‘Cominskey Field’? President Obama Botches Name of Home of His Beloved White Sox

"I do think that there's a different quality to what used to be Cominskey Field vs. Wrigley," President Obama told Bob Costas during an interview that aired during Tuesday night's MLB All-Star Game. [Editor's Note: The official name was Comiskey Park.]

Sox park real cool. Pure trash, where fans attack the 1st base coach. Obama just hates success and successful people and has to take a shot every chance he gets. Its Commisky Park now US Cellular Field- not Commiskey Field you tool.

Abe   July 15th, 2009 - 1:27 pm

This is a story about nothing. yo, the above poster, is fat.

LOL   July 15th, 2009 - 1:28 pm

Dont ever talk again d-bag. like you’ve never mispronounced anything.

stop2think   July 15th, 2009 - 1:30 pm

Is anyone surprised? Without his teleprompter, he is pathetic. There is not a genuine bone in his body.

Todd   July 15th, 2009 - 1:31 pm

Smartest president ever. LOL! Take this smirking chump’s teleprompter away and he’s a stuttering dimwit of janitorial proportions.

Mike   July 15th, 2009 - 1:31 pm

It seems to me if obama doesn’t have a teleprompter, he’s not that smart.

Kooth-Aid Olbermann   July 15th, 2009 - 1:31 pm

He let it slip that it is going to be renamed as a commemorative of the goals of his administration – Communist Field. Upon entry, patrons’ pockets will be shaken free of coins and other valuables by special machines that can determine who is carrying or owns more money than has been deemed acceptable by “The Committee”. And media coverage in the new Communist Park will be limited to the “suitably vetted” NBC networks and the New York Times, so, regardless of actual outcome, all future games will be declared no-hitters and perfect games in favor of the home team by these media outlets. All bow and genuflect to His Munificence!

Dumb Cubs fan...   July 15th, 2009 - 1:31 pm

Hey Yo, its spelled C-O-M-I-S-K-E-Y Park, and to a true Sox fan it will always be Comiskey Park. Don’t forget that the Cubbies were one of the first professional baseball teams to sell the naming rights when the their owner William Wrigley changed Cub’s Park’s name to Wrigley Field to help promote his Wrigley Chewing Gum.

When you are attacking someone, don’t look like a boob doing it.

lolwut   July 15th, 2009 - 1:32 pm

It could be worse, he could be a cubs fan

Retired   July 15th, 2009 - 1:32 pm

Yeah but this typical mooncricket doesn’t even know better. And you idiots elected him. You let him take over your insurance, banks, housing, census. Ha. What a joke.

RobertoK   July 15th, 2009 - 1:35 pm

Comminsky Field? LOL!! Let’s really honor him by renaming it “Alinsky Park”. That would be fitting!

anon   July 15th, 2009 - 1:35 pm

Also, it’s Comiskey “Park,” not Comiskey “Field.” Another error.

Tom   July 15th, 2009 - 1:36 pm

Also, it’s a “park” not a “field”.

John   July 15th, 2009 - 1:36 pm

Sounds to me like he just called the Cubs fans sissies .. not that that is entirely wrong, but coming from a guy who throws like a girl it’s kinda sad.

RobertoK   July 15th, 2009 - 1:36 pm

I’ll never forget when Obama was in Tampa during the campaign, he rooted for Tampa Bay, then when he was in Philly, he rooted for Philly. Remember that? This guy is a total fraud.

uu1runner   July 15th, 2009 - 1:36 pm

Imagine if Bush would have done that…the media and the late night comedians would be all over that. He throws like a girl too…just sayin

chris   July 15th, 2009 - 1:38 pm

F YOU OBAMA!

Prompter   July 15th, 2009 - 1:38 pm

Teleprompter made him do it…just like it made him short hop the first pitch (which he threw like a girl).

Revote   July 15th, 2009 - 1:39 pm

To think I voted for this fraud. :(

arkansas man   July 15th, 2009 - 1:40 pm

RUSH IS RIGHT HE THROWS LIKE A LITTLE WEAK GIRL DIDNT EVEN MAKE TO HOME PLATE I BET THAT EMBARRSED ALBERT TO BE ON THE FIELD WITH THE LITTLE SISSY

kidshare   July 15th, 2009 - 1:40 pm

Well, at least we all got to see the president throw a strike last night….haha NOT

john   July 15th, 2009 - 1:40 pm

no obama guy here, but am a chicago guy…that is how many locals pronounce it – also say soldiers field instaed of soldier field

if   July 15th, 2009 - 1:41 pm

Obama and biden are 10 times the gaff machine that bush and Cheney were, the only difference is liberals howled and mocked bush but show their hypocrisy when they brush off every crazy moronic thing there messiah does and says. You nuts voted this crazy some-b into office and we all are in for a 3.5 year ride of major mistakes that will make every previous president look like a saint.

ELM   July 15th, 2009 - 1:41 pm

Obama, what a joke. plus he throws like a puss and he doesn’t have an honest bone in his body, especially toward his gay side.

ARKANSAS MAN   July 15th, 2009 - 1:42 pm

TO REVOTE I GOT ABOUT 30 BLACK FRIENDS THAT HAS APOLOGIZED FOR VOTING FOR OBAMA THEY SAY THEY CANT EVEN AFFORD SMOKES NOW

RLinc   July 15th, 2009 - 1:42 pm

Hey dumb cubs fan- how can you sell naming rights to yourself? The owner put his own name on the stadium, as you noted his last name is Wrigley. Yes, he may have done it to advertise his chewing gum, but he didn’t “sell the naming rights”, he just changed the name. Either that or he just sat down and wrote a big fat check to HIMSELF. . .makes sense.

Jasonn   July 15th, 2009 - 1:43 pm

Our Dufus-in-Chief is helpless without his teleprompter. God help us!

