Throwing out the first pitch at the All-Star game wearing a Sox jacket. Awesome. And for me, a guy originally from St. Louis (a huge Cardinals fan), seeing this in St. Louis while Pujols is the guy to catch the ball... it's even more awesome.

 

What's cooler than the President being a Sox fan?

Thats cool, fans-

I want to see that picture. Hopefully tonight on BBTN

In a see of Cardinal red, among the greatest Cardinal players in history... that statement was pretty bad ass.

Now that was SWEET!!! I was just hoping he would come out in a Sox hat...but the Jacket!!! Over the top cool!!!

 

HELL YES!!!!

As a Sox fan we all know we dont get much respect nationally, but the leader of the free world throwing out the first pitch in a Sox jacket, on a national platform, is really awesome

That was awesome to see him in his Sox jacket... not to mention he didn't make himself look bad on the first pitch!!

that was awesome! esp bcuz buck said that he was a sox fan and some people booed obama for wearing a sox jacket and not a cards one

I HIGHLY doubt he was booed for his jacket. Without getting to political, his approval ratings are at an all time low.

 

 

Really cool to see him represent us though.

 

 

Also really cool Joe Buck referred to us as the "Sox" and not Boston.

Great to see the President in a Sox Jacket. I figured he'd wear an all star jersey, that was great to see, Go Sox and Go AL.

"And look who's warming up in the pen."

 

"About time!"

 

That was awesome.

Nice interview he had during that last inning.

 

What I don't get is that he was happy the NL got the lead...

Nah. I'm certain it was because he wasn't wearing a Cardinals jacket while throwing out the first pitch.

 

 

Awesome.

I knew he was a smart man.

while we may not have the most fans, we've got the most important one.

 

Nice clothing choice Mr. President!!!!

That makes no sense. Everyone knows he's a sox fan.

Maybe everyone in Chicago.

Keep politics out of this thread. That's what the Buster is for.

Maybe everyone in Chicago.

 

Out here nyc area they do. When ever I mention I'm a sox fan people ask me how long Obama has been a fan. Obama has not exactly hid his team allegiance you know.

 

Maybe they live under a rock in St Louis? I doubt they don't know he's a White Sox fan.

His approval ratings are at an all time low??? He's at 61% positive. Bush spent 2 years below 30%.

HIS approval ratings. I'm not talking about Bush, and we were just told not to talk politics in here.

That makes no sense. Everyone knows he's a sox fan.

 

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

 

It's an all-star game in St. Louis. All the dignitaries on the field were wearing Cardinals jackets... except Obama.

 

Fans didn't like it. I'm sure they were expecting him to 'respect' the home team by wearing something Cardinals related. He didn't and they booed.

 

Don't read more into it than that. Nobody boos the president at events like this for political reasons.

Except last year when Bush got boo'ed at the nationals home opener.
