Can you imagine if Sarah Palin said “Cominskey Park” and flubbed softball White Sox question?
The “Southside kid” can’t come up with the name of a single Chicago White Sox player, though he takes great pains to mention that he lived by “Cominskey” (sic…double sic) Park…
He’s phonier than one of the faux vegetables from Michelle Obama’s garden.

Can you imagine if Sarah Palin or George W. Bush had flubbed the softball question like the Gaffe Machine-in-Chief?
Jimmie Bise: “President Obama’s Favorite Baseball Player Is…Well, Bring A Lunch. This May Take a While.”

Obama’s been getting the name of his supposed favorite ballpark wrong for years. Flashback July 16, 2009:
President Obama’s lordly attitude and effete bearing would be more than welcome there than on hard-edged 35th Street, but no doubt he wishes to keep his manufactured South Side “cred” and remains aligned with the White Sox. He may wish to brush up on the former name of where his beloved Sox play, though – it used to be Comiskey Park, not “Cominskey Field” as he told Bob Costas.
Really, it does not matter in the long run if our president is neither an exceptional athlete nor even a casual fan of some team in his adopted hometown. But be up front about it; don’t try cheap tricks using a compliant media and assume prominent residence in a group with which you are unfamiliar and attempt to relate. It stinks of emptiness and desperation.
Actually, it just stinks.

» Barack Obama: Can we call him a Socialist now?
Cominskey….Alinsky….hard to break old habits, I guess.
In all fairness, he probably was just thinking about Alinsky when he called it “Cominskey.”
http://www.AntiObamaSticker.com
Isn’t there a Kaminski park in Obama’s Home Country? Sorry, had to do it. Maybe they’ll retroactively “deem” the current stadium (US Cellular Field?) Kominskey field to make Obama feel better.
I do give him credit for abandoning the mom-jeans. Maybe next year he’ll learn to throw. Or admit his incompetence and resign.
What are President Obama and the sleeping watchdog media trying to distract us from with this? The nuclear disarmament?
“HAHAHHAHAHA SARAH PALIN IS SO DUMB WHAT A DUMB DUM-DUM WHO IS DUMBER THAN DUMB IS DUMB.”
Yeah, I’d be hearing that a lot among my social e_circles.
Obama throws like a girl; Palin pitches like a man.
All image and no substance…empty suit.
On the bright side, it didn’t take 17 minutes to finish his non-answer.
Obowmao: Baseball been berry berry good to me! Keep yo eye on de ball!
What a dork. Communiskey… whatever. It’s OK if he doesn’t like baseball but if you’re going to fake it you better do your homework. He’s so used to soft interviews he forgot that some responses actually require an intelligent answer. A classic self-inflicted wound that demonstrates his egomaniacal nature and tendency to fly by the seat of his pants – not a good trait for any leader.
Neidermeyer: Dress that line. Dress that line, mister! Dress that line, soldier. Mister, hold my mount. [to Obama] You skinny, disgusting slob! You’re a goddamned disgrace!
Boon: [watching from afar] A vicious mother, isn’t he?
Otter: He can’t do that to our pledges.
Boon: Only we can do that to our pledges.
Neidermeyer: [to Obama] Redo those buttons! Dress that belt buckle! Straighten that cap! And goddamn it, tuck up those pyjamas! Attention! Eyes front! What’s that on your chest, mister?
Obama: It’s a pledge pin, sir.
Neidermeyer: A pledge pin! On your uniform?
Back home in Kenya, de don’t play dis ball, like Michelle say…
Dibble made the mistake of assuming the President was genuine when he said he was a “Southside kid.” Someone needs to make sure that even sports broadcasters get the memo that you’re just supposed to nod and agree, instead of asking follow-up questions.
But can he see it from his porch?
Named after a Hero of the Revolution no doubt.
Question for Obama and Clinton: Do any of his favorite players ever play against any of Hillary’s favorite players?
By the way -his favorite baseball player is Fidel…
#1 and #2
Hahaha – I hadn’t read any of the comments, but it looks like we all had similar thoughts!
HAHAHAHA…. Mom-jeans. Classic. Oh man. I’m so teared-up I can’t see.
I still would pay good money to see him go one on one against Sarah Palin in a game of 21. She would demolish him with one arm tied behind her back – and carrying a backpack full of Quikrete.
Give him a break on the ‘pitch’. Baseball is the Great American Pastime. They don’t play it in Indonesia.
/snark
BSer in Chief. If you asked this guy what his favorite needlepoint stitch was, he’d blah, blah, blah, quack, quack, quack, blah, blah, blah on for 17 minutes without being able to name a single stitch. He’d then be convinced he’d given a smart answer.
