ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Was President Barack Obama too busy watching the “Operation Repo” marathon or something else last Friday night?
When KMOX host Charlie Brennan asked now-retired St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa how the traditional call of congratulations from the White House went, La Russa suddenly realized that…it never happened.
“That’s a good point, I hadn’t really even thought about that,” replied a surprised-sounding La Russa, who can be forgiven for having a few other things on his mind over the past week. “As we were getting into the World Series we had a call from the White House to make sure they had the correct number for my office.”
But as the wild, champagne-drenched celebration of the team’s 11th World Series title was going on in the locker room, that phone never rang.
“We never did get a call,” La Russa said.
And all this despite the fact that the First Lady, Michelle Obama, was in town for Game 1 of the World Series.
“Very impressive, too.” La Russa recalled of his meeting with the First Lady.
Obama didn’t immediately phone last year’s World Series champions, either. But the San Francisco Giants did hear from him eventually:
And the President also hosted the Giants at the White House this summer, where he congratulated them personally.
Whether or not President Obama picks up the phone, or invites him and his team to Washington, TLR doesn’t seem too worried about the apparent slip in postgame protocol.
He’s packing up his things and getting ready to “head west” for the next phase of his life.
La Russa will vacate his office at Busch Stadium as of Friday.
He’s contemplating his next step, which could be buying a minor league ballclub, writing his memoirs, or simply pursuing one of his passions…reading.
He’s currently checking out “The Affair” by Lee Child.
La Russa also said that if asked, he would come back to manage the National League squad during next summer’s All-Star Game, which he earned by guiding the Cardinals to the NL pennant.

He would have called if they’d just won some soccer game.
The president’s things are Football and Basketball. I would have been honored if he hadn’t called. Then I would know that he thinks that I am an “enemy” to him.;)
He didn’t call the Packers when they won the Super Bowl last year either…such a schmuck….well not until about 6 months later anyhow…
USA Today says he was at “Diwali Reception” (for Hindu festival of lights) after a “low-key day”. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2011/10/obamas-day-briefings-and-a-diwali-reception/1
OBAMA IS CONVINCED THE CARDINAL TEAM IS A ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH TEAM WHO’S MASCOT IS A RED BIRD.
Obama will place the Cardinal team on his Kill List.
commie ball or basketball , but then he has been snubbed by pro athletes not accepting wh invites and half of nascar snubbed his invite..
He knows where he stands with the anti liberal pro Americans,
i dont how his poll numbers are in the 40’s
This is simple…40% 0f America are either government union types or welfare types. obummer will ALWAYS have 40% approval rating.
40% 0f America are either government union types or welfare types. obummer will ALWAYS have 40% approval rating.
Actually 45% pay no taxes so he is in the negative. That is why the Marxists want to legalize illegal aliens that would put them 50% of people on government assistance. Perfect voting majority.
They really not. They cannot be. Considering that liberals make up about 20% of voting aged people it’s impossible.
He beez only interested in bassit – bow !
Ø-man AM ony intamarested in bassit bow.
A MUSLIM CANNOT CONGRATULATE A CHRISTIAN TEAM
Maybe Obama thought the Cardinals are a White Catholic Church team. Cardinals?
The Cardinals better change their name.
I hear that he’s very uncomfortable with an American team claiming to be champions of the whole world.
He couldn’t call because his teleprompter was broken.
The reason is thy are not from Chicago. Why would winners want to see a loser
Now that,s just mean . Do you think Chicago fans would say that to Cards fans ?
I think he was referring to O’Blamer.
Did they really want a call from that az_whole? Sick of that POS!
Hillary was RIght! He cannot even pick up the phone at 3am without first plugging in his telepromter! Everything he touches goes south and that includes “SPEECHES”!
Agreed. He is a goon, a gangster.
Probably did not get the call because LaRussa and Puhols were Glenn Beck’s 8/28 in Washington DC last year.
Nailed it.
Ding Ding DIng- Spot on.
And Obama has shown himself to be a petty individual that way. He’s also against almost every American tradition and his ego is such that he thinks everything is about him.
