about Obama at the ball game? White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel says BP CEO Tony Hayward has made another gaffe by going to a yacht race in England while oil continues to spew into the Gulf of Mexico, the Associated Press reports.

Obama Takes In a Ballgame
By SUSAN JO KELLER
“It’s not like I’m the president or anything.”
So said Stephen Strasburg, the Washington Nationals’ rookie pitching star, in an interview last August about the hype that accompanied his first appearance at workouts for the fall instructional league.
Now Strasburg is in the big leagues, and the hype machine is spinning faster than ever, as The Washington Post noted this morning in an article previewing Strasburg’s third career start tonight against the Chicago White Sox.
The 21-year-old pitcher may not want to be president — in any case, he is far too young to run for the job under the Constitution.
But the man who did want the job, Barack Obama, made a surprise trip to the stadium tonight to see what the fuss was all about. Or maybe he just wanted to see his beloved White Sox play again. (The president wore a Sox cap when he threw out the first pitch at the Nats’ home opener this season).
The game was sold out. But apparently there’s always room for a few more. The president’s party included his daughters, Sasha and Malia; his brother-in-law, Konrad Ng; David Axelrod, his senior adviser, and Eric Whitaker, a longtime friend from Chicago.
