1. quick question..
Edited on Wed Jul-15-09 01:03 PM by left coaster
The fellow seated behind the wheel of the cart.. could he possibly be Secret Service, or is he just not a big fan of Obama? I will excuse his lack of manners, if he is the former..


Edit:

OK, the guy in the back of the cart is definitely SS, so the driver of the cart is probably not.

2. I noticed that too! He seemed like he didn't even want to shake
hands with POTUS.

3. I'm eagerly awaiting all the pundits to have man-crushes...
Because Obama successfully pitched the baseball, just like they did with Bush.

Oh wait...
:rofl:

5. I wish the camerman would have got a better angle, I wanted to see its trajectory
and whether he threw a strike.

7. Boos?
The local Dallas paper said that Obama was met with cheering "and a few boos." I couldn't hear the boos over the constant eruption of cheering. Maybe it was only the reporter doing the booing?

10. There were boos
but consider that he's wearing a White Sox jacket, and that sports spectators don't like any intrusion into their game.
