[BlooInBloo]

1. Bah. Fine. I'll watch the damn baseball game.

[HopeOverFear]

2. He's in the announcer's booth talking to the other two announcers

[Diamonique]

3. That was just so cool!

He was relaxed, and he knew what he was talking about.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. He looks so cool in those jeans!

Bet he really enjoys the game!

[Seen the light]

[Cha]

[sarah553807]

6. he's a charming guy

[saged52]

7. he's doing a better job

than Joe & Tim - easier to listen to and nicer to look at!

[Cha]

8. Since I've tuned in..all

I heard was the announcer saying.."We're here talking to President Obama..." and even that was heartening!

[HopeOverFear]

9. He ws so laid back in that booth LOL

[Cha]

12. Just having thrown a perfect pitch

[HopeOverFear]

[Jennicut]

17. So is this his next job after the Presidency? He is easier to listen to then Joe Buck

[AllentownJake]

18. Sorry to unrec

are you watching???? just didn't seem greatest thread worthy.

[cboy4]

19. I know. A politician talking at a baseball game.

:boring:

Huge unrec!

[AllentownJake]

20. Skinner is right the system is working

BTW for some reason, I thought about you today...someone had a similar avatar and was wondering where you have been.

[cboy4]

22. I know ... I like it. -- and I've been around kinda .. maybe not posting

quite, quite as much.

But this unrec "controversy" is like the roll-over accident on the freeway you just can't help but peek at as you drive by!

21. Okay, So Obama Goes To The Game... More Public Appearances...

Sorry to say, but I'm getting tired of seeing the "popularity game" being played out all over the place. Yes, he's charming and winsome and pleasing and all the rest, but just because he turns up at some event doesn't seem to me like it's what we elected him to do.

Good press, lots of exposure does keep him popular... but a popularity contest isn't going to get this country back on it's feet. I don't know, but what's the plan here? He's the President, not a movie star.

I'm trying NOT to be so negative, I want success, but is THIS how it's going to be achieved??? Going Ga-Ga over the fact that he's at a ball game falls a bit short for me.

[Cha]

23. I wanted him elected to use

his best judgment..he's been working hard and the All Star Game asked him to do it and he did it. There are a lot of us who were having fun with it.

Course, not everybody is the same.

[Jennicut]

24. He is no more exposed then any other modern President.

Perhaps its just the culture of today where anyone famous is on tv a lot due to 24/7 news networks AND then we discuss it later on in message boards. Better to see more of Obama then Palin, Michael Jackson (who I loved but come on now), etc.

[Cha]

27. I'm coming from a place

where we had 8 years of the corporatemedia pushing bush and the War on Iraq down our gullets in Orwelland..and now we have a reality based president who I really can't get enough of.

Not having been sure that this would ever really happen. I'm stoked!

[Cha]

29. Check this out, Jennicut!

"The 44th president threw out the ceremonial first pitch, something no one in office had done since Gerald Ford at the 1976 All-Star Game in Philadelphia, won by the NL at a time when it was dominating. It was important that he was part of this, because his call to public service by all Americans was the catalyst for the "Go Beyond" theme that pervaded this entire All-Star Week as well as the moving tribute to 30 winners of the All-Stars Among Us campaign."

31. I wanted to make Sure

you saw this!.. Hard to fathom how anyone could have a complaint about Public Service.

[ChiciB1]

26. To Each His Own... Political Unity & All??? n/t

[Colobo]

25. He's working hard to fix the Nation's problems.

Cut him some slack.

[DevonRex]

34. Politicians throw out first pitches. Nothing to get your knickers in a twist over.nt

[Captain Hilts]

28. Shit. I had to miss it. nt

[PVnRT]

32. He seemed to having fun up there

Despite McCarver braying like a fucking horse every 15 seconds.

[lunatica]

33. Meanwhile that popping sound is George Bush's jealous head exploding

Ha-ha-ha! And a sweet sound it is!
