Two weeks ago, the President sat passively by as Mitt hit a home run. It did seem to me that Barack did not want to be there and you had to wonder if he had anything left in the Presidential tank or he was ready to have a talk show. If that was his plan he failed the interview that night and would make a terrible host.
Last night he came out swinging, was a fighter and I thought was on the verge of a Micheal Douglas moment in the movie where he plays the President and says, "Mr. _____, I am the President and....."
Great job and he hit the home run!
On another cable channel the reality show, Life as A-Rod, was playing out. In one of the most significant games of the season, the 600 home run man, sat on the bench, chewing seeds and probably thinking about catching a plane form Detroit to Miami after today's game. But first he'll have to clean out his locker as the events of the last 2 weeks have left him in the proverbial "dogout" as a future Yankee.
Trump, that bastion of upstanding, suggested that the Yankees void his contract for taking drugs, especially now that he is not hitting HRs, and without any chance of catching Hank Aaron, they are ready to cry fowl and dump his $100,000,000 contract.
Only goes to show, you have to be in the game to take your swings and you can't hit a home run from the bench in baseball or in politics!
Yep, gotta play the game to hit home runs!
