Good Grief: Obama’s a Fake White Sox Fan… Can’t Name One Baseball Player from White Sox (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on April 6, 2010
Guaranteed that all these boys can quickly name their favorite major league baseball player, even 30 years from now... but Pres. Obama can't
Question: How many men can name their favorite baseball player from their youth, especially if they’ve said they were a big-time fan of that player’s team?
Answer: All. Unless you’re the President of the United States of America. And you were being a huge phony about being a fan in the first place.
Is there nothing this man won’t lie about?
From Gateway Pundit, Phony Sox Fan Obama Can’t Name a Single White Sox Player (Video):
What an absolute shock.
White Sox super-fan Barack Obama couldn’t name a single player from Sox history yesterday during an interview after his sissy pitch.
Of course, this surprises no one.
Pres. Obama Can’t Name Any ChiSox Players?
From Chicago Sun-Times, President Barack Obama not quite a White Sox expert:
President Barack Obama wore a White Sox cap during his ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals game yesterday, but before any rabid Pale Hose supporters get too excited about it, they should know he had a bit of a problem naming any player by name.
The first fan was interviewed during the game’s television broadcast by former Sox pitcher Rob Dibble, who asked the president about his favorite players on the South Side growing up.
This is was the point that the usually eloquent Obama began stammering.
“You know uh ….. I … I thought that … uh …. you know,” Obama stalled. ” … The truth is a lot of the Cubs I like too! But, uh … I did not become a Sox fan until I moved to Chicago. Because I uh …. I was growing up in Hawaii so I ended up actually being an Oakland A’s fan.”
Yes, he did also call it “Cominskey Park.” That, apparently, is something he does regularly.
One could make the case that Obama’s point was that he didn’t become acquainted with the Sox until later in his life, but I’d imagine most fans would have liked him to spit out, oh, uh, at least one player’s name.
Since POTUS clumsily backpedaled on the question, I’d like to know which player was his favorite from the Oakland A’s… and no, the correct answer, Barack, is NOT Saul Alinsky.
From Back Porch FanHouse, President Obama, White Sox Fan, Can’t Name Favorite Player Growing Up:
Last week, Barack Obama hooped it up with CBS basketball analyst Clark Kellogg, yesterday he threw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals opener, and then he made his way to the MASN booth to talk baseball with the Nats television guys, Bob Carpenter and Rob Dibble.
If you had to make a list of people in this country who could stump the president on just about any subject, Dibble would rank somewhere in the 300 millions. And yet there he was doing just that Monday afternoon. The question that caused Obama to stammer?
“Having played with the White Sox for a short time I know how the Cubs fans and the White Sox fans go back and forth. Who was one of your favorite White Sox players growing up?”
More commentary on yesterday’s hideous pitch…
This from Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue…
The last time the president threw out a first pitch was at the All-Star Game last year, which was notable, mostly because he was wearing his famous mom jeans when he did it.
Wisely, the president decided to donate those lady pants to the Smithsonian. And today, he sported a pair of gray slacks. The pants were better, but the pitch wasn’t. That was more like a free throw than a pitch. Maybe his pitching power was stored in that pair of mom jeans, and now, like Samson without his pony tail, his strength is gone.
Commentary about the girly 2009 pitch, from Gather, Barack Obama Booed at MLB All-Star Game!:
President Obama threw the first pitch at last night’s MLB All-Star Game. But all threw the introduction of Obama stepping out on the field, the large crowd started to boo him. After the pitch the booing got louder! But from what I heard from fans is that President Barack Obama threw a pretty decent pitch to the catcher. Hmm, interesting.
But, a few baseball enthusiasts that know how to pitch said that he threw like a little girl, and noted that Obama’s pitch didn’t make it all the way to the home plate. So from my understanding Obama could have great form but doesn’t know how hard he’s suppose to throw the ball. President Obama definitely cannot compare to the strike George W. Bush threw in 2001.

LOL Wasn’t that the funniest thing? I heard this on Levin last night. It was a very poor and obvious dodge by TheOne.
No mention of him not wearing is Mom Jeans this year either! LOL But talk about a girly pitch! That was funny too. Do you suppose he practiced at home before he got there?
LOL – I think I read that he had help practicing, but obviously, he never played baseball as a boy. Too busy reading up on Karl Marx, I imagine…

COMINSKY Park! Are you kiddin’ me? It’s Comiskey (now U.S. Cellular) Park! Further proof that this guy is a fraud.
He’s a punk and a poser. Come on Barry. Ozzie Guillen dumb ass. Rob Dibble will be punished for this ya know. He made Stimpy look bad. What an embarassment to the country. Like he’s this big cocky athlete basketball player, come on please. Ive never know a true athlete basketball player that throws like that. Do us all a favor and stay off the baseball field, punk.
And ironically, he was being interviewed by Rob Dibble. Talk about adding insult to ignorance…
What a putz & a liar.
So, why did mainstream media run with it when Sarah Palin didn’t list the magazines she reads, yet Obummer can’t even name one of his baseball heros, and we don’t hear about that on lamestream media. Journalists are going the way of the dodo bird…
