    Obama Red Sox Jab Draws Fire From Romney Campaign

    In baseball, an error is a misplay or fumble, as when a player drops a pop fly or lets a ground ball go through his legs. Last night in Boston, President Obama went to the heart of Red Sox nation and committed an error by taunting fans over the Kevin Youkilis trade to the Chicago White Sox. And he was booed for it ... at his own event!

    The Red Sox have suffered many setbacks over the years -- the Babe Ruth trade, the ball through Buckner's legs, the Bucky Dent home run. Maybe the President should have congratulated the team for winning the World Series in 2004 and 2007. Instead, he chose to mock them for trading away one of its favorite players at a time when the team is struggling.

    The email asserts: "Whether it's bad baseball cracks or bad policy, President Obama is striking out."

    What a pathetic attempt to smear Obama.
    Romney is done.

    This shouldn't be a story. Incumbent makes a dig about the challenger's home team, light-hearted though it is, he really has no excuse to not use it as a segue to critiquing policy.
