"Just a Regular Guy": Big, big White Sox fan can't name a single player
Obama lived in Chicago for 18 years and today claims to be a big White Sox fan: "I'm a South Side kid," he told the interviewer recently after "throwing" out the first pitch in Washington, D.C. Really? Obama was asked to name ONE of his favorite White Sox players. He couldn't do it, nary a one. Instead he bobbed and weaved and dodged the question while still referring to "Kaminsky Field," wherever that is. His excuse: he grew up in Hawaii where he followed the Oakland A's. Huh? I grew up in Denver, but I've lived in St. Louis about as long as Obama lived in Chicago, and I could manage to come up with at least one favorite St. Louis player off the top of my head. Ozzie Smith. There. Had Obama been asked to name ONE baseball player--go ahead, name one--my guess is he couldn't have done it.
This guy is such a fraud. He's about as big a baseball fan as he is a constitutional scholar. Don't mess with our baseball, Champ. Stay home and eat your expensive wagyu steak; the rest of us are happy to go the park and eat hot dogs. [And how soon will those be banned by Obama's Nanny State?]
The last time I was politically active was in the spring of 1970 when I was arrested with 300 other people in Washington Park, Denver, Colorado, for protesting the Kent State shootings. I've been forced out of "retirement" because of the narcissistic lunatic who has his sites set on making over our country into something I don't recognize.

Oh, and P.S. I've been proud of my country for my entire life, adult and otherwise, and I wasn't even handed someone else's seat at Princeton or Harvard.
P.P.S. Unlike Thomas L. Friedman, "brilliant [just ask him], award-winning" NYT's columnist, who believes the internet is "an open sewer," I myself am completely over-the-moon about the internet and its creative possibilities.
Flag of my grandfathers and fathers, uncles, brothers, and sons who fought for this country so that we can all speak our minds, so that no one in this country will be told to "sit down and shut up." And don't give me grief: I know this is the flag of the "mothers" as well. The mothers in my family stayed home and watched and waited and worked and buried their dead when they needed to. God Bless them all.
Gadsden Flag
Flag of my Denton and Campbell Revolutionary War-fighting ancestors. They never sat down, and they never shut up, and they would be ashamed of me if I stood by and watched Obama use his socialist agenda to trample the Constitution.
Frisian Flag
Flag of my Roorda and Hoekstra Dutch ancestors from the Province of Friesland, the Netherlands. My great-uncle and his wife, and other people in his community, received the Certificate of Honor from Israel for risking their lives during the Holocaust period to save persecuted Jews. Tell them to sit down and shut up? I don't think so.

I've come to the conclusion that he is a ghost. Scary stuff.
OMG- I've never seen that video before - that's the most pathetic thing ever.
Well, he didn't grow up playing baseball in Indonesia, that's for sure. Heh.
