Obama at the All-Star game!!

[NorthMNSledder]

It's a good thing he doesn't have a country to run or anything. I wonder how much it costs the tax payers to send him to the game !!


ST. LOUIS -- President Barack Obama will be in the Fox broadcast booth for Tuesday night's All-Star game.

Fox spokesman Lou D'Ermilio said Monday that Obama will join Joe Buck and Tim McCarver for the telecast from Busch Stadium but that the inning had not yet been determined.

Obama is scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, and Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols will be on the receiving end.

Well, isn't this whole presidential thing all just a game anyway? You'd think the way the media covers every move he makes and how he eats it up is like a fun little game. I'm surprised he didn't show up or take part in the whole Michael Jackson thing since CNN said one night that due to MJ's success is part of the reason Obama got elected. Just wait I have to go throw up now.

I'm sure G.W. and other Presidents have went to the All Star game on taxpayer dime too. I don't care for Obama either but at least be fair about it.

The position of President of the United States is becomes more like a king/monarch all the time. Living in royalty all the time while his "surfs" are struggling to make ends meet. It's BS IMO.

I don't like the guy either, BUT ...

When you're basically the CEO of the largest economy and military in the world, you get a few perks
