Seems to us that the American people want their President to be a manly man. Someone who can go toe-to-toe with Vladimir Putin. Somebody who can chop wood. Somebody who can fire a fastball down the middle of the plate.
Maybe that’s why there’s a bit of a correlation between the moment President Obama began slipping in the polls and the night he threw out that girly first pitch at the 2009 major league all-star game.
If that’s the case, then Charlie Crist, turncoat Republican and now Independent candidate for governor of Florida, assured his own defeat on Thursday when he threw out the first pitch at game two of the American League playoff game between Tampa Bay and Texas. It may have been the worst first pitches in the history of baseball.
Based on our previous experience with President Obama, it’s unfair to say that Crist throws like a girl. But it’s not unfair to say he throws like a Democrat.

LOL... How appropriate... He throws his crap to the right and leaves the ones catching a hard time with it.
Obama's golf swing is worse then his throwing motion. As for Crist, he should stick to the tanning bed & give up throwing out the 1st pitch anywhere.
Have u watched O Man ride a bike, like a terrified 2nd grade girl or his samara golf swing? Yes sir, but that guy has one cool swagger walking across the WH lawn. He's a manly man!!
This is actually entirely to easy to heckle...so in deference to Crist, I will keep it a Single A level heckle.
Charlie, you pitch like the plate is high and outside...maybe you are a lefty?
Very Obama-esque
BTW, from the batter's (voter's) viewpoint, he is HIGH and to the Left!!
He could teach his buddy Obama a few things. He made it to the plate, was to the right, and didn't show up in mom jeans. I always thought Charlie had the limp wrist!