Well said, TP. Obama is too petty and too arrogant to think of anyone other than himself. But he’ll make the call when he wants their votes.
I believe he’s very vindictive.
Bingo Aaron.
Without question, this man has the correct answer.
yo, bro. da reazon he dont like call dem beez cause day dont beez a bassit bow team .
Told you there were no muslims on the Cards…
I’m a Rangers fan, and this ticks me off. You guys earned it, and O’Bumbles fell short. Again. Oh, and Aaron, you could be right. He’s just that petty.
Rangers Fan here too. I’m with you! But not surprised at any low class behavior from Obama!
BTW, congratulations Cardinals! You have an awesome line up! And good luck with Pujols.
Rangers fan in West Texas. However, I want to congratulate the Cards on a great job! Sorry the (not our) Prez broke yet another American tradition–the congratulatory call! Best wishes!
And another Rangers fan from FW. Great series and congrats to the Cards. Not a surprising move by the man child president. Ever see him throw out a first pitch?
Not suprised at all with the blow off. I think the Glenn Beck thing may be spot on.. And hey Texas fans, Card fan here. You guys have a lot to look forward to with a good young team. Awsome series!!! You all will have another shot in the future I’m sure if they can keep some of your young guys around and your manager is a class act. Really enjoyed this series, could of gone either way.
La Russa “can be forgiven for having a few other things on his mind,” but the President can’t be?
I agree Ted, as a life long conservative and Cardinal fan I found that statement to be a little over the top.
La Russa doesn’t have a staff of hundreds to remind him of such things. DUH.
All you have to do is remember that William DeWitt jr served on the Foreign Relations Advisory Board under GWB and his spouse served on the National Council of the Arts under the same administration.
He didn’t forget, just realized that they wouldn’t vote for him for give a hefty campaign contribution.
I ran the WH switchboard in 1990s, and these calls are managed and set up between the WH staff and the WH Comm Agency switchboard. The Prez just says some time during one of his scheduling briefs that yes he would like to call the winner. So he didn’t have the ability for it NOT to come to his attention. He made a conscious decision or his staff as many have said is inept!
I think this was a conscious snub because he has no interest in the people of Missouri and now they’ll have no interest in him.
Someone should tell Obama that the Cardinals are from St. Louis, MO….NOT TEXAS!
It’s tough, you know, trying to remember the names of all 57 states.
Missouri is “fly-over country” for Obama and his ilk. We won’t see him until he wants our votes again.
Again? You gotta be kidding.
Could be because Missouri has the “BEST” imigration Laws in the country. Here are my two favorites: In Missouri , illegal immigrants do NOT have access to taxpayer benefits such as food stamps or health care through Missouri Health NET. and In 2009, a measure was passed that ensures Missouri ‘s public institutions of higher education do NOT award financial aid to individuals who are illegally in the United States .
Missouri’s laws might be the “Best,” but they are not enforced. Go to St Charles and several parts of the city, and you will find plenty.
Wish California was the same!
Nor do they have access anywhere in the country, as the Welfare Reform Act of 1996 barred them from that on the Federal Level.
Whatever state level “benefits” may exist are not controlled by the Federal Law.
Thanks hoser. I just got the Missouri Immigration Laws revision on a forward & of course, cked. snopes. Nothing, but then again, I notice they miss a lot these days & of course, it has nothing to do with who’s in the White House!
Anyway, play nice boys! B.O. is hardly home enough to take time to call a congrads. to ANYONE. He must have the mother-of-all-jet lags.
You’re right POTUS POS can’t do anything right. He’s proven that repeatedly.
Straw man. SHA didn’t say the president can’t do anything wrong. SHA said he can’t do anything right according to the right. If he had made the call, you would be complaining about him having better things to do. Since he didn’t call, you have to complain about that.
In my opinion, he has better things to do, and shouldn’t be bothered with silly things like this.
St Louis is in mid-America; fly over country. Obama could care less.
Obama has no class; he is a petty, bitter thug. Way to go St. Louis! Congratulations! Next summer you can tell him you are to busy to go to the White House!!!
True dat
I heard Obama tried to call but no one would pick up the phone. Go figure.
