And so there I was, jacked back in my favorite sofa, cold soda in hand, and tuned in to the World Series baseball game. Oh man, it don’t get any better than this I thought as I began clearing my head of all the doldrums of the day. When all of a sudden, the game was hi-jacked.
There on the screen of my new 36” Sharp HD TV was none other than, you guessed it, Barack Hussein Obama. My night was possibly now in ruins. I mean I see this goof everyday of every week, and have for months on end. And here he was at one of my favorite events. Well, I reasoned that it was just a taped spot shown in advance of the game and so I guess I could live with it this once.
But it doesn’t stop there, no. Not only was our current super-hero president, the answer to all the worlds ills, pre-taped telling us how we need to give, but following him I had to tolerate a mini-speech by young Bush, Clinton, old Bush and then the second worst president in history (drum roll please) Juma Cautah. Betcha you want to know who the worst president in history is, huh? Oh, if you don’t know, you’ll know soon enough folks.
Well, I endured that little CBS stunt because, well, because I love baseball doggone it. And besides, there were 4 or 5 Tigers that would be playing tonight, you know? And besides, they could have really ruined the game by throwing in Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi for an unannounced appearance. That just might have put me over the edge for sure, with a possibility of my committing hara-kiri.
So, I just remained calm and tried to settle in for a good American league versus National league All Star game, despite the unsettled feeling in the pit of my gut. But just when I thought I was in the clear and everything was under control… oh yeah, you guessed it. Who trots out to throw the ceremonial “first pitch”? BHO!
Well now I’m getting a little concerned because just how much is a guy supposed to take? Everyday, TV, newspapers, magazines, internet. I mean come on, can we have a break already! There just has to be something that the big O will not get his face into. He’s starting to remind me of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. You know, anywhere and anytime there’s a camera?
Well, I turned my head and took a big swig of my pop and when I turned again, thank goodness he was gone. Yeah, back to the game, man!
First inning action, American league up to bat. With Tim Lincecum pitching for the National league you know it’s going to be good.
First batter walks up to the plate and he’s ready for action, and so am I. All of a sudden no more was the first strike called when it happened. I was blindsided again. Third time now. Sucker punched so hard that recovery was impossible. To my amazement and disbelief there, in the announcers box was… you guessed it, BHO.
Now, I’m a reasonable man. And I can endure about as much abuse as anyone else. I’ve put up with this man for approximately 2 years, and now this? My favorite past time, America’s favorite past time should not have to suffer like, well like our economy is suffering. We watch this to forget about the economy Health scare, Cap and Tax, just to name a few of our problems.
I watch baseball to forget. You know, the doldrums of the day. The constant rumblings and rabble of daily politics’ and all. I just chill out and let my mind float to a better time. A time when I was young. I lived for the game. If you’ve ever watched Field of Dreams, or The Rookie, you know what I’m talking about.
Well, I slowly picked up my trusty remote and hit that red off button with real purpose folks. That was the camel that broke the straws back. It was déjà vu all over again. It was murder I tell yay! If they dare put this guy’s face on any of our money I’ll move!
But, I have to admit when I couldn’t stand it any more I turned the thing back on. You know, check out the score. Maybe catch my favorite Tigers playing.
Well, I watched the American team win. And my Tiger, Curtis Granderson helped win it for them with a triple off the wall with one out. Next batter, sacrifice. 4-3 American league, yay!
Of course they pick a MVP, and interview him. And what was a great moment for this player and us, the fans, what does this announcer ask?
Hey, I bet you really liked talking with, oh man.. BHO. #%**#
And on that note, goodnight Irene!
