President Obama's Left-Wing Pitch

President Barack Obama took the mound at tonight's 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star game to toss out the ceremonial first pitch, and the southpaw passed one of the most grueling tests a commander in chief can face.

Namely, he got that ball cleanly over—or at least near—the plate. (Though Fox made sure to capture the moment from an angle that would have softened the blow in case the throw went awry.)

Nice job, sir. Hope all the health-care stuff goes just as smoothly.
