Sheesh!

Does this man have to stick his nose into everything that goes on in the world?

After Mark Buehrle pitched the 18th perfect game in major league history on Wednesday night, he received a phone call from Obama.

You could say that the the rest speaks for itself. And it speaks volumes.

From the Chicago Tribune:

Obama called the gem an “unbelievable achievement” and joked that maybe it happened because he wore his White Sox jacket while throwing out the first pitch at last week’s All-Star Game.

I hardly think that Obama’s girly-man throw was an inspiration for Buehrle’s stellar performance. But I suppose it does give hope to even the fattest couch potato that even they can throw a better pitch than the POTUS.

Also telling was a sentence later on in the article:

“Even when you’re pitching a perfect game, you still need help,” the president said. “That kind of team play is important. … That’s not how Washington has been doing things.”

Funny, I suppose that trying to set arbitrary deadlines and ramming through landscape-altering legislation without any debate is his idea of “teamwork”?
