We know that President Barack Obama is passionate about his fantasy football team. He also campaigned on Monday Night Football about fixing the BCS. So maybe on Tuesday night, while he's sitting in the broadcast booth with Joe Buck and Tim McCarver for the 80th Major League Baseball All-Star Game, the sports savvy President can enact a law eliminating ties in the Midsummer Classic.Yes, Obama, who will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Busch Stadium to Albert Pujols, will head upstairs to spend an inning with Buck and McCarver at some point between the third and the fifth inning of the game. Live baseball doesn't lend well to teleprompters, so we'll see if President Obama stays on the color commentary side of the booth or tries his hand at a little play-by-play action.
In other presidential baseball news, every living United States president will take part in a video presentation to promote community service. Former presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, will join Obama in encouraging Americans into volunteer work within their communities. The video, which is a seven-minute tribute honoring All-Stars Among Us, captures the heroic contributions of 30 individuals to their communities.

Obama Misscutie promised to bring home the troops as soon as he was elected OOOPs the war in Iraq will end the same time bush said and so far the war in afghanistan he has made it bigger oh and the bombing in pakistan was an act of war and civilians still die Bushes war was voted on by the congress every year including the last two when the demos controled the money Maybe baseball needs higher ratings and more people in the seats but thats hard to do when mister do nothing don't hire people so they can go to the games

Well, so much for watching that game! I know its only an inning but I am boycotting the entire thing. Does the guy who spent two years running for ther White House ever spend any time in it? He's wasting more fuel flying all over the country. Earth to Obama. You won. The campaign is over.
