Little known fact. Dub and Obama were on same little league team. Story goes that both played center field. Dub was the better hitter but Obama was the better fielder.
Their team was pretty good. So good in fact they reached all the way to the Little League World series. One game away from the championship. The team they had to play was a power laden team with a penchant for scoring runs by the bucketful.
Mindful of this their manager decided to go with Dub in centerfield reasoning he could use the better bat. The strategy worked for six innings Dub and Obamas team was winning 6-4. The opposition took advantage of an error by Dub in the 4th inning to score 3 of its four runs.
It all came down to the bottom of the 7th. The first batter lined a deep shot to center that Dub got a glove on but dropped the ball. Pitcher shakes it off and strikes out next batter. 3rd batter pops a texas leaguer to center Bush allows the ball to drop in front of him. Now men are on 1st and 3rd and only one out.
Manager looks down bench at Obama and starts thinking he could save the game with his better fielding. Next batter digs in and pitcher battles but gives a up a walk. The bases are now loaded
Manager see opposing teams best power hitter stepping up to plate. Calls time and talks to pitcher. Tells him try to strike this guy out but try to stay in spot that he will have to hit it to center, cause I'm putting Obama in CF.
Manager gets back to dugout and out goes the future president of the United States to save his team from defeat. Pitcher and batter engage in classic cat and mouse game and it developes into a 3-2 count.
Remembering what the manager has told him, pitcher gets the batter to loft it into center field. Obama is off at the crack of the bat and swiftly closes in on his prey. He nonchalantly sticks his gloved hand out to snare the ball. To his horror the ball hits his wrist and not the glove. It bounces away from him and the trailing right fielder.
The three winning runs score and the other team goes wild with jubilation. Obama stays out in center field the other members of his team are consoling one another. The manager is so stunned that he just stares at Obama.
Finally after about 15 minutes Obama plods into his dugout. He notices the manager staring at him and figures he wants an explanation.
Obama then tells his coach " Hey I'm awful sorry but Bush had centerfield so messed up nobody could play it right. ":D

it's just a joke. And, although this one is at the expense of Obama ... it's no better/worse than the ones aimed at previous presidents.