If I saw his name on my caller ID I would let the phone keep on ringing too.
It’s the previous administration’s fault.
HaHaHa!!!
To HELL with the fraud “resident” obama!
2102-SAVE THE REPUBLIC!
KICK “zero!”, “moooch” and the pooch to the curb!
woops 2012!!!
It’s understandable…2102 is the year we finally recover from the last three.
What do you have against the pooch? It’s not his fault.
The jerk has no class. He proves it over and over and over and over …
If it would have been a soccer game from Iraq he would have been there first hand. What a major jerk but when they move their goes the neighborhood!
Well, one of Obama’s favorite players on the Oakland White Sox was Yogi Berra. So there’s that…
Yogi was born in Saint Louis.
He has many fond childhood memories of his days at Cominsky Field
His Childhood for the first 10 years were spent in foreign countries. Obama has no
genuine attachment for this country whatever!
…Maybe the teleprompter broke down again?
The Cardinals are snubbed? How about Jesus Christ? Now Obama, the goon, is REALLY snubbing him……and I think someday he just might regret it.
>He’s currently checking out “The Affair” by Lee Child.
I knew there was some Jack Reacher in Tony!
Just another one of those things Americans understand that he does not.
11 electoral votes go to the GOP
“Schmuck” is most often used in American English as a pejorative or insult, meaning an obnoxious, contemptible person; one who is stupid, foolish, or detestable.
Personally, if we are using Yiddish to describe someone of his stature, I prefer the noun, PUTZ. I suspect most of Israel agrees with me!
The guy’s not black. I ain’t talking to him.
He would never cure cancer, he’s not that smart and would stifle the s*** out of business to the point where there would be no incentive to invent the cure anyway. Hey, by the way, isn’t there a police car you and your buddies are supposed to be out defecating on? What are you doing on a corporation built piece of technology writing comments on a website run by a corporation?
That’s because Obama is un-Amercan and he’s a traitor. The jack ass needs to be sent packiing now.
Obama is just a phony American.
The presidents horseface looking wife announced during the 8th inning that she had just finished her period and the prez was then to busy to call La Russa in the lockeroom.
she is not horse.. post op-tranny
Thug in the White House also ignores the law

I didn’t vote for the idiot. And he is an idiot….. Congratulations Cards! fantastic series!!
If B. Hussein ever called me, I’d just hang up anyway. What’s the big deal?
F*ck obama anyway. He won’t win his next championship.
Hey give the guy a break. He’s busy running all 59 states!
From a Rangers fan:Sorry Cardinal fans. Cards and Rangers played a great series. This fraud in the WH is too concerned with himself to care about. I hope all Cardinl fans remember and help vote him out. If you voted for him to prove you weren’t a racist, vote him out to prove you are ot stupid.
He is too broken up over the delayed start of the NBA season.
Missouri will reject him and Claire MacCaskill, so this doesn’t matter. But there are a lot of Cardinal fans in South Illinois. Maybe they can gang together enough to counteract the Daley machine in Chicago and turn that state Cardinal Red.
Obumbler doesn’t even have enough IQ to use a teleprompter. No worries about him finding a cure for anything.
Contribute to his presidential campaign: get a call. Otherwise, the team will probably get a call from the IRS.
Funny how Obama never seems to miss issuing a statement for a muslim holiday.
Well, they DID do it without the government’s help.
you are a typical lame liberal. Your messiah is perfect and you are blind. he is a joke…the world is laughing at him…and you uneducated libs.
You suck ass
Straw man. SHA didn’t say the president can’t do anything wrong. SHA said he can’t do anything right according to the right. If he had made the call, you would be complaining about him having better things to do. Since he didn’t call, you have to complain about that.
In my opinion, he has better things to do, and shouldn’t be bothered with silly things like this.
Obama is un-American, anti-American. Why would he carry on with a great American tradition? In one year & two days we can vote this clown out of office.
@S.H.America
Name ONE thing this prez has done right in the past 3.5 yrs. Just ONE, one policy that’s all I’m asking.
Well he ….. Well he ….. Darn what was the question again?
He helped repeal don’t ask don’t tell.
