Maybe He Should Have Watched More "West Wing"

I'm speaking of Obama, of course (h/t to Gateway Pundit for the video). Now some of you know I am a big baseball fan, as well as a big "West Wing" fan, along with other writers here (talking about you, Bronwyn!), so when I see this:



I think of this exchange:

Charlie Young: [telling the President that he has to practice throwing a baseball with a bullet proof vest on before throwing the first pitch out at a baseball game] Sir, everyone agrees.
President Josiah Bartlet: Like who?
Charlie Young: Leo, Josh, CJ, your wife, the Notre Dame athletic department...

Maybe Obama should have practiced more, too, since he barely made it to the plate - oh wait, the announcer doesn't mention that. Good thing there is THIS video that shows the entire pitch:



And he gives himself a little fist pump for barely making it to the plate, too!! Perhaps that's why some people are booing him? Oh, no wait - it started before he threw out the pitch. Funny, the announcer doesn't mention that, either. Did you notice the driver of the golf cart in the first video barely shook Obama's hand? Interesting commentary there, too, I think.

Since I mentioned the "West Wing," and since we are in the midst of hearings for a new Supreme Court Justice, how about this classic clip regarding nominees for the Supreme Court:



Ah, the politics involved in selecting the next Supreme Court Justice...

By the way, in response to my post recently on the grave robbers, a number of people mentioned that Michelle Obama's father was buried in Burr Oaks Cemetery, too. As it turns out, that was not true. Apparently, Michelle Obama's Communications Director put that out there without bothering to check the facts first (oh, now THERE'S a surprise - hahahahahaha), and has now had to retract that statement. Turns out, her father is not buried there after all. Gee, it is a little hard not to be too cynical about that revelation...
