Don't know much about baseball and Barry Bond

[question everything]

but... Senator Obama, if you are the President, will you invite him to the White House?

Yesterday you evaded the question that "he did accomplish this, yet" (or something..)

1. I think hitting all those home runs was a hard thing to do. AND

he should get praise. BUT I don't think they should be said to beat someone else's record. AFter all he took more games to do it. Hank Aaron hit more in less.

2. Id just as soon that he left his hard drugs in San Francisco. n/t

3. Steroids used to be legal; now with McGuire...

and other's testimony, Barry isn't alone as a 'suspect' user in the MSM. But last night he said the record wasn't "tainted" and if you believe in the fifth amendment if he says he didn't use the stuff then he didn't.

He did hit the ball and the 755 others just like it, over the fence. Steroids are probably something all these guys wish they never heard of especially after Congress' Oct 7, 2004 anti steroids act.

You can't take the record away from Bonds. Criky, even the alcohol fuelled Ruth's record may be considered the same way for that matter.

What ticks people off is that here in the Bay Area we love Barry and he's "family", just like he said last night. In St Louis, McGuire is considered "family" there too I'll bet.

5. Hell, I broke Barry's record when I was a kid

I stood at second base, tossed the ball up in the air, and swatted it over the fence, musta been a thousand times. Of course, nobody but me as a nine-year-old kid was there to witness it, but I valued the ball I used to break that record as highly as Bonds valued the ball he hit last night. And I'm willing to bet for the exact same reason.

4. Yep, he's a new kind of politician, isn't he?

It's the "politics of hope", alright. The problem is that it's the politics of Hope, Arkansas.

Cute though his laughing in the face of the questioner was (and that's PRECISELY what it was, flaunting the fact that he was dodging a question from Olberman) it'll come back to haunt him; he said that he wasn't commenting because the record hadn't been BROKEN yet. It will be, and probably soon. Human nature being what it is (not what Obama says it is or wants it to be) he'll be promptly asked, perhaps while the ball is still in the air.

This is smirking, old-style politics in the raw. Silly, silly, silly.

Much as he's adept at playing to the cheap seats, this guy's showing himself to be really tone-deaf in lots of ways, and his disdain for the sense and awareness of the commoners is striking.

So, will he invite him over or will he invade him? Stay tuned for his various answers and clarifications.
