Scarborough mocks Obama baseball pitch as "a bit dainty"

Scarborough would have thrown the ball toward second base.

Weeeeeeeeeee, Joe Scarborough right to FoxNews Channel, the 'tabloid newschannel' of cable tv. LOL

Obama said last night that he never played organized baseball as a child...I guess he was busy studying Marxist philosophy in a Muslim country. It is therefore understandable why his pitching form may not meet the standards of someone, such as Joe Scarborough, who grew up playing baseball like REAL American kids do. The bottom line is, do we really know Barack Obama? ;>)

A fat angry white guy who murdered an intern sitting behind a desk all week whining about how somehow else throws. Really, Joe? You want to go there, tubby?

When I was a little kid, my mother used to watch the "Today" show in the morning, I was bored out of my mind and thought the grown-ups were talking about the dumbest things. I never turn the TV on in the morning unless there is a weather or national emergency. I see that I am not missing anything. Okay, so President Obama throws baseballs and bowling balls like a girl, so what! The last time I looked, we didn't hire him for his athletic prowess, we hired him for his political savvy. This point is proved by the way but the juxtopposed footage of President Bush throwing a pitch in much better style. Well, on second thought, maybe we should use it as a test, after all. If he throws like a girl vote for him and if he throws a great fastball contact a team scout but don't vote for him.

So is that one guy going to have Obama pitch instead of Barney Frank?

Barack Obama has had is eye on the Presidency of the United States since 2007. Since, he has had to convince a whole country that he many things including (but not limited to):
1: Being a natural born citizen.
2: A christian.
3: That he didn't "pal around with terrorists."
and
4: He didn't cause the deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson & Billy Mays.

Now we have just learned the ugly truth, that President Obama has also been trying to convince us (and the world) that he is left handed. The video doesn't lie...have any right handed people thrown a baseball with their left hand? Or how about bowling with a blowing ball? It is interesting to know that most, if not all people, are afflicted with this "Morning Joe dainty" syndrome.

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me--can't get fooled again

Not that any of this matters, but Obama is throwing from the top of the pitcher's mound. In the Bush video, it looks like he's throwing from the front of the mound... ten feet closer.

Again, does it really matter? Richard Nixon was pretty good with a yo-yo...

Here would be how a "man" throws out the first pitch. From the the top of the mound.

What we saw last night was a school girl.

C'mon, whaddya expect from a guy who puts dijon mustard on a hamburger?!

Actually several of my friends who joined softball leagues as adults and never played baseball as kids all throw kind of awkwardly. I guess it's a muscle memory kind of thing.

This is such a non story. I guess MM included it to show that no detail, no matter how petty, will fail to elicit criticism from the Right.

As a former college ball player I thought Obama did fine. He obviously never played baseball before which is is also fine. Obama in the booth was the best part of the game. The guy can't throw a fast ball but he can hit a jump shot. Screw Scarbrough, Obama did great. And I played ball for Joe's alma mater.

It was actually a decent throw. At least he got it over the plate which is not the case a lot of the time. I'm waiting for someone to say, "That was a pretty good throw Obama made. He's got a good arm. You know who else had a pretty good arm? Fidel Castro!"

Wingnuts are also saying President Obama was roundly booed. Check out manly Geteway Pundit for more hilarity.

The GOP talking heads are getting/have gotten to a point in which their statement almost too childish for a response. I'd love to see a video of Ronald Reagan back in the day, throwing out the first pitch, he must have had wicked 98MPH fastball. Can you but imagine how great a bowler George Washington would have been?
