    Possibly the most meaningful first pitch in history. That pitch represented the mindset Americans would have moving forward, and the fact he nailed it was important to people, whether or not you think it should have. Unbelievably clutch pitch.

    jhaz89 you realize this asshole bush was a big fat stupid liar in the face of the American people right? How can you love a president who lied to you straight in the face about multiple issues, and didn't even give a fuck when he was an accomplice if not the head of the undercover job that led to the deaths of over 3,000 American civilians just so we could go into Afghanistan, and lose even more American lives? You make me sick.

    Also bare in mind this was really soon after 9/11, so it's not only a really inspiring amount of patriotism, but it's also directly after and in opposition of the biggest terrorist attack in history, in the same city it took place in. Imagine seeing him walk out there, unafraid, especially if you'd lost people in the attacks.

    "I didn't vote for him but at that point, my personal feelings about him as a politician were gone. I watched him and he was my representative... I had never felt that way before." David Fisher articulates that tremendous feeling of patriotism and unity as a country we were experiencing in the days and weeks following 9/11 so perfectly, beautifully. Didn't matter which side of the aisle you were on, we all stood as one together, as Americans together. 15 years on and this still chokes me up.

    +Jcurvs99 lets not get carried away here. it was a great and stirring moment but as human nature dictates, it was bound to be short lived. just like when someone we know dies young/suddenly and we vow to appreciate the simple things in life we ordinarily take for granted and then inevitably go back to our daily routines. It's neither good or bad, just the way we're programmed. Compared to most places in the world, we have a pretty good life here in the US, regardless of your economic or social status. we need not concern ourselves with the daily worry of putting food in our bellies or finding clean drinking water. our prosperity allows us to squabble over things like healthcare costs, sports and pop culture and in a certain way, that's actually a privilege most people from many other countries would die for. imagine being a poor villager in Afghanistan and every day you have to worry whether some Taliban animal is going to kill ur children, rape ur wife or appropriate ur home and possessions? complain to that guy about the failings of Obamacare and see how much sympathy you get.

    +John Greeneyes The very day that 9/11 happened, there were Americans complaining that New Yorkers shouldn't have died, it was people living in the Red States that should have died. By 9/12 an anti-war movement had crystalized against responding to the attacks. By April of the following year, nearly half of all New York City residents and over half of self described liberals had convinced themselves that the attacks were carried out by Americans. I know about the myth that we are so united and patriotic, but its just a myth. It was as you say something that may have seemed to be, but never was real. If it was ever real, show me the evidence of those feelings actually acted on. What really happened is that those inclined to prayer or saluting flags did so, and those who hated those people remained firm in that hatred. For a moment, a few people might have assumed the hate was going to stop, but that was hope and not based on evidence.

    Noah Cho Actually, that is incorrect. In Clintons last year of Presidency, the economy began to struggle. And the economy was destroyed by banks lending mortgages to people they knew could not pay. And if you took the time to study, you will see what political party was forcing these loans and what party was against it. Bush said on multiple occasions that this housing boom was going to be the downfall of our economy.

But he is a class act. I can't remember a single time he's ever trash talked our current POTUS. Too bad the same can't be said about "It's not my fault" Obama.

    I am proud to say that I voted for President Bush. He wasn't perfect and I disagreed with a few of his policies, but he was a decent man deep down. I remember watching the documentary "Journeys with George" about the 2000 election by Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra. While she didn't vote for him, she came to respect him as a person. She found him warm, caring, kind and genuine. This was a stark contrast to a follow-up documentary that she made about John Kerry four years later. She found Kerry to be fork-tongued, impersonal and wearing two faces -- one in public and one in private (e.g., showing up in the campaign bus to eat at a Wendy's -- only to throw away the food and order food from a personal chef a half-hour later, etc.).