HE didn’t…his LAME DUCK Senate did…
“Homeda….Homeda…Homeda….Ed Norton?”
Why would anyone want a phone call from Obama?????
Not only NO, but HELL NO!
There he was last week, hob-knobbing around the G20 meeting in Cannes, shaking hands of his contemporaries, until he sees the PM of Turkey, who he embraces with open arms, hugging and whispering into his ear. Take a guess at what he was saying? “Yes Brother, do not worry. We will see to the destruction of all Catholics – including the Cardinals.”
He was too busy laughing with and hugging the Muslim PM of Turkkey to call
the non-socialist lnon-liberal, proud of America Cardinals, until an appropriate time.
Maybe during Ramadan….
Remember, our president is a Chicago Machine politician first and foremost. If the Cardinals could get him elected, he’d call. But they can’t, so he won’t.
“Project Runway” is more his speed…but look for him on “Biggest Loser” next year.
That’s because his favorite team while growing up was the White Sox (even though when asked he couldn’t name a single player) who played at KAMINSKI Park
he grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. What’s the connection with the White Sox?
The POTUS is required to prepare and present a State of the Union address, nothing in the rules about having to call a winning baseball team.
He’s probably too busy doing due diligence on solar his company investments.
Tradition, Tradition, Tradition – Fiddler on the Roof
What? Too Jewish?
luv it!!!! Despise him!!
Baseball is not a Communist game and its not from Kenya. A white man dreamed it up. So why would this turd call?
Baseball is too white and republicanish for the left-wing ideologue president. Obama sux and why is the first lady at a baseball game anyway? Did she buy the tickets with her own money? Stupid question, I know.
I was privleged to be in St.Louis on Friday when they won the series. Too bad that he didnt pay attention. St Louis doesnt realize that they have other sports teams, it is all the Cardinals.
I rooted for Texas, but I cant disagree with the Cards. They deserved to win, and I am a proud Missourian who celebrates their 11th World Series win. Ok, I live in KC and used to root for the Athletics in the 1950’s and 60’s, I admit it.
I like winners, and the Cards are winners.
He may never call. Too many White and not enough Black players. Shoot, even the manager was White……..and you expect Barry to call?
Hard to imagine that. He sent 3 condolence letters to a Gold Star mother I know. Imagine how she felt. Was it because he cared so much or he’s just in over his head? But heck they all had his name stamped on them.. So Tony don’t feel so bad.Maybe it is a blessing in disguise.
The real beauty of the situation is how illuminating it is: The “rockstar” image the liberal media built out of lies and misrepresentations to get Obama elected has crumbled into such insignificant pieces that LaRussa didn’t even realize he didn’t get a call from the President of the United States.
Fire up the propaganda machine, CBS! You’ve got more work to do for 2012.
This guy is a pathetic, clueless, clump of excrement. Three years on the job now and he still doesn’t have the slightest clue about how to “BE” president of the United States. He seems to genuinely hate traditional American culture.
C’mon, a simple phone call? To the team that won a very exciting, 7-game World Series? America’s pastime? OK, Barry, baseball is too “American” for you, I get it. So, how many people work in your public relations office? 50? 100? 500? They couldn’t churn out a White House press release congratulating the Cardinals?
Election day can’t come soon enough.
The DeWitts, John Mozeliak, and Tony La Russa are, in Obama’s words, “typical white person(s).”
I wouldn’t sit next to your phone waiting for a call, Tony.
St. Louisans and Cardinal fans can more than return the snub in november 2012. Perhaps it is even an honor NOT to be associated with Mr. Obama
What a freakin a.hole!
It’s all part of his hopey-changey BS. Anything traditional gets tossed to the curb.
Next up. Abolishing Daylight Savings Time because he can.
Looks like a bunch of white boys playing a kids game to me.
I
got bigger fish to fry.
Not worth my time.
Obama the One Percenter likes Polo on the weekends when he’s not jammin’ down some dunks on his presidential lowered jam rim.
Maybe Missouri is a red state?
Lot of Cardinal fans in Southern Illinois which ain’t… Maybe they can gang together and make it one next year.