ARKANSAS MAN   July 15th, 2009 - 1:44 pm

I HOPE TEXAS GETS OUT OF THE UNION I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WILL MOVE THERE CAUSE THE ARK GOVENOR IS JUST LIKE OBAMA

Dennis   July 15th, 2009 - 1:45 pm

Obamam probably has communism on his mind.

You know the anti capitalistic anti corporation agenda he’s running.not too mention socialist medicine.

So, Obama wants to re-name it to Kommunist Field.

picklepants7   July 15th, 2009 - 1:45 pm

i would say obama throws like a girl, but that would be an insult to my nine year old daughter who can pitch. did you notice when obama got on the mound that obama placed his foot on the rubber instead of up against the rubber? he looked like he didn’t know what he was doing out there last night.

Norm   July 15th, 2009 - 1:45 pm

Has there ever been a man as totally lost as Wacky Obama. I can’t wait until Trojan names a vibrator after him.

Watch your ankles sports fans.

Hoops Fraud Too   July 15th, 2009 - 1:45 pm

Funny thing is, his basketball jumper is just as bad as his baseball toss. He’s touted as this big sports guy, but my 6 year-old daughter has better form than he does…and she doesn’t apologize for the greatness of America.

Last night reminded me of the hilarious and staged Al Gore Family Football Game the day after Election 2000.

Gen. Lee Wright   July 15th, 2009 - 1:46 pm

I’m surprised he didn’t call it “Chomsky Park”.

J C   July 15th, 2009 - 1:47 pm

total fraud and coming from a guy who throws like a girl it’s kinda sad.

Agree With Revote   July 15th, 2009 - 1:47 pm

Right there with you Revote. My family made the same darn mistake, but thankfully, we won’t make it again.

Obama Lied & The Economy Died

Nobama   July 15th, 2009 - 1:51 pm

He’s a blubbering idiot and I’m proud so say I didn’t vote for the moron, but happy to hear when those who did admit they made a mistake…it gives me great hope for the future. He’s an embarassment. I’m a girl and I can throw better than him :)

Tongan Toast   July 15th, 2009 - 1:53 pm

the emperor has no clothes, except for a white sox jacket. and apparently the white sox jacket has no clothes, either.

fraud.

tomatodon   July 15th, 2009 - 1:54 pm

Freudian slip by the statist in power. What a pathetic individual! This guy will turn this country into a top tiered third world country. Hold on to your wallets.

Singe   July 15th, 2009 - 1:54 pm

Of course we could always go back to the Bush-Cheney years. Failed policies, failed administration, failed ideas and a Secret Super Assassination Squad. Real health care reform, real progress on the issues that have been stagnated for far too long, and a better dialogue with the countries of the world. America is moving forward. Get on board or get out of the way.

jimmycarter   July 15th, 2009 - 1:55 pm

sounds like he is a really big fan of the sox? how can you not know something like that and say you’re from chicago? This is far worse than no knowing that Austrians speak German. And people wonder why we have the highest deficit in the history of our country, $1 trillion, possibly headed to $2 trillion this fall. It’s because his math is as good as his reading ability. This presidency is becoming a joke after 6 mos., he makes Carter look like a financial genius.

X   July 15th, 2009 - 1:56 pm

Gen. Lee Wright…I was thinking the exact same thing!

mad_as_H   July 15th, 2009 - 1:56 pm

Recall your Senator and Representative IMMEDIATELY. DEMAND they get home and discuss the issues instead of back-room dealing in DC. Bring the darn bill home so WE can read it.

Obama/Pelosi/Reid want to FORCE another major social and financial change upon us before we can mobilize.

The only way to stop this before 2010 is RECALL NOW!

JuanPeron   July 15th, 2009 - 1:56 pm

After seeing the Marxist sissy throw out the first pitch last night, I’m not surprised he doesn’t know the name of the stadium of his favorite team. It reminds me of the time John Kerry put on hunting jacket and hat, went up to Wisconsin and mispronounced Lambeau Field. These Marxocrats are NOT real men.

P.   July 15th, 2009 - 1:58 pm

If it had been a Republican president the media would’ve been all over it. Proof that the media is in bed with the Great Dictator, Obama. Dummy can’t go 5 seconds without a teleprompter.

President_Putin   July 15th, 2009 - 1:59 pm

Several helpful things to vent your anger (at the right people and place):
1. Cancel all newspapers and cable (propaganda).
2. Attend TEA PARTIES or organize one in your area.
3. Avoid purchasing non-essentials.
4. Save as much money as possible.
5. Attend local government money and FORCE them to stop accepting matching Federal Funds for projects they can’t afford.
6. Call your Senators and Representatives EVERY time you are mad about something. Tell them we don’t need them if they let OBAMA run the country.
7. Tell all your friends and relatives to do the same.
8. Subscribe to power organizations like NRA and Heritage Foundation.
9. Vote Independent and Republican (where you can stomach the candidate). Vote with a HEAVY BIAS against Democrats and LIBERAL Democrats especially.
10. Contribute money to defeat Pelosi, Dodd, Frank, Waxman and their ilk in 2010.
11. Learn about the Climate Change HOAX and GREEN SHOOTS HOAX being foisted upon us. Challenge everyone you meet to become informed. Google Milankovitch Cycle.
12. Avoid buying union made products, especially cars.
13. Pressure your state government to FIRE UNNECESSARY employees BEFORE RAISING TAXES. Get citizens to review what is going on or not going on.

Desiree   July 15th, 2009 - 2:00 pm

Obama is a girly man. I can throw better than him. What a tool. The teleprompter tragedy, his first pitch (those jeans, can you say dork) and this Cominskey Field comment should be all over the late night “comedy” shows. I’m not holding my breath on that. But all this comes from the commie socialist that said we have 57 states.

