Obama to toss first pitch, now get a puck!

AUTHOR: | IN: Nats Misc | COMMENTS: None Yet |

President Barack Obama, fresh off domestic and foreign policy victories, will take his roll to Nationals Park  and toss out the first pitch at Opening Day at Nationals Park.

“It’s one of the things that makes baseball in Washington so unique and makes it so special,” Nationals President (that probably should be president, huh?) Stan Kasten said. “It reminds us of the game’s roots, but it’s also very contemporary. That’s what makes it so great that we’re going to have the leader of the free world here at our ballpark.”

Kasten and the Nationals have given the President a long-standing, open invitation to throw out the first pitch on opening day. This year, it came together, “just the way these things do,” Kasten said. “The president was able to fit it into his schedule. We’re had great cooperation from the White House and we’re going to have great enthusiasm from people looking forward to it. I know I am.”

“I am proud that President Obama will continue the long Presidential tradition of throwing out the first pitch of opening day in Washington D.C.,” said baseball commissioner

Excellent.  The rejuvenated and re energized President will trade his favored basketball for baseball and make the pitch on Monday April 5th.  Mr. President, given your recent policy successes, you must be ecstatic.  You should be.

Congrats on Nuclear Arms reduction, now. . . If you want that rejuvenation to turn to absolute excitement and thrill, then Mr. President, it is time for you to grace the turnstiles at the Verizon Center and watch the most dynamic offensive team with the best record in the NHL, the Washington Capitals.  It’s time Mr. President.  Health care and nuclear arms reductions were big policy wins for you.

Turn that energy and momentum to further your contact, admiration, and respect for Russia.  It is time to take the Russian relationship to the next level Mr. President.   You have met, respected, and dealt wisely with Russian leaders Dimitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin.  But you have still yet to meet and grace your presence with the most popular of all Russians.  His name is Ovechkin.  Alexander Ovechkin.