Reading these comments you draw one conclusion Bif likes to suck ass.
would you expect different from this self absorbed arrogant POS we have posing as president?
Obama is lazy and a liar. Everything the Cards are not. Plus, Obama is a loser.
C’mon, the president is busy. He’s got that jobs bill, the Cap n’ Trade, Obamacare, and now the 2012 campaign. He can’t be out in the Rose Garden playing around with millionaires and billionaires…who don’t even play his sport. Did you ever see him throw?
Did he really need to read from notes to handle that phone call?
He was obviously too busy writing his list of lies for his next campaign speech.
It’s Obama and his administration’s either lack of respect or ignorance of such simple traditional gestures that make him look even less endearing. He can’t win on any fronts, he’s been a horrible domestic leader, his foreign policy is a contradiction, his policies pushed through a Democratic Congress have crippled the economy, and now this inability to make an effort for simple fluffy PR moves. The guy is simply a complete failure.
oblamo only knows ghettoball………….nothing else matters cuz they are too smart to be obamasycophants
yall realize he is overseas at the G20 summit right, so im pretty sure yall just racist
obama 2012
Ya realize that the World Series was last week right so we’re pretty sure you’re just as ignorant as all the rest of the losers that put that loser in office.
Ya realize that I have yet to hear of a single person that voted for McCain that wished they voted for Obama, but I hear of a lot of people that voted for Obama that will vote for anyone that runs against him.
Gee, I didn’t realize the series lasted all the way to last night. I’d have watched it the rest of it. Congratulations, Cards.
No phone call from Obama? Hmmm…
Well you know Baseball is America’s Pastime, afterall!
Can we see Obama’s official birth certificate again?
They must be republicans?
Hey be happy, I would not want to talk to Barry (low life ) Obozo on the phone or in person.. Anyway Barry is to busy getting plans together for his next vacation.
Don’t feel bad Cards fans. He probably wouldn’t have called the Rangers had they won. This administration doesn’t seem to think too highly of Texas or Missouri.
Obama, like all modern liberals, despises success, especially when it comes without any government handouts. If you achieve something through your own hard work, and dedication, that sets a dangerous precedent. People might start getting ideas, and we can’t have that now can we?
Just how un-American can you get?!?! 368 days and counting, Let’s see if he gets a call then……
Obama was glued to the NBA package channel, waiting for some round ball action to start.
Who was at the Glen Beck rally last year? Albert Pujos and Tony La Russa! Of course, Obama wouldn’t call them. You don’t agree with him, you get shunned. This is why San Francisco got the call. They are liberal. Makes perfect sense to me.
It’s a “white man’s sport”.
It’s a thinking man’s sport.
That’s probably the reason right there.
It’s because LaRussa had some positive comments about the Tea Party a few months ago, Obama is a vindictive little weasel who only kisses up to his fellow Socialists.
You got that right!
He was very busy shredding Solyndra files, and calling his pals at occupy Saint Louis. . Give the guy a break.
Please anybody but obama in 2012.
of course he doesn’t care…he’s a Cub fan from Kenya
Who cares? Ball sports have got to be the big waste of energy and time in America.
If it was a gangsta basketball team they’d have been given the red carpet treatment.
Well now they know what Israel feels like. Also like obamas cabinet who he has not talked to in the past few years.
Winners (Cards) shouldn’t associate with losers, anyway.
Red birds on yellow bats > Failed community organizer
So, he makes one little mistake and you all get sooo upset. He was told to call the cardinals and he called the cardinals in Rome to congratulate them. It was a simple mistake that anyone could have made. What is wrong with you folks? He is giving all of us who don’t work everything that we want.
I would love to get a phone call from Barack Obama! It would be so much fun to watch it go straight into voice mail. Then, I could delete it without listening to it!
As a long time Cardinal fan we need a call from a White Sox/Cub fan loser because…….?
He just dissed God on refusing to have FDR Prayer at the WW2 Memorial. So Cards are in good Company. Can’t get lower than that.
Who cares if he doesnt call? He is just a loser anyway! Who wants to hear from him anyway? At this point the not even the country wants a call frm Obama since that means the further destruction of America….Cardinal fans, count yourselves lucky.