Other   July 15th, 2009 - 2:00 pm

“Singe July 15th, 2009 – 1:54 pm

Of course we could always go back to the Bush-Cheney years. Failed policies,”

name one.

forgotten man   July 15th, 2009 - 2:01 pm

What a dork. Obama is an epic failure. The happiest person in the US is Carter, as he is being rescued from the bottom of the presidents list.

Mark W   July 15th, 2009 - 2:02 pm

I agree with the post about him (our King) not having a genuine bone in his body. This guy really is a fraud. Most Presidents would wear nicer attire to an event like this also. I guess we’re lucky his jeans weren’t hanging down around his knees while wearing his hat gangsta style!

I want my old country back!!

Obummer   July 15th, 2009 - 2:03 pm

What can you expect from total fraud,he would root for the team in what ever city he’s busy screwing over at the time,Obama is a POS.

Ramon Luis~Andres   July 15th, 2009 - 2:03 pm

This Obama`s throw was about as horrible as his first ptch. He was boo`d…and Bush was praised.

loren   July 15th, 2009 - 2:04 pm

So, I am wondering about something. Since PBO’s teleprompter died, will Biden’s teleprompter assume the office?

beowulfe   July 15th, 2009 - 2:04 pm

Oh come on! Everyone know that Obama is our Lord and Savior, and is the smartest man on Earth! If he says it’s “Comminsky Field”, he’s not wrong. Reality is just wrong!

Young Ex-Repub from FL   July 15th, 2009 - 2:04 pm

BLAH BLAH BLAH. GRIPE GRIPE GRIPE. GAFFE GAFFE GAFFE. “Anytime I see a headline on Drudge Report.com regarding a non-GOP president or member of government, I must TROLL.” “Rush is right, Oxycontin DOES cause hearing loss.” “Let’s incite a riot, while we ignore the true troubles that are facing this fine country.”

I find the petty squabbles I’m lead to through Drudge to be most disheartening. I’m no FAN of Obama. Nor do I wet my pants at the name of Ronald Regan. I honestly find when topics such as this create such a stir, that NOBODY has any sense of priority.

Let the flaming begin, you lovely flamers.

mark   July 15th, 2009 - 2:05 pm

1. Stock up on scotch and cigars
2. Practice hitting my “Obama’s Face” toilet target.
3. Decline invitation to Saul Alinsky Center ribbon cutting.

at least he knows how to pronounce Pakistan correctly, LOL

blackirishblonde   July 15th, 2009 - 2:06 pm

Sounds Russian to me!!!! Must have mixed the name up with one of his czars

holly lake   July 15th, 2009 - 2:06 pm

Haaaa! Every day it’s something new.
Monday – falling teleprompter
Tuesday – phony FAN mantra
Wednesday – hey…..WHAT is POTUS doing this afternoon

They should do a teleprompter implant in his scull immediately. It’d solve two problems simultaneously. Hey…..at least they’d be doing something productive….and SOLVING problems instead of CREATING problems.

Warrior07   July 15th, 2009 - 2:08 pm

Botch, botch, botch. What’s another batch of botches. We will see many more in the next 40 months or until “O” really screws up and is I-M-P-E-A-C-H-E-D.

Tro da bum out!

Where did his 1st pitch land any way? The televised coverage didn’t really show. Camara Angle or something. Kinda like the MSM coverage of his campaign and term so far.

B-O-T-C-H this you BE-OTCH.

Sarah, Sarah, where for art you Sarah….

Partisan   July 15th, 2009 - 2:08 pm

Hey Singe..

You said “Of course we could always go back to the Bush-Cheney years. Failed policies, failed administration, failed ideas and a Secret Super Assassination Squad. Real health care reform, real progress on the issues that have been stagnated for far too long, and a better dialogue with the countries of the world. America is moving forward. Get on board or get out of the way.”

You’ve been lied to for years. Everything you believe is wrong. Start thinking and stop feeling would be my advice.

Jeff L   July 15th, 2009 - 2:08 pm

At least, Bush knew baseball. But of course, he is a natural born American.

forgotten man   July 15th, 2009 - 2:11 pm

It is becoming clear the Obama can’t manage a budget or do math. He is quick to throw out that we are out of money but then argues for more spending. He tells us that to fix the problem we need to take on more debt.

Anyone else notice that his toted economic stimulus is really government stimulus. The government is not the economy. Growing the government doesn’t grow the economy, it retards the private sectors ability to grow. And with all the debt the government has it will stop the economy from growing.

I didn’t vote for the guy and I said I was going to give him a chance but he blew that chance 5 months ago. One screwup after another. I am sick and tired of his smugness…and so are a lot of my Obama supporting co-workers and friends.

Boots   July 15th, 2009 - 2:11 pm

Any real southsider knows that the Sox played at “Comiskey Park” up
until 1990. The replacement park was Comiskey Park for awhile,
until 2003 when U.S. Cellular bought the naming rights.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comiskey_Park

That other park, up on the northside, is named “Wrigley Field”.
NOBODY who grew up here would ever say “Wrigley Park” or
“Comiskey Field”. That’s probably the only thing these two
sets of fans have in common, they know their ballparks!

jerry   July 15th, 2009 - 2:11 pm

Just another example that this guy is the biggest phony ever to sit in the Oval Office. Most of the other Chicago thugs know where their teams play. And the games go on!!!!

T-bone   July 15th, 2009 - 2:12 pm

When he says the “nose bleed seats” and “vertigo” I think he’s talking about the Cell before the renovations. Comiskey – an Irish name, not an eastern Euorpean name – Cominski cmon. 10- 1 odds to anyone that thinks he was ever at Comiskey. Paid on proof.

