In 2008, voters in the Iowa Caucus -- famous for their quirky picks -- gave a little-known Democrat named Barack Obama his first victory, propelling him toward the White House.
Now, First Lady Michelle Obama is in Copenhagen, stumping for Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. And last night, at a pep-rally dinner for 300 supporters of Chicago's bid, she likened the race in Denmark to that contest way back when in Iowa.
"As my husband would say, we are fired up and ready to go in here," she said, echoing the slogan that generated so much excitement on the campaign trail last year. Comparing the contest in Denmark to the one in Iowa, the first lady added, Nobody makes the decision until theyre sitting there. So the next few days really provide us with a real opportunity to hold some hands, to have some conversations, to share our visions.

We’re so blessed to have her in the WH.
Except that it’s in Europe, and everyone speaks Danish. And it will be difficult if not impossible to play the race card.
Oh so they will fly in Chicago ACORN thugs to beeat up Hillary supporters like in Iowa?
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, Michelle for your “sacrifice”!
You’re the best!
BS. I bet the decision has already been made. If not, it would be great if the Games go to Madrid.
Sorry DogFace, there is no ACORN or Prostitute Media in Copenhagen to steal the Olympic Games.
Indeed.
Meanwhile, we have soldiers under fire.
I wonder how they restrain themselves from laughing in her face.
Those two just love to campaign, don’t they?
Not much for governing, but they’re real pros at the campaigning stuff.


mmm ... mmm ... mmmm
Yes... Yes... Yes.....
And her hubby is just a short 24 hrs from joining her in Copenhagen....
Hold some hands or break some arms?
Is she talking about all those white racists from Iowa that voted for her husband?
What does a city/Nation gain by holding the Olympics?
Lots of trash and lots of debt..
Just what we need more of in Chicago.
Our Governments really are comprised of MORONS....
I think what she is somewhat mysteriously hinting at is that, just as they bought & stole the Iowa Caucus, they have already bought and stolen the Olympic Committee’s decision. I would speculate that she probably flew over there with a bagful of Chicago mob cash in her diplomatic pouch, to payoff the committee.
This decision is in the bag, or they wouldn’t both be over there, risking their reps on a possible defeat.
to have some conversations, to share our visions
Which vision is that? The one where you were never proud of America UNTILyour husband was elected or the one where you see America turned into a European Lite hell hole by your husband?
Strongarming crackers is the same world over.

Just make a dress out of couch fabric, save some of the foam for padding the back and you have your Halloween costume...
I am so excited that I can barely hold it.
And Zero will be there for a full four or five hours.
The whole bribe expedition will take perhaps as many as three planes or more:

So she dragged he fat little communist pal Val with her.
The Iowa caucuses were where the Obama supporters first really fly -- they screamed at people, they bullied people, they called people racist. They won Iowa through really ugly strong-arm tactics.
I don't think that will fly so well in Europe.
Are they fired up enough to go against the will of the American people? They don’t want the Olympics in this country at this time.
That is the concern. Always in campaign mode to get more. Can we begin to manage what we have to make it better.
Yeah, they’re both very nice places despite the lack of “diversity”—how can that be?????????????????
What a conundrum....
I’m sure these “brainiacs” believe they speak “Copenhagenian”...
Well, yeah, but they're greedy, grasping, EVIL morons! Normal morons are pretty harmless, and sometimes endearing!
Even if they do win to have the Olympics in Chicago, who will be able to afford to go? Not me!
Of course! I’m sure Obongo was lost without Val but it gave he and Reggie some quality time alone. WIthout Val, Rahm and David, there would be no presidency. They would be lost.
If the Olympic Committee doesn’t take great offense to Mrs. Obama’s calling this a cheap political stunt, then they have no self-respect. RIO 2016!
Well, BHO thinks Austrians speak Austrian.
It’s pathetic.
I cannot imagine O being dumb enough to go through this without certain knowledge that Chicago was the pick.
I also cannot imagine that this foreknowledge can be kept a secret.
Yes it is a political campaign and winning would mean millions of taxpayer dollars going into the hands of Chicago union bosses, the Mayor Daley machine and to assorted Obama cronies. While it would have been OK for Michelle to go to Copenhagen on her own dime, it is galling that the US taxpayers had to pay for both her and her entourage as well as Barry all for the potential benefit of corrupt Illinois officials.
It's A Real Sacrifice For Me, But It's For The Children!
