I don’t see why you can’t be proud of Americans who worked their entire lives for this and still be disappointed in the government.
Those Americans out lying to the world about global warming?
I find it easy to hope they get beaten, humiliated and lose every opportunity the Olympics may have offered.
Those that didn’t sigh up to lie about it? I hope they win.
I’ll tell you why. The more that government gets more heavily invested in my personal decisions and detracts from my individual liberty, as the current is heading, the more I need to know about whether a person has furthered those means before I can root for them. If Obama was a world class athlete, and qualified for the olympic team, i dont care if he represented my country. I wouldnt root for him. I wouldnt root against him - I’d merely be disinterested. And thank you for your reply.