Tom Sneal   July 15th, 2009 - 2:13 pm

Where’s George Bush when you need someone to screw up the English language like no one else can.

Let’s face it: Bush was a man who could not talk about education without making a humiliating grammatical mistake (”The illiteracy level of our children are appalling”); who cannot keep straight the three branches of government (”It’s the executive branch’s job to interpret law”); who coins ridiculous words(”Hispanos,” “arbolist,” “subliminable,” “resignate,” “transformationed”); who habitually says the opposite of what he intends (”the death tax is good for people from all walks of life!”)
I’ll put Obama up against George any day of the week.

Chris   July 15th, 2009 - 2:13 pm

Atleast he can pronounce words like nuclear, and strategy. You know, words that matter. Not that any of you dumb hicks know how to pronounce anything that wasnt written in the bible or posted on karlrove.com.

Cardiac   July 15th, 2009 - 2:14 pm

He as much as called the Cub fans a bunch of sissies, not that their is anything wrong with it.

tom Gee   July 15th, 2009 - 2:15 pm

hes old school sox fan. i like it

lance   July 15th, 2009 - 2:17 pm

fool me once shame on you
fool me twice shame on me
wont get fooled again

Sam Deakins, Richmond KY   July 15th, 2009 - 2:18 pm

It was the teleprompter’s fault. Just like when he was lecturing that class in at Moscow U a week or so ago. The teleprompter told Obama to say he had met his wife Michelle in class when actually it was at their workplace. That sneaky teleprompter is a real horse’s arse.

linda   July 15th, 2009 - 2:19 pm

idiots….

http://www.suntimes.com/chicago/chicagopedia/1023258,CST-NWS-pedia25.article

find something else to bitch about.i know MANY sox fans who call it this for fun….

Mark W   July 15th, 2009 - 2:21 pm

Chris @ 2:13 – Bush never acted like he knew it all, because he obviously didn’t. But your guy, our King Obama, likes to talk and act like he’s up on EVERY issue. Hey, he lived in Chicago for over a decade, no? How does he mispronounce his favorite team’s ballpark?

Our best hope is he continues to speak occasionally sans teleprompter so more and more voters see what this guy is all about.

Leon   July 15th, 2009 - 2:21 pm

Half the old-timers in Chicago call iComiskey “Cominskey”.

BTW: They call Soldier Field “Soldiers”.

And they call Roosevelt Road “Ruse-e-velt”.

And they Goethe “Go-Thee”.

They also know the answer to the question, “Which 3 Chicago streets rhyme with the word vagina?”

I am sure Obama knows the answer, though he can never let on.

I am also pretty sure that few of the posters above know the answer.

If you do — you’ve earned, so take your shots on the word “Field” — he hacked it, no doubt.

If you don’t — shut up.

Regina   July 15th, 2009 - 2:23 pm

COMINSKEY/COMISKEY? LOOK ON THE “MLB” WEB-SITE, YOU CAN FIND THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF ALL THE BALL PARKS…….SEE WHAT THEIR INFO STATES….COMINSKEY…..IF YOU LIVE IN CHICAGO YOU KNOW THAT BOTH SPELLINGS HAVE BEEN USED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER…….

Bwahaha   July 15th, 2009 - 2:23 pm

Obama rules. Suck it, losers.

Den   July 15th, 2009 - 2:25 pm

Chris,

Posted like the true sheep that you are…LOL
At least the “hicks” are smarter than you stupid city dwellers that lay around all day waiting for more free stuff from people like the HICKS that actually want to work.
You’re just another loser trying to make it on someone else’s dime.
Get off you butt and earn a living you freeloading Obama supporter…he’s a fraud and America’s first Presidential imposter…again you must be born in the USA to serve as President…ha serve that’s a joke!

The Respected Doofinator   July 15th, 2009 - 2:25 pm

Obama was confusing it with “Alinsky Park”. That’s where the Reds play.

MikeMaz   July 15th, 2009 - 2:28 pm

Funny how many of you rednecks ignored 8 years of a total illiterate bufoon destroying the
English language but somehow this totally irrelevant mispronunciation of Comiskey and all
of a sudden you jump all over him. Reeks of desperation and sour grapes because you
are dying for the Dems to have president who is as much of a waste as teh previous one
and it just isnt happening.

seamus   July 15th, 2009 - 2:28 pm

Lighten up guys. I don’t like Obama, never voted for him, but as a life long South Sider I’ve heard plenty of guys call it Cominsky. Can we not turn into the left who just used to bash Bush about whatever?

Heck I enjoyed his shot at Wrigley. But I disagree with what he said about not hating the Cubs. If you like the Sox, you hate the Cubs. It’s like a law or should be.

Kevin   July 15th, 2009 - 2:29 pm

What an absolute tool this guy is…Bhahahhahahahah. He’s been hanging around communists all his life..so he’s use to the “inskey” in everybody’s name. ROTFLMAO

steve   July 15th, 2009 - 2:30 pm

Can you impeach a president ( small p on purpose) for being an ignorant fool

Tin Foil Hat saler   July 15th, 2009 - 2:30 pm

LMAO at these comments and that there would be 74 of them over this Bull SH*T news thread.

Nunc   July 15th, 2009 - 2:31 pm

oh NOES, he said “Field” instead of “Park.” Certainly unqualified to be president. No one gives a hoot about baseball nowadays anyway. Get over yourselves.

Desiree   July 15th, 2009 - 2:31 pm

Well how can we expect Kenyan born Poser of the United States to know which Chicago ball park is which. SHOW US THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!!!