Empty.Suit.
I think Obama has a favorite baseball player
He’s older now though….
… and crapping into a plastic bag.
Watching Obama throw the baseball was kind of like watching Dukakis in the National Guard Tank…….
It’s such a shame that politicians think we are so stupid as to be swayed by having them like the same things we like. What the hell is wrong with this answer?
All the stammering, backpedaling and BS makes me hate anyone that tries to be a crowd pleaser.
Hey, in a Cuban Ballpark, that bag is called a Luxury Box – softer than the bleachers.
So, he’ll soon have a Cy Young Award to put on the shelf next to his Nobel.
According to his own bio, we should be getting the President to “roll a doobie” or “snort a line” instead of throw a baseball.
At least he didn’t say, “Base-a-ball been berry, berry good to me.”
Ok quiz…
Who looks more like a real baseball player – Obama or Anthony Perkins?
He could’ve picked Michael Jordan as his favorite baseball player. Unless he’s never seen Space Jam…
Isn’t it actually called US Cellular Field? The old ball park was torn down years ago.
I heard he was in the running for the MVP for March Madness, but lost one too many games of ‘POTUS’ so he’ll have to try again next year, poor baby.
Just a phony! Comiskey rhymes with saul Alinsky don’t you know. How would anyone ever expect this half and half candy ass to have played baseball. His commie mother and multiple muslim fathers sure couldn’t get up a roster in the middle east and Indonesia. He’s learned what his mom and dad taught him, smile lie and communism is the best policy.
With VERY few exceptions, just about any T-ball player!
Best post yet!
Still laughing!
OT but still amusing. How does a guy who is demonstrably 1/2 White, approximately 1/4 Black and 1/4 Fill-In-The-Blank not get called out for checking the “African-American” box on his Census forms?
Hey, if I check that box, can I gets me som o dat… Ah, heck nevermind. Not worth it.
Can we get him to receive the kick-off at the next Superbowl?
Heck most Little League pitchers could have done a better job! Guess boy barry just didn’t get to play in that foreign country eh?
Now cut the man some slack, Michelle. The Obama-idiot is just putting the ‘Minsk’ (capital of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic for those who otherwise won’t get the joke) in Comiskey! (Bah Doomp Boomp) Thank you, thank you, I’m here until the weekend! Check out that salad bar and be sure to tip your servers!
As much as many individuals wanted to portray the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts as a repudiation of Obamacare, I think it was really more of a repudiation of Martha Coakley after she dissed Curt Schilling in that radio interview. I would think that Obummer ended up offending not only White Sox fans with those insane remarks, but he’s also alienated the more numerous Cubs fans.
If anyone has ever seen the movie “Eight Men Out”, the portrayal of Comiskey is rather unflattering. Obummer probably admires the fellow.
The one that spits and curses?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaminski_Brigade
Sure he didn’t say KAMINSKI Park? as in the Kaminski Brigade? Nazi unit which hunted Partisans in Poland and Russia?
You know, that whole “Civilian” Police Force which would be as powerful as the military he talked about pre election?
I wonder if we can get Obama to be the starting flagman at Talladega?
What a ninnyhammer. With her massive biceps, I’ll be Michelle O. could have gotten it over the plate.
He is too elite for baseball, ya know. The White Sox probably cringe when he puts on his little cap.
is it me? or is he just smugly drinking in all of the applause and just dragging this whole thing out?
just throw the ball!
and as a girl I am highly insulted at the comparison that he throws like one.
i have hurled things at my husband with alot more accuracy and finesse than what’s on that video!
The one that keeps grabbing their crotch and adjusting their jock strap.
He probably calls it a “hat.”
He is so used hanging with and being a Communist that he had to say Cominskey. I’m just surprised he didn’t say Communinsky park!
Cominskey Park is where the Pease Corpse congregate!
So he pitches. I would have though he was more of a catcher.
Give him a break, in Swahili, the word
kikomunisti means ‘communist’
LOL John Deaux–bad boy.
Send him to open a Bridge tournament or something but don’t let him throw anymore baseballs . . . it’s just too painful to watch.
When he was stumped to come up with the name of even one Sox player, he could have mentioned Jawn F’n Kerry’s go to guy, “Manny Ortiz.”
Kind of reminiscent of Hitlery claiming she was a life-long Yankees fan.

One thing the baseball press missed in DC on Monday afternoon:
When ZerObama lobbed out the first pitch at the Phils-Nats game, he showed that his reverse-Midas touch is still intact; the Phils hammered the Nats 11-1.
