentChannel]

Was that a pitch-out?...lmao

[someperson111]

That pitch was quite horrible. Wow that onewas bad.

[Visfen]

Doesn't the media have anything better to do? Like to talk about the new student loans program that will drive costs for college even higher? Just something that is actually relevant and not just politician gossip. I don't, and neither should anyone, care if the president can't throw a ball.

[integral]

So baseball is the great American pastime, Obama can't pitch a baseball, ipso facto - he's a Kenyan socialist who wants the terrorists to win!!!

[Ezekiels1]

@integral whoa.... where do I begin? America's pastime nearly died a horrible death until there was conspiracy and back turning to unparalleled steroid abuse... Nice attack!

[CongWhitePowerCaucus]

@integral, Amen to that!

Stupid Obama bin Nigger is not Only a Kenyan Socialist, but he's also a LIAR.

There's no way in hell he practiced for two hours.

But then again, since he's not a real American, it makes sense he's not very good at America's Past-Time!

[lizardgizard2002]

@CongWhitePowerCaucus Now you arent a crazy right wing racist are you lol.

[Churchx77]

Wait wait wait, a politician is not a professional athlete? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

[americanmuslimgirl]

@Churchx77

:D

laughed out loud

and

@integral

Well, he's also not black enough if he can't even do sports. All he knows how to do is teach constitutional law at harvard!! Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. What has the world come to?

[BJBlitzstein]

Many Presidents fail to reach home plate. His throw was much more athletic than most. The "first-pitch" was the best thing about W's two terms.

[whiteMeffer]

no wonder why republicans arent willing to play ball with him XD

[PhillyWargamer]

This clearly proves he is a socialist.... not

[fret2424]

Slow news day?

[superset5]

yowza. definitely needs more practice.

[JerezJulio]

how can someone can play basketball relatively well, and be such wimp in all other sport?

I bet Obama can play Chess well.

[UltraSWG]

@JerezJulio How the hell does playing basketball make you a good pitcher? You obviously don't play any sports.

[Reqrezentin]

Honesty xD

[TheVMFA333]

that's a strike in D.C.

[RobertSeattle]

On the flip side, if he had thrown at 90 mph strike Fox News would be bemoaning how the President Obama is wasting his time practicing pitching.

[BlackKingX]

Why can Obama only play Basketball?

It's like the only sport he's good at.

[avalsonline]

hey, not everybody is a bo jackson

[10thAngel]

OH MAH GOD! HE CANNOT THROW A BALL! HE MUST THE ANTICHRIST! CAN'T HAVE SOMEONE IMMORAL AS HIM AS OUR PRESIDENT CAUSE IM AN AMERICAN!

*choughs* joking aside, Waiting inpending critcique from FoxNews, overblowing it and going "WE ARE ALL LAUGHING AT HIM, HE'S A BIG JOKE!" or something similar.

[gallomex13]

Basketball sir stick to Basketball

[neobeetle]

Need more practice......

[octoberseven]

He would probably walk a shit ton of batters, but I bet Obama could get a no hitter easily.

[AdamEtheredge]

Crap! Looks like a pitch I'd throw....

[fiddlerthh]

so the tebaggers were right all along!! this guy IS a radical leftie! har har

[RJhasFLOW]

@fiddlerthh Corny. Lmao though.

[scbluesman13]

@fiddlerthh

good one =P

[gallomex13]

@fiddlerthh got JOKESSS!!! :)

[skyzefawlun]

So what he can't pitch... name another country that has a president that can dunk ;)

[greyflcn]

@skyzefawlun

Any post that makes me audibly chuckle gets an upvote :)