Not a smart move for the man who wears mom jeans…..but I suppose he has all those St. Louis votes in the bag either way.
How many Cardinal players and management contributed to King Barry’s 2012 campaign? Probably not enough to even get a phone call! A few dollars more and they could have been bailed out of all their expenses like Solyndra and the Finnish car maker.
After attaining such a high level of accomplishment, and winning the World Series, the Cardinals didn’t want to stoop the depths of meeting Barry Soetoro, who could blame them…
Obama finally got something right?
I actually am surprised. After all, the Obama administration should appreciate a city with high crime rates and low IQ’s. Those are his constituents.
You’re thinking EAST St Louis.
The tradition is pretty dumb anyway and I don’t even like the Prez.
“That’s a good point, I hadn’t really even thought about that,” replied a surprised-sounding La Russa …. obviously he doesn’t care whether the self centered commander in thief called at all…although he has class and won’t say that
Ask Obama how many feet between the bases in a Major League park and he’d guess wrong. Ask Obama how many men make up a regular season Major League roster and he’d guess wrong. Ask Obama the name of the General Manager responsibile for bringing Jackie Robinson to the Bigs and Obama would have no idea. Obama knows nothing about nothing…and that includes everything. Obama is the emptiest of all Empty Suits.
What does the “Anointed One” have against the Cardinals? Are they all Tea Party members?
I’d bet it’s not a snub of the Cards, it’s yet another example that even three years into the term the staff remains inept. This blunder is brought to you by the same people that scheduled the State of the Union address without even bothering to ask the Speaker about the schedule of the House. Right now the White House is filled with clowns and Bozo is in charge.
If he calls, the right will be mad he’s wasting time on sports and not fixing the economy. If he doesn’t call, they are mad for breaking protocol. Morons.
Its too bad BO did not call…..Cardinals could have HUNG UP on the Marxist- in -Chief!
Obama is the ENEMY WITHIN!
When you are born in and grow up in Kenya, soccer is your national game, not baseball.
Please namwe one thing he has done right. It took him over 12 hours to decied to give the go ahead for the seals to get OBL!
As a Cardinals fan, I am glad that we are NOT associated with our Communist in Chief. He can call on Mohammad or whoever he deals with…
The less I see that POS the better.
Maybe he something more important to do… Like pretty much anything else than calling up a baseball manager.
SHA put up the straw man. No one would complain about the President calling the winner of the World Series. That’s what Presidents traditionally do. Quit making up things that the “Right Wing” will complain about. We complain about legitimate things like hanging out on MArtha’s Vineyard while most Americans can’t afford to go to the movies.
Even if invited, they should stay away from Obama. He’s too full of himself.
Typical for someone who engages in cultural and class warfare. $10 bucks says that someone high up in the Cardinals organization is a known Republican.
Obviously a remark made by misinformed, ignorant Progressie/ Liberal, wake up and smell the coffee and get out of La La Land!
Looks like my Cardinals caught a break! The Stanlinist in Chief was to busy planning to RUIN America even more to call. Very nice.
Another reason to believe Obam@ is not an American Citizen……………
He’s so busy being ” clever” telling the leaders at the summit that he has to get American’s jobs…….They couldn’t care less and he thinks he’s setting the stage for his re-election….by saying it’s not about his re-election…..lol! He’s so clever! He cares so much about jobs in America, that’s why he’s not even in the US……
say goodbye to this clown……oh, by the way….he owns the occupy wall st mess…..
Haven’t you heard, this “Fellow” only respects Gangsta’ B-Ball.
Slam Dunk the Moron.
It’s friggin baseball. Hit the ball. Run. Hit the ball. Run. Congratulations.
They like cricket.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar was a Musim.
Not much more I could say that hasn’t been said, and said well….
To the Cards: you’ll pulled it out when many folks had written you off. As a Baltimore Orioles fan (stop laughing!), what the Cards did was a sign of real class, professionalism, and heart.
Congrats to you and your fans!