Or Kerry’s all-time favorite Red Sox player, Eddie Yost (who never played for the Red Sox so he was still available as a possible White Sox fave).
Obama said in the interview with Rob Dibble during the opening day broadcast that he grew in Hawaii up as an Oakland A’s fan. I wonder if he could have answered a question about his favorite players from the 1972, 1973 and 1974 seasons when the A’s won three straight World Series championships. I can and I’m not even an A’s fan. Gene Tenace, Reggie Jackson, Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Rollie Fingers, Vido Blue, Joe Rudi, Blue Moon Odom just to name a few.
Since we are talking baseball, by far the greatest sport / game on earth, how about this… (Red Sox Nation will love this) — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PxHqMEcSuQ
By the way, I’ve never seen a girl, or any sissy boy throw a baseball as bad as Obama did for the ceremonial first pitch.
I wonder if Obama bowls better than he throws a baseball. Might be a close call based on his campaign bowling outing.
Obama did kick ass in basketball against former Ohio State great Clark Kellogg in a game of POTUS shown during the NCAA Final Four halftime show. He must have made 5 or 6 three pointers.
Uh, the Nats losing is not exactly news around the DC Metro area. I think they finished dead last in the NL East for the last two years and lost 102 and 103 games respectively. But under Obama’s “win-sharing” plan all teams will finish the year 81-81 and everybody will play in the World Series!
Did he wear his woman britches? I wasn’t looking
Well, he is a leftie so he obviously wears women’s undies! But he really does throw like a girl…
How’s come we ain’t talking about Obama’s disarmament of the US nuclear weapons program and national security? And Gates going right along with it in the interest of keeping his
jobhealthcare (sorry)?that’s how he campaigned and is still doing.
Is it true that Obama is going to invite a couple of corpsemen to watch the Chicago White Stockings at Cominsky Field take on the St Louis Colonels?
Yes but by the time he finishes the season will be over. But then again I can’t come up with the name of a single White Sox player-do they have any baseball players?
Because we don’t believe him?
Woodrow Wilson? I will not send our sons to war-(until after the election)
FDR? I will not get involved in Europe’s war (until after the election)
LBJ? I will not send American boys to fight an Asian war (until after the election)
My generations joke: why did you go to Viet Nam? Because my father voted for Goldwater.
Communism + Alinsky = Cominsky
Reminds me of either or both Kerry and Coakley who has issues naming Red Sox players or staff.
Obama knows more about Karl Marx than he knows about Ballparks.
Obama knows more about Alinsky than he does his own job description.
As a kid in little league my baseball mit was an Eddy Yost signature model. I had that fugly thing for years. Wish I still had it. Some childhood things should never be tossed away. (sigh)
Comisky/Cominskey…hey, give the guy a break! It’s an easy mistake for someone who is not a native-born American.
Where’s Butcher Bill when you need him?
Remember when Kerry referred to “Lambert Field”? Obama is a preppie. The media worships him so they won’t tell us that Obama went to the snootiest prep school in Hawaii and went to Ivy League colleges, Columbia and Harvard and he worked at the lilly white shoe law firm of Sidley and Austin where they represent large insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies. Michelle Obama is Princeton, Sidley and Austin all the way. Brian Williams went down on bended knee before the Obamas. Williams nose was so brown that you could not find it on a field of dirt.
I’ll bet the POTUS can’t beat Kim Jong-il.
I grew up in LA and was a Dodger fan. I can name the entire starting eight from my era (Yeager, Garvey, Lopes, Russell, Cey, Baker, Monday, and Smith).
I’d give a pass on the question if he brought up at least one famous White Sox player. Perhaps Joe Jackson or something like that. Notice that he didn’t even name an Oakland As player that he was a fan of…..
If you’re referring to Bill Buckner of 1986 game 6 fame, you really know how to hurt a guy. But poor Bill, he really didn’t deserve all that heat. He gave his all, played hurt and was a true Red Sox. He deserved better than that effed up game. Gawd, does that bring back some awful memories.
That game and series scarred me so bad that I swore I would never give my heart and soul to a team like that ever again. I root for them but will never let myself live and die on every pitch like I did back then. 2004 was sweet though! Glad I lived to see it.
Is there anything REAL about this man? Or are all his “hobbies” (besides destroying this country) fake?
I do know one thing: Obeyme has a severe dislike and distaste for this country that is unparalleled to what our enemies feel.
BTW, I’m a Yankees fan and one my favorite players is Derek Jeter.
Ha! A guy I work with, who is a diehard Yankee fan, just celebrated his 50th birthday. I bought him a t-shirt that says “Derek Jeter is a tool!”
