MLB All Star game, Obama and past presidents  |
| |
|  The MLB All star game is on right now,don't know how many baseball fans are on mylot...... but President Obama is going to be throwing the first pitch and there was also a really great feature this year that there are 30 extra All stars who are just extraordinary people who give back to America through various ways, one woman has a company called "Knots for Love" where she knits caps for cancer victims...another is a 17 year old boy with Cerebral Palsy but he still manages to be a straight A student AND started his own charity for Cerebral Palsy. I got all choked up listening to these stories  , because these people are just going above and beyond. Obama, Bush jr, Clinton, Bush Sr., and Carter spoke about a few of these extra "All Stars" and Obama encourages people to go to http://www.service.gov/ where you can find a volunteer service near you.
I put this on the politics section not only because it involves presidents, but also because I think that it is important to remember that what makes American so great is not left or right, democrats or republicans or anything in between...its made great by people like those 30 extra All Stars who strive to help others.
What are your thoughts on all of this?

| |  It was a very good skit at the beginning, thats what makes america great the people that do for others and give charity.
Now as far as Obama, he's not dumb, I thought he was smart for wearing that white sox Jacket so now everyone can't be sure if the boo's heard were cause of the Jacket, or cause of him. I could see wearing a cubs jacket to cardinal's stadium, but can't imagine a white sox jacket would draw that many boo's.

| | I think it was a mixture of both, but it probably was that a lot of people just don't like him. I know what you mean Gewcew though, boy there were a lot of boos when the only cub on the lineup got announced at the start. | | | |

| |  AAARRRGGGHHH that dang game. We missed all the shows we ususally watch in the evening, because of that dang game. What makes it any different from any other baseball game, and why does it have to pre-empt other programs? Shouldn't all this stuff just run on the sports channel? Sports fans kno where to find that.

| | I know what you mean, because for a long time when I was a teen, I hated it as well because my parents would always watch it and that meant the T.V got taken over, but it is a national past time since the 1800's, and the first All Star game was way back in 1933. Not everyone has sports channels too though, so it is essential that it is on a station that everyone would have. | | | |

| | I watched the All Star game and the opening ceremony was probably the best ever. Sheryl Crow did a great job singing the National Anthem (which is so unusual these days). It was also great having President Obama and all the surviving Presidents speak about the 30 extra All Stars and afterward having the baseball All Stars congratulating these people. This is one of the things that makes this country so great - we have such good people who are eager to do good to make like better for others without fear or favor. | | | | | | |

| | Yeah I think she did do a great job, and you are so right that it is unusual for it to sound well, for the world series and all star games, I kind of hold my breath during the national anthem for a few seconds until i can tell if its actually good, or being butchered. I really think that it will encourage more americans to volunteer.... I went onto the website and found a couple that I am going to look into volunteering for, one is a local thing that has people give calls to elderly people who live alone or just have a nurse, and just talk to them to help them feel less lonely. It is less than a mile away from my home but without the All star game and Obama giving the website, I never would have known about it. | | | |
