Washington Nationals Shut Out By Atlanta Braves During Opening Day
Baseball is back! But Barack Obama was missing from the Opening Day festivities in Washington.
According to Michael A. Memoli of the Washington Bureau:
"Nationals Park will feature all the patriotic trappings one would expect on opening day for the national pastime in its capital city. Everything, that is, except for the president of the United States.
"Indeed, both the White House and the Washington Nationals say President Obama is skipping the Major League Baseball season opener, despite the standing invitation for the first fan to throw out the ceremonial first pitch."
There's no reported reason for his absence. However, it's probably okay to give the president a pass for missing opening day today. After all, there's turmoil in Libya, issues in Japan and problems in the MIddle East among other things to deal with.
But here's my own personal theory.
The POTUS is going through a little bit of stage fright. Last season, he was booed by fans for wearing a White Sox cap and kinda blew it with his opening day pitch?throwing the ball nowhere close to home plate.
No worries Mr. President, at least you can shoot threes!
