President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I attended a Series game in 2010 with Dubya in the house and noticed nothing out of the ordinary. He wasn't Prez then, of course, but that wasn't their first rodeo with him, either.

 

Jimmy Carter attended many a Braves game without security turning into a goat screw. Of course a lot fewer folks looking for trouble with him.

 

I cannot imagine the mess that must have been the Charlotte Coliseum at the 1994 Final Four when Clinton showed up.

 

My cousin’s graduation at Ohio State featured Dubya as the speaker. We had to be at Ohio Stadium at 6 a.m. for a 9:30 a.m. graduation ceremony.

 

He'll be at Army-Navy and try to upstage Biden.

 

I think I've told this, so the short version:
1979 - Plains, Ga., Sunday morning. President Carter is in his home town to go to church.
An 8-year-old me is far more intrigued by the Secret Service snipers in the windows nearby than I am some geezer getting out of a limo.
Remember, we are a decade and a half from Kennedy and only a few years from the attempts on Ford's life.
A woman bolts under the keep back tape and rushes Carter, and the SS bulldogs her ass to the pavement.
It may still be the greatest moment of my life.

 

The closest I've ever come to being in the in-the-flesh presence of an actual U.S. President is in front of the animatronic version of LBJ at the LBJ library in Austin.

 

4th-grade me was playing kickball during recess at the Hebrew Academy Lubavitch when teachers came out and halted all frolicking to announce that Reagan was shot.

And I was getting stoned to the gills off sticky Pismo Beach weed while watching Bubba blow his horn on Arsenio.

Like many in the moment, I said this guy is gonna be the president.

 

Saw Obama give a Labor Day speech in Detroit in 2011

 

Chip Caray: Welcome back, Braves fans to Bally Sport South’s continuing coverage of the World Series. And we have a real treat for Braves fans, and for real patriotic Americans, joining us in the booth is the 45th and hopefully 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
Trump: Yeah, thanks Skip. You know, I used to own the Bally’s hotel in Atlantic City.
Caray: What do you think of the Braves chances, Mr. President?
Trump: Well it is very important to me to be brave. Like my people on January 6th. So brave. So strong.
Caray: We were just talking about how we wished Hank Aaron would have lived to see the Braves in the Series again. Number 44.
Trump: Oh, that was his number? Ooh, that’s a bad number. 44, bad, bad. Terrible.