MikeMaz   July 15th, 2009 - 2:31 pm

Rush making a comment about Obamas throwing technique ( which was sorta girlish I admit)?
Yeah because Rush looks real athletic himself..id pick Obama over that fat windbag in
pretty much any sport.

steve   July 15th, 2009 - 2:32 pm

With barry you have to laugh – too sick on him to cry
Time for a real change
IMPEACH BARRY

Vito   July 15th, 2009 - 2:32 pm

BO’s alleged “love” of baseball and the WS is just another lie of the administration. No man that I know that loves baseball throws a ball like a little girl. And to not even know the name of the stadium in which your alleged “favorite team” plays? Come on folks. Another ploy to make us think BO is just a normal guy.

MikeMaz   July 15th, 2009 - 2:32 pm

You people do remember who was running the country the previous 8 years right?
A simple you tubing of Bushisms will remind you what a real moron is like.

Steve   July 15th, 2009 - 2:33 pm

What do the prez and Jesus have in common?
Neither has a birth certificate

RocketRick   July 15th, 2009 - 2:35 pm

Give the guy a break. He didn’t grow up in Chicago, he moved there. He supports the White Sox; enough said. Yes, it was Comiskey Park, named after the Old Roman, Charles Comiskey. So, what. Even as a life long Sox fan and Republican, I like this guy. He gets it!

Nunc   July 15th, 2009 - 2:35 pm

who the heck cares how he throws a baseball? Since when was that a job qualification for an office job? I’m a true golf fan but I’ve never swung a club. Is there a problem with that?

Navy65   July 15th, 2009 - 2:36 pm

Really looked like a “sweetie” up there throwing that ball, came up short. Made the camera angle show it so you could not tell it came up short. What a poser,just like everything else he does. Maybe he should have had the TOTUS throw it for him! Crap Greta Van Susteren throws better than him.

w   July 15th, 2009 - 2:36 pm

OMG he mispronounced a baseball stadium!!! the HORROR

what a bunch of moronic posts

Kevin   July 15th, 2009 - 2:37 pm

Not only is he not a natural born citizen..with a throw like that, we might want to check for a penis as well.

Regina   July 15th, 2009 - 2:37 pm

Anyone that was born and raised in Chicago always had ONE favorite team..Didn’t matter if you lived on the North or South side either. My husband is a die-hard Cub fan and his father was a die-hard Sox fan…They lived north their entire lives…..

Guinny_Ire   July 15th, 2009 - 2:37 pm

no telepromter. It’s not his fault he can’t speak without one.

Falseprophet   July 15th, 2009 - 2:38 pm

You folks still caught up with Bushie’s past. He is GONE. You better be watching this new false hope and hope he doesn’t get a second term. He is a fake to which this country has never seen. I didn’t like Bush either but I would take him back in a second over this Kenyan. Bush isn’t signing your freedoms away rapidly like this clown is. Hope you like this change cuz I don’t.

Chris   July 15th, 2009 - 2:39 pm

Im from Chicago. People here call it Cominsky all the time. And again I wish a few more of you conservative idiots would have been a little more vocal these last 8 years. Even most republicans realize bush was a complete idiot. So why dont you guys just turn off the fox news for a second and think for yourselves.

Frank Burns   July 15th, 2009 - 2:39 pm

The ONE sure has a lot of free time! Parties in NYC, trysts in foreign countries, telling the rest of this crummy world that WE suck, and we’re gonna prove it by taxing the $hit out of everyone, release terrorists and prosecute anyone who dares to go after such… Under Obama, WE the citizens are the enemy; WE must be crushed; like the devil’s tongue, it’s forked: free the Muslim enemies to attack; then crush dissent with attacks on our Bill of Rights.

O-BLAH-MA   July 15th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

This guy is a boring fraud. Nothing he says is genuine and the evidence is the plethora of audible pauses that he spews whenever he opens his mouth. Kaminskey is just one example of his numerous ignorant verbal botches. He is a political puppet and if he ever had to spend a week in office without his advisors, he’d implode. It’s amazing how unintelligent our president is, and it’s bizarre how all the numbskulls who adore him think that he’s brilliant!

Brian   July 15th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

It’s not Obama’s fault. Cominskey is the name of one of Obama’s USSR comrades.

nunc   July 15th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

yeah, saying “field” instead of “park” in an interview is PROOF that he can’t speak without a teleprompter if I’ve ever seen one. btw, I just stubbed my toe on the doorframe walking in. That must prove that I have the inability to walk and should be confined to a wheelchair.

Jane Gault   July 15th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

I guess he’s a Sox fan come lately, since the park is now named US Cellular Field (aka the Cell). The Cell cannot compare to Wrigley Field for the sight lines, the beauty or the overall experience. Cubs fans are more knowledgeable about baseball, too, no matter what Sox fans say. I haven’t seen anyone keeping score at a Sox game, ever. Well I take that back. I once kept score at at a Sox game–not easy because they don’t print up many scorecards and run out early. Obama just thinks it’s the “cool” thing to claim to be a South side Sox fan. It’s not.

NeoCon   July 15th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

OMG. I cannot believe all the Obama suck ups who are defending this guy. If it’s such a small thing, what are you so worried about? BTW, he can’t be a real Sox fan if he doesn’t despise the Cubbies.

He’s not a leader, not an innovator, not a builder, and knows only how to take not to achieve. Heck he can’t even find his way home, wherever home might actually be he’s two hops short. Thank goodness there was one athlete ready to short hop the girlyman and his girly toss. Kind of sad when there are kids playing the summer game in Tball with a stronger arm than the great pretender. But then maybe he was watching the wrong game since he was at Cominsky Park!

Mike   July 15th, 2009 - 2:51 pm

Tramaker   July 15th, 2009 - 2:52 pm

Anyone who has heard Obama do any one of countless interviews over the last 2-3 years knows he comes off just as intelligent and thoughtful as he does with the teleprompter. Everyone who has met him – regardless whether they agree with him politically or not – says he is super smart and analytical. He’s a graduate of Columbia and Harvard and was a constitutional law professor. So, please, spare me the nonsense about him not being smart. Are you people even in reality?