As for Obama…
Pardon me, folks, but I must leave you now to take one.
mr. obama would never associate himself with anything named “CARDINALS” That sounds WAY too much like a Christian word. Change the team’s name to “RADICALS” and if you win next year, he’ll have one of his czars contact you.
What does a muslim from Kenya know about baseball anyway?…
Who gives a flying – – – -!
Obama and his Administration have no class. They have publicly shown utter contempt for Queen Elizabeth, Dalai Lama, Netanyahu, and other of our allies. They care about one thing, the communist takeover of America and this has begun with Obama’s OWS movement.
Someone need to remind Jug ears that St. Louis is not from the 54th state aas he claimed the U.S. had!
Sports have become WAY over rated…who cares,anymore? only the millionairs owners and the Millinaire players, at this point,…but, anyways what do you expect from an unAmerican Usurper president?
You have to remember that Obama is a racist and a basketball fan. The team and coach probably looked a bit too white to him so he declined to call. I will decline to vote for him also.
Obama only calls campaign contributors and bundlers. The guy wants to continue freeloading on taxpayers.
Simple reason: It was the world series. Now if it had been the NBA playoffs, it would have been a different story. The man-child is who he is…. a Chicago “player” wannabe playing President, and failing to rise to the nation’s need.
And yes, I said “nation’s” need as opposed the desires of his leftist and hoodlum constituency. Any bets as to whether he will, directly or by proxy, meet with the organizers of OSW?
Obama probably thought the Cardinals were Catholic, and being a Muslim, chose not to call.
He’ll call now that there’s a news story out there. What a freakin’ loser he is anyway. He won’t carry Missouri anyway & he knows it…
Yet another prime example how UN-AMERICAN Obama really is. He backs Arab Spring. His only objective right now is to re-arrange the middle east for his handlers. So obvious. But why so obvious? Because Americans have lost their spine, the scorpions have liquified their spines and are sucking them right out of Americans. Keep playing your video games, and getting that latest cellphone and other cute little toys. They cost you, but when you go to the supermarket, just look at that bread, milk, veggies and meat as cute expensive little toys, because they are going to cost the same! Same goes for the gas you will need to get to work to pay for all it, and don’t forget you have to pay enormous amounts to keep yourself from freezing this summer. Good luck with all that, and thank Obama and his cronies for all it. They prepared your plate for you, so eat your peas!
Afraid this time, the man has a good excuse. The World Series conflicted with the annual “Camel Crusade Caravan” race… and this year was named the Memorial Osama Obama Bash… So, Biden was suppose to make the call. HE called the Arizona Cardinals.
LaRussa and Albert were key speakers at Glenn Beck’s 8/28 event. Obama is a vengeful hateful person.
It’s America’s game….Why is anyone surprised?
p.s. Todd are a nitwit.
Not surprised. Obama seems to forget the traditions in this country that make us unique and special. How long does it take to make a phone call to say “congratulations”? November 2012 cannot come soon enough. We must get this empty suit out of the White House!
too many white guys, patriots, and christians on the cardinal team – do you really think this muslium/communist/racist president is going to call………..?
Barry is from Chicago, nobody from Chicago would ever congratulate the St Louis Cardinals for anything. As a Cubs fan, there is nothing worse than seeing the stinking Cardinals win any game, much less a Series. I hope he never calls and forgets to invite them ti the White House… I might even think about voting for him if he pulled a complete snub…. ahhh, no, I guess I can’t do tthat… but i would at least agree with him on something.
Obviously there are trolls on here who are trying to make it look like everyone
against Obama is a racist. Not true. Baseball is a traditionally pro-American
past time, and Obama has not done anything that is pro-American. It is not
surprising that he would also not participate in the call of congratulations
either. I don’t like it. That doesn’t mean that I am a racist though!!
Who cares? Besides I can never figure out why its called the ‘World Series’ when they only play against US teams.
Right now I expect nothing from the empty suite and sorry excuse of a President. We have protesters all around the country that he and his administration are inciting/patronizing. When ever did we have a Pres. who does that? Normally a leader tries to quell these situations that are starting to get out of hand. He owns this mess now. A ‘Leader’ would go on national TV and explain to the protesters that this isn’t helping business nor the economy and to please go home. Our standard for a President is at an all time low!
