President Barack Obama started the Washington Nationals baseball season with the ceremonial first pitch Monday. Dana Milbank writes at the Washington Post that Obama earned those boos. With perhaps a political pun, he analyzes the president's pitching skill and says the president threw "wild to the left," but keep in mind that Obama is actually left-handed.
Oh, this is America. We can boo the president.
Remember when Bush kicked off the Washington Nationals season in 2008? I think the boos were even louder than what President Obama received. And W. threw that baseball much better than he served his term.
In a separate story, WaPo has an historical overview of presidents pitching baseballs at this link.