For someone who’s such “a fan”, obama’s ignorance is laughable! However, if he were named George Bush or Dan Quayle, there wouldn’t be any laughing going on, because everyone would be screaming about how “ignorant” and/or “stupid” he was as “a fan” for not knowing that it’s “Comisky Park”………

I live in San Diego, and ALL of the Padres fans I know would be embarassed if anyone caught them calling Petco Park “Petco Field”………hell, their fellow Padre fans might DISOWN them for doing that! (Every one of them that I know corrects me on any error I make when talking about their beloved Padres!)

Raoul Ortega   July 15th, 2009 - 2:58 pm

Before he defected, Harry Caray was asked by Jimmy Piersall, “why don’t the Sox draw in day games like that other team?”. The reply: “That’s because our fans work.”

And no matter how many terms The Big Zero! may serve, that Northside team (and its fans) are gonna make sure that any Chicago World Series first pitch He throws will be in “Cominsky Field.”

Not from Chicago, so I don’t know about the last part of the above statement being true or not… but took Regina’s advice/challenge and went on MLB.com
Looked at the address and under “ballpark history” and nowhere was the word “Cominskey” used that I could see. Also did a search for “cominskey” on the main MLB.com site and no results were found.
Either I missed something or this is another desperate attempt to lie and cover up another Obama mistake.
While this mistake is small and petty, it along with the lies and historical re-writes used to explain it point to a larger issue. Every time Mr. Obama says something wrong or potentially controversial, there is someone ready to tell us mere subjects what he REALLY meant or to invent a history that up to that point didn’t exist so that he will be proven correct… and no one of importance challenges this! This is a dangerous way of governance we have not seen in the United States in quite some time.

Bush haters — you guys really are complete morons — do you not get it that the reason conservatives like to point out all the idiotic things Obama and his team say and do is because we were told for eight years that Bush was ineligible to be president because of all the stupid things he said? Now when we point those things out we get the “well what about Bush — bwaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!”

Liberal whinters – gotta love ‘em. I worked with one who said he thought we should be paying more taxes to help poor people. I suggested he start with himself and pay extra. He didn’t like that idea. I asked if he just meant he wanted my money. He had no answer. That’s when they start the name calling.

“Even most republicans realize bush was a complete idiot. So why dont you guys just turn off the fox news for a second and think for yourselves.”

Well I’ve thought about it and the largest deficit in history $1 trillion, possibly headed close to $2 trillion by the end of the year is not my idea of hope or change. Obama calls it a slight math error on his part about his rosy view on the economy, well he is making Jimmy Carter look like a financial genius. This presidency is a joke and O still has 3.5 yrs. to be a lame duck. 2010 is going to be a landslide.

Joe Biden.

Ok Ok… we get rid of both of them (again, for what crime?) and we get…
President Nancy Pelosi.

So we get rid of her (all at the same time…) then we have…
President Robert Byrd. (maybe we can get some parks here in Oregon named after him…)

For some strange reason, they are all at Chominsky Park when it collapses… We get …
President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Since she is a Cubbies fan, and she wants to see Obama screw up the name of the stadium, she perishes along with them… Then we have:
President Timothy Geithner.

It looks pretty dim, doesn’t it?
Let’s look before we leap on this whole presidential succession (in case you are wondering…
Robert “don’t call me Bill” Gates, Eric “Set the hoodlums free” Holder, Ken Salazar, Tom Vilsack, Gary Lock, Hilda Solis, Kathleen Sebelius, Shaun Donovan, Ray LaHood, Steven Chu, Arne Duncan, Eric Shinseki, before finally getting to DHS Secretary Janet “Veterans are Terrorists” Nepolitano.

we can! Yes we can! Resistence is futile!”), he probably would have realized that, for the sake
of his grandness image (and since the Teleprompter-In-Chief would not be able to help him out in
this instance), Der Feuer Chairman Obama would have actually practiced with someone who knew how
to play the game and could have at least helped him look and throw respectably. Just remember:

I am a Sox fan by the way. I know Obama said ‘there’s a Sox fan who actively roots against the Cubs and partied when the Bartmen thing happened’, well he should tell both sides of the story, where all the Cubs ‘fans’ who couldn’t name a player two weeks earlier all of a sudden acted like they knew everything about Mark Prior, calling him the best pitcher of all time, and trying to ram it down everyone’s throat

It took him ten years to climb that mountain. It broke every bone in his body, it tore the skin off his hands, it made him lose his home, his name, his love. But he climbed it. He found the fountain of youth, which he wanted to bring down to men. Only he never came back.

He couldn’t bring it back, because no one would accept it.

I am so glad that many people have indicated that they will not make the mistake of voting for Obama again.

I just can’t help but wonder why many of you voted for him in the first place? I don’t want an answer that sounds like a bumper sticker (”vote for hope”, “we need change”, “hope for change”, “hope for hope” …).

What single real reason did he give anyone to vote for him ??

Candidate Obama was the same arrogant socialist that has now become president Obama. He spoke candidly on the campaign trail of “spreading the money around”.

He was one of the most liberal senators in our history.

It’s time for Americans to turn off the mainstream media that put this guy in office and start using their brains to form their own opinions about our politicians.

He said they met in class but they didn’t meet until after he graduated from college. How dumb is this guy? I truly believe he is a robot that cannot speak until the teleprompter is running. He’s from the Twilight Zone.

bulldog   July 15th, 2009 - 4:25 pm

I do not care what he calls the baseball field, but I do care that our deficit will be the same size as our GDP in a few years.

