Fixing Obama's throwing motion

Though conservatives are all abuzz with the news that Obama's first pitch at the All Star Game last night wasn't very good ("Bush may have ruined the economy but at least he could throw a baseball!"), Deadspin found links to three experts who analyzed Obama's throw.

What did they say? Well, his technique wasn't all that good, but it wasn't that surprising since he never played baseball even as a kid.

As Dr. Mike Marshall, a former MLB reliever, said:
I've seen him shoot jump shots. He has an excellent shooting stroke. It's not all that much different throwing a baseball. It takes training, though, and I'd like him to spend as much time as he can on fixing the economy.
At least he's better at baseball than bowling, though.
