Barack Obama is driving some of his detractors into foul territory.
You just get the impression that every little thing he does has them sputtering.
I first noticed this when the military freed an American captain by killing three Somali pirates and there was grumbling on the right that Obama hadn't moved fast enough.
I can certainly understand critics being turned off by some of the more gushing coverage: Obama picked brackets for the college playoffs! Obama's going on Leno! Obama ordered a hamburger!
But when they get exercised about the president of the United States throwing out the first pitch at the All-Star Game -- a tradition that dates to William Howard Taft in 1910 -- something has gone seriously awry."
