Newsday Reports President Obama Was Booed

There were some mixed reactions when President Obama came out to throw the first pitch during the Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday night.

This is from Newsday.com:

ST. LOUIS – He didn’t quite invite comparisons to the game’s starting pitchers. But President Barack Obama reached home plate, just barely, as the nation watched.

In the jacket of the White Sox, his favorite team, Obama unleashed a shaky ceremonial first pitch to Albert Pujols to kick off the All-Star Game last night at Busch Stadium. The crowd displayed its political leanings with a smattering of boos as Obama took the mound; in comparison, President George W. Bush, appearing in a pregame video, received a thunderous ovation.

It’s worth noting that President Obama was in St. Louis and he was wearing a Chicago White Sox jacket (in a rival city). Chicago is not going to be too popular in St. Louis when it comes to baseball (ask the Cubs).

It’s Funny Watching Republicans Go Overboard Trying To Slam President Barack Obama

It’s laughable reading about the morons who pollute Fox Nation exploiting the Major League Baseball All-Star Game to take a weak cheap shot at President Obama. This is just another example of how pathetic some of the right-wing dummies are to criticize his throw of the first pitch on a night when everyone else was coming together and saluting everyday heroes (including President George W. Bush, President George H.W. Bush, President Bill Clinton and President Jimmy Carter). While everyone else was coming together, the Neanderthals in the GOP (beginning with the idiots on Web sites like Fox Nation) continued to bash with impunity).

I guess this reach is only natural since the GOP is striking out in its effort to smear Judge Sonia Sotomayor in her confirmation hearings. By now, the GOP had hoped she would live up to their prejudice beliefs that she was not intelligent and that she had a bad temper. Sotomayor has proven them wrong on both of those counts while also proving to be perhaps more charming and engaging than they had anticipated.

I would encourage people to go visit the Web site and see the hatred coming from those on the far right of the political spectrum coming off an event when the rest of us were coming together.

It’s just the same old thing from those great Americans turning Fox Nation into the toilet bowl of right-wing propaganda on the Internet. I only say that because Fox Nation, like Fox News, is dishonest about its right-wing bias.