When those that said the dot com ralley was ready to burst no one believed them. What will folks believe when Economists say the dollar will soon be valueless. I am pretty freaked that no one is freaking out over our “out of control” spending. It would be unbelievable if it was not really happening.

gusdmh   July 15th, 2009 - 4:25 pm

Reminds me of Sen. Kerry pretending to be part of Red Sox Nation: My favorite player is “Manny Ortiz.

What a dope!

Jim   July 15th, 2009 - 4:26 pm

Sure hes a big fan, don’t even know the name of the ballpark his team plays in

Rocky   July 15th, 2009 - 4:26 pm

What a sissy pitch Obama threw. Defend THAT, Obamaniacs. Then the stupidity of the “Cominskey Field” remark. Geez! He should not have gone to the game. Everyone’s laughing at him more this morning than they ever have.

Dave   July 15th, 2009 - 4:31 pm

Hey bulldog,

Don’t worry about our out of control deficits, nationalized healthcare will be here soon …

It’s absolutely amazing how Obama always wants to rush things through before anyone really understands what they are. In his mind it so important that we rush through a 1-2 Trillion dollar bill in the next few weeks.

I don’t think we should do it at all, but to put that type of a rush on it is completely senseless. His only reason to rush it is to get it through before momentum builds against it.

bljr   July 15th, 2009 - 4:35 pm

This guy is a dummy. Remember when he said there was 57 states. Notice the bad camera angle for the first pitch .Bush drilled it right over the plate after 9/11 at Yankie stadium.

Chuck   July 15th, 2009 - 4:37 pm

Reminds me of when Presidential Candidate John Kerry talked about his beloved “Lambert Field”…Home of the Packers…They both will have their spots in hell.

Mike Smith   July 15th, 2009 - 4:41 pm

Imagine is Bush would have said this !!!!!

claspur   July 15th, 2009 - 4:47 pm

Read the injunction filed today on behalf of
Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook(US Army Res.) by Dr. Orly Taitz, on her site: “orlytaitzesq.com”

I just finished it. Maj. Cook has a real case now because The DOD is in violation of The Whistleblower Protection Act.
The man has been fired from his job for being a conciencious objector, and questioning Obama’s legitimacy to holding the position as President of the United States.

The lid is finally going to blow-off this Obamanation, and soon.

claspur   July 15th, 2009 - 4:48 pm

Oh yeah…. and He throws a ball like my five year old daughter.

Monica   July 15th, 2009 - 4:50 pm

Sorry, but as someone raised in Chicago, it’s “Sox Park.” Somehow, I think Obama wasn’t as big a baseball fan as he pretends to be.

Kevin   July 15th, 2009 - 4:54 pm

Look, anybody with an IQ greater than single digits knows this guy is a fraud. The only question remaining is who is pulling his strings. No birth certificate. No medical records. No elementary school records. No college records. NOTHING.

LMAO at the libs who voted for this clown…..

Joe   July 15th, 2009 - 5:00 pm

Get Obama off the teleprompter and he just proves what a complete fraud he is.

1. He pronounces it Com-min-sky – Correct Co-Mis-Key
2. It is Co-Mis-Key PARK not Com-min-sky Field
3. New Sox Park – aka US Cellular Field has the vertigo problems before they made adjustments and it still blows – not the old park as bumer said.
4. He makes fun of the Cubs right after he said he was not a Cubs hater. Barack you are a hater.

I saw on ESPN a new angle of Obama’s throw and it is beyond terrible. It is the biggest biatoch toss I have ever seen. This is just in. Obama has been disqualified of POTUS for breaking the don’t ask don’t tell policy for gays in the military. If Obama’s dancing on the Ellen show or being married to a man wasn’t enough proof enough Obama is gay, his attempt at throwing a baseball confirmed Obama is gay.

NMJune   July 15th, 2009 - 5:22 pm

Cominskey perhaps sound more Russian and that would surely appeal more to this guy. Fits in with all his Czars and Communist tendencies. Americans who voted for him got suckered and all of us are paying for it.

Impeach!

Far Right Wing Wacko   July 15th, 2009 - 5:30 pm

Man, it’s just too comical that all you right wing loonies can jump on about a man with so much left on his plate by the last C- student and stupid assed dummy of a President, is his mispronunciation of a corporate baseball park. Truly pathetic! Have fun while you can because it will be going on for the next 100 years at the rate the Rethugs are diminishing!

And the Far Right Rethuglican’t Hypocrisy Comedy Parade Continues………

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   July 15th, 2009 - 5:35 pm

America…what did we expect? He never played baseball in his life. He grew up without a father…no T Ball…no Little League…only teachings from the Koran in Indonesia!

Did learn to bow deeply and respectfully to the King…Abdullah! Did learn how to bow and pray five times a day…did learn that America and all infidels were evil…did learn that only things Islamic were worthy!

Only learned about baseball after he found liberalism as a way of life while being a community organizer.

No experience in business and/or baseball…what did you expect?

Sarah   July 15th, 2009 - 6:02 pm

Hey, shut up about him throwing like a girl! I could have gotten that ball across the plate and so could my 9 year old daughter! Can’t we just say he throws like a prissy little wuss? Thanks, I appreciate it!

They are changing the name of the park as we speak. I guess we will have about 2 weeks of the networks having there news shows remote with the name in the backdrop. Gees what complete waste of being with this group.

Sirjaxx   July 15th, 2009 - 8:27 pm

Cominsky Park is Shorthand for Communist-Alinsky Park!

But what else is new?

Drugtaker Bonds   July 15th, 2009 - 8:37 pm

No way is BHO going to be in office for eight years. When the birth certificate is finally found he will be out of office.

RUKidding   July 15th, 2009 - 9:21 pm

Obama will redeem himself when he sings the “Star Sprinkled Banner” at Wrigley Stadium before a Grizzlies game.

