And the crowd went wild! Here's the video in case you missed it:
I have a feeling a lot of Americans watching at home tonight were feeling wistful as they watched the two former presidents, men of great character, enter the field.

Maybe Pelosi can throw out the first pitch when the series goes back to SF. Snicker

I hope Obama took note that you wear the jersey of the team giving you the honor of throwing out the first pitch. What an insult he inflicted toward the Nationals when he donned a ChiSox cap on Opening Day. And of course, unlike Bush, Obama threw a 55-footer.

If it whips up the crowd to help the Rangers beat the Giants, and helps draw father and son together, I'm all for it.

On tuesday we get to throw out the dems.
Barry would kill for a crowd to cheer like that. Maybe he should dub this in wherever he goes and play it inbetween prompter paragraphs to make him feel the love.

What do these three powerful 'courageous' politicians "of great character" have in common? When speaking truth to the power of the baseball superstars who loses, truth naturally.
Pelosi wildly supported Bobby Bonds Jr. even after it was revealed he was on steroids and committed grandjury perjury! Ditto for the Bushs! Bush (43) praised Palmerio, whom, he 'believed' didn't lie to Congress -President Bush said that even though Rafael Palmeiro apparently lied to Congress about taking steroids he's a friend and he is standing by him. After hearing this Karl Rove started wolfing down steroids." --Jay Leno
And Bush 41 telephoned Clemens, pledging his support for his good friend, Roger Clemens after the release of the Mitchell Report, before Clemens purjured himself in front of the Congress.

Poor Crickmore, If he couldn't whine he'd roll up in a ball and cry. Then his hero couldn't get a ball to home plate, should have called Moochelle out of the bullpen, she could throw the wimppy O'Dumbo over the stadium wall without effort.

I give credit to Bush 41. He certainly got around, scroll down; he even rubbed shoulders with the Babe, and he was probably a better baseball player than most politicians.

The only way barry could fill a small venue is to offer "stimulus" incentives to show up. Even then they'd show, grab the cash and scram. Dont blame them for barry is such a bore.

Right Galoob. Well they finished a good bit better than Barry's White Sox.
We could use a president whose downside outcome is equivalent to reaching the World Series. With obama we'll be in bankruptcy in the minors.

Actually, the Rangers are an apt metaphor. After Bush left they were taken over by an arrogant ass who drove them into bankruptcy.
In fact the new owners sank gobs of money into Alex Rodriguez, who promptly left. SO just like Barry they poured loads of money into activity that rendered nothing useful but left the organization in debt for years to come.

Hey galoob, how is it you even have time to post here?? Seriously, now that we are well beyond the "SUMMER OF RECOVERY" (!!!!!!) I would think that you would be so busy working and raking in the big bucks that you wouldn't have time to post.
"Summer of Recovery!!"

I can see November 2 from my house!!!
How about you galoob?

It was nice for a moment to recall what it was like to have a President instead of prancing, preening, posturing, pissy, petty peacock who throws like a girl.
For me the defining moment of Obama's presidency so far was when he had the rally for Democratic activists and exhorted them to get out and work hard, that the election was critical for his agenda, and that they needed to waste no time in getting out their message and their voters. Then he left to play golf.
No wonder the left is stuck on bashing Bush - how on earth could they defend their own man?
