I am very disappointed that President Obama will not be at opening day tomorrow against the Phillies. He is bucking tradition that dates back to 1910 with the President throwing out the first pitch at Washington's home opener. I hear from Washington's TV media reports that the President is too busy planning on next foreign trip. But something does not add up to me. First, tomorrow is the White House Easter Egg Roll in the morning(A Traditon!). Second, the World Champions Philies (A Tradition)are visiting that same busy President on Tuesday.
It seems that the President is too busy for the Nats' but not for others. He might not be doing it on purpose, but it sure looks like it!
The Nationals have reported that the White House has not confirm that he is not coming and are taking the "wait and see" attitude.
It is very disappointing. We put up a poll for fun to see who people think will throw out the first pitch. So far, Frank Howard is in the lead.
