After flying through the night for seven hours aboard Air Force One, nobody would blame President Obama for being at least slightly groggy when he arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark, for a quick four hours to make the final pitch for Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics.
Maybe that explains why the president seemed to snag the silver medal while first lady Michelle Obama, who's been in Copenhagen a couple of days, clearly took the gold with an emotional speech focused on her family's roots in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and her late father's battle with multiple sclerosis.

HA HA HA............We did not even get the BRONZE...Chicago was dumped before TOKYO< MADRID< or RIO.
The MSM is so in the tank for the Obama's they are completely tone deaf to the rest of the world already having lost interest in the Messiah and his wife. Sarkozy is openly mocking the POTUS about 'living in a real world, not a virtual one' and the British media is having a field day with our naive POTUS. CNN dutifully carries the water for ol Barry, bowing at his feet while the world laughs at us for electing such an ego driven moron.

And the reason Chicago never had a chance? Fox News, of course.
Look for ratcheting up of the 'Fairness Doctrine' revival. The DC branch of the Chicago Mob does not take defeat gracefully. And they must have their scapegoat.

Michelle's pitiful me me me speech was ridiculous and finally the truth of who they are can't be hidden anymore.

Actually, they made a mistake sending Barry and Michelle to Copenhagen to lobby for the prize. They should have sent Big Bird, if they wanted to make a favorable impression.

No worries, Obama can set up a Special Olympics for all his Tzars and boot licks in the media. i can see it now;
CNN team wins the 200 yard ass-kiss medley.
Katie Couric sets head up the butt world record.
Little Georgie Stephanopolous runs under the hurdles and wins gold!
Michelle wins discus, shot put, and Greco-Roman wrestling!

To: milwguy
I’m sure the spin will be:
‘This just proves how much the U.S. has lost credibility in the world due to Bush policies and how much work we (Obama) have to do to regain U.S. credibility. The U.S. never really had a shot at the games because of the Bush policies, but we hoped the world would have recognized the hard work by Obama to change the U.S. for the better. To even be on the short list of cities proves that Obama is making progress, but he still has much to do to completely root out the Bush policies and racism in America’...future quote by obama administration \ sarc (kind of)

I completely agree. Michelle Maulken stated that it is payback time to those who, from Chi-town, funded Zero’s campaign ... looking for some fall-out.

I could see that being the spin....I guess that Obama apology tour didn’t sway too many minds worldwide. We should all hold hands and chant “We’re number two” and maybe the rest of the world will like us....

This is actually extremely good for southeast Wisconsin. If Chicago would have won, the stupid rail train they want to build would have had a huge (false) reason for them to spend hundreds of millions on a train less than 1% of people would potentially be able to take for work.