Tony And Albert are both friends of Glenn Beck and attended his restoring courage event last year.
Yo! Wassup? not enugg bros on the team???
Obama is so self centered.
I think he is Europe right now, but I believe every other President would have made the call.
He probably can’t do the math to figure out the time difference.
Obama is math challenged that is why he brags about creating a couple of jobs at a million tax dollars a pop. We would do better if he just paid the money directly.
Our economy can not recover until Obama has gone on to greener pastures. Don’t feel sorry for him, he doesn’t like the job much and the retirement benefits are the best in the world. He’ll do fine out of office.
Of course he did not call. It did not matter you won, MO and TX are deep red states, he couldn’t care less.
Is it really appropriate or eve legal under Shariah law for the Mullah to call a national sports team?
Maybe he mistook the Cardinals for those high-ranking Catholic prelates, also referred to as Cardinals. We’ve all begun to realize that he’s not too bright. Given his hatred for Christianity, naturally he’d snub them.
It’s nice to see all the congrats to the Cardinals from the Ranger fans. Looks like the classiest fans from the AL and NL were in the World Series this year. Very cool. I think I found my favorite AL team good luck Rangers.
I would hang up on him anyway.
I don’t see what the problem is…
Obama IS NOT the President, so why would he be calling anyone? The Kenyan Muslim respects no tradition in this country.
What a clod!
It is just a game. Not everyone cares that much about sports. There are many more pressing matters in this country than who won a sports competition. Get over yourselves. Sports competitions are just not that important.
u are soooo missing the point!!!
He was polishing His golf clubs, and the time just slipped a way.
too many white people on the cards roster, and it is typically a white sport…why would obummer care?
What do you expect….baseball is not played in most Muslim countries.
Just another reason to NOT re-elect this turkey
Don’t forget, that phone call is an American tradition. Obamao is probably ashamed of it and doesn’t want to participate.
one of two possitiblities: 1) missou reps thwarted prez basketball jones on one of his mass-tran projects, so true to jones’s nature, he’s taking it out on the whole state, or 2) prez. b. jones is wrapped entirely in convo with commish stern, and didnt happen to notice that there WAS a world series. take yo pick . . .
Obozo, our clown in chief, makes another funny by inviting the 1985 Superbowl winners, but not the current World Series Winners, breaking with tradition.
But in truth, why would anyone on the Cardinals want to meet this man, and what would they have in common.
Maybe if they go to the white house, they can bring their checkbooks and start to pay their fair share, as they are the 1%, while Obozo, loves and respects the 99% that wants the Cardinals to pay their fair share.
But in the spirit of being a clown, and being funny, he never tells anyone what a fair share is.
But in times of problems, why are we so enamored of this photo op anyways.
St.Louis represents traditional Americana,the impostor in chiet ain’t Americam,all too easy,he has only one year left to implmemnt his plan,oh,and the rumblings from military friends,oh my!
Or maybe, just maybe he had more important things to do than concern himself with sports? (I’m against Obama dont’ get me wrong but this country’s obsession with sports is ridiculous when you think about all the important issues out there).
I don’t think he likes baseball. On Opening Day in 2009, he went to Germany instead of throwing out the first pitch — another baseball/WH tradition he ignores.
He’s a thug
For all of you that voted to show you were not racist.. hope you vote for anyone else to show your not Idiots this time.. Cain/Paul 2012
O’blamer isn’t American. He doesn’t “get” baseball.
Baseball, apple pie, honoring the flag, honoring veterans… Of what use of these things to Obama? Does anyone think this guy has any use for America anymore? I can’t wait to rid our country of this liberal boob and everyone like him!
What do expect from a Girlie-Man President who can’t even throw a baseball.
Hmmm…Girlie-Man… Don’t forget that Bush was a CHEERLEADER in college. I think that’s kind of girlie…IMO. I personally don’t care how a president throws a ball really.
The Cardinals should be pleased that the President did not bother to call them.
They were not lied to, as most Americans are on a daily basis by the man.
They had a terrific season. Why ruin it?
