Obama threw the first pitch at the All-Star Game Tuesday night and fans are wondering if he did a better job than actor Mark Wahlberg, who threw the first pitch twice at Fenway park on July 13th and it barely made it to the plate and then hit a fan on the behind.

Obama wanted to do better, but his pitch was a bit wobbly.
Once Obama made it to the mound, he eased into his motion and softly floated a pitch to Albert Pujols. Pujols, the current Cardinals icon, reached in front of home plate to catch Obama’s wobbly pitch. The fans cheered for Obama, who then hugged Pujols halfway between the mound and the plate.
When Mark Wahlberg got to throw the first pitch twice, many thought that he shouldn't have been allowed to and that his throw was just embarrassing.
We look forward to seeing Obama's attempt tonight.

Are you sh****g me? Obama throws like a young girl, and nobody has the stones to say...Be glad he didn't try to play organized baseball in the 50's in California, we'd have made him wear a dress!!!! his isn't politics, it's a fact, he's not a hunk, an athlete, so what?? The media needs to regain alittle credibility here and call a wuss a wuss, even if he's the Prez!