H2K   July 16th, 2009 - 12:43 am

Foreigners never learned to throw a baseball correctly. Obama is a foreigner, right?

t-bone   July 16th, 2009 - 4:12 am

I’m a White Sox fan, ok?
I’m not an Obama fan, but since we’re at it, there once was a time that
I also called Comiskey Park, “Cominskey”. That was the park at 35th and
Shields and was constructed of I-beams. It seemed to be a gloomy place, but
It had an unusual mystique to it.
It seemed as though the Gods of Baseball vacated it, but I did actually
like. Yeah, I too once called it “Cominskey”, so what?
I think The prez did well to actually reference the team’s by Its history.

Reality Bites   July 16th, 2009 - 9:05 am

Hey Cards, (and all you other Obamatrons who bridle at the mention of His Teleprompterness)

You know, we probably would let it go that The One is addicted to his teleprompter except for 8 years we heard about how dumb our president was, how he couldn’t articulate one coherent thought. And then, all through 2008 we heard how incredibly smart, and intelligent, and ARTICULATE The Annointed One is. And now that we see that, yes, actually being asked tough questions without prepared answers in front of you creates inarticulate moments, we are told this is human, never mind. So, I guess, whatever is good for the goose, ISN’T good for the gander, eh? Sorry, Obamatrons, if you could dish it out for 8 years, you can take it for four, because we’re going to remind you every day what a fraud you elected to the highest office in the land.

Twonky   July 16th, 2009 - 10:27 am

Now if he could only get TOTUS the Teleprompter to throw the ball (it’s already passing the buck).

For you movie fans check out THE TWONKY, a TV set that literally controls a man’s life – I think that’s what the One really has, and why he’s so dependent on it: here’s the IMDB.COM link (if you can’t read the link go to IMDB.COM and enter TWONKY under “titles”)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046475/

sbhayman   July 16th, 2009 - 10:39 am

I think he meant to say “Commie Field” because once the gov takes over American baseball that will be the new name of the park. The old song,”baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet” they already control 3 out of 4!

Frank Burns   July 16th, 2009 - 10:57 am

Bush was crucified for being “dumb” – imagine if he couldn’t go anywhere without a teleprompter?!

Imagine if he decided to “fix” the recession with massive tax hikes on “the rich” and then redefined what “rich” means every week. $250k is “rich”-? Ask Dodd, Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, Rockefeller, Rangel, what “rich” really is. They all have tax dodges, and that’s how they STAY rich.

Imagine we could all live their special lives, like kings and queens. They eat cake and feed us dirt. They make themselves exempt from the very laws they impose on us.

ObamaSupporter   July 16th, 2009 - 11:28 am

Reading through a lot of these posts, I am reminded just how hateful the Right really is.
You guys truly enjoy making fun and putting down someone that does not share your views.

When I used to cringe listening to W, I wouldn’t take pleasure in his faults or errors. I was embarrassed by him and for him and wanted him to somehow redeem himself. I can’t imagine going into a forum and propagating myths about W, just because I didn’t like him.

Obama is trying to clean up a mess that is many decades in the making, and you expect these changes to be made with zero sacrifice from anyone?

There is more to life than taxes, money and how someone throws a pitch or pronounces the name of a ballbark.

Sad.

Frank Burns   July 16th, 2009 - 12:41 pm

Any criticism of Obama or Dems is automatically “hate speech”

Check out how there’s no intellectual reply – if you disagree, you’re guilty of “hate speech”

And that has teeth – make no mistake, these nuts are using every chapter in Goebbels’ playbook tarring anyone who disagrees as “hateful” or “racist” -

“must hire, cannot fire”

MrGrinch   July 16th, 2009 - 1:21 pm

lol hillarious what a noob. go sox, scotty pods for prez

Sean R.   July 16th, 2009 - 2:00 pm

To ObamaSupporter your yet another typical Obama worshipper, hey schmuck let me say this to
your dumbass, WE THE AMERICAN HAVE THE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE ANY OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, if
we don’t stand up to these empty-suits, liars and grifters, than we would have a complete
“DICTATORSHIP” in this country, and I think you would love a hardcore dictatorship here?

Dumbass if you don’t like us being critical on Obama or any elected offical than my advice
for your stupidass is to move to the ex-Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea, China, Venezula,
Argentina, Iran, Syria, etc.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!!

If Bush had made a mistake like this, it would have been the lead story on MSNBC all day, the grease in the giggly hand-off between Olbermann and Maddow.

Karen   July 17th, 2009 - 3:54 pm

What….a….pathetic…issue….

BTW, all you Obama haters, the guy who said near the top of this comment section, “no obama guy here, but am a chicago guy…that is how many locals pronounce it – also say soldiers field instaed of soldier field” — it’s true, most people DO say “Cominsky Field” until they actually see how Charlie Comiskey’s name was spelled, or they’ve read “Eight Men Out” — and some never do see the name in its written form, of course.

But carry on, see how many other nitpicking little things about Obama you can hate on.

Tiny minds…

Soxfan Rich   July 18th, 2009 - 4:22 pm

As a die-hard Sox fan, it sickens me to see a poser like Obama sporting Sox gear and saying anything about the Sox. I will give him “Cominskey,” as many
South Siders are prone to this mispronunciation, but no true South Sider or Sox fan would ever refer to U.S. Cellular Field as “Comiskey (or Cominskey) Field.” Additionally, no true Sox fan wishes the Cubs well either.

I would be shocked if Obama sat in the “nose bleed” seats more than once in the old Comiskey Park. Show me the ticket stubs from the upper deck and while you are digging those up, see if you can find your birth certificate. Say what you will about Bush, but at least he was genuine and could throw a baseball 60’ 6” with more velocity than a Girl Scout.
