Joe West is a Major League Baseball umpire who has demonstrated repeatedly an inability to properly call balls and strikes. While unfortunate, that alone would not be grounds for dismissal, as umpires are often prone to miss calls. His ego threatens the integrity of the game. As head of the umpires union he is in a position to act in a manner unbecoming a professional without fear of reprisal, and so it is for this reason that we are calling upon the White House to take a stand against this kind of tyranny. President Obama, we ask you to join with us against West's ineptitude and his over-sized, and totally unjustified, inflated self importance. We are patient and understand other, possibly more pressing issues, need consideration. We are patient, but justice delayed is justice denied.
