“Nobody’s more offended than me by some of the anti-gay and -lesbian legislation that you’ve been seeing in Russia.”

Are we still supposed to pretend he's not homosexual?

Obama made a great statement....IMOW..."It would be very cool if some fags or lesbos won some medals."

Homos aren't outlawed in Russia. Soliciting children is. I wish we had the same.

Not sure what they’re saving the coming out party for. Maybe when he gets in more trouble. They’ve been setting it up for sometime with non-stop gaiety from all directions.

He doesn’t want to be compared to Jimmah who boycotted the Olympics in Russia in 1980.

Obumer has no qualm about Qatar hosting the football. I can´t recall Qatar having a gay pride.

He doesn't want a boycott because he is planning on using the Olympics as another taxpayer paid vacation.

I don't think that Obama knows the reasoning behind Russia's gay opposition. It’s all about keeping the population up. Homosexuals don't procreate.

Maybe avoiding a nuclear blowout from Michelle.

follow the money- that is obama’s guiding principle
do no harm to thy wealthy benefactors sponsors and boosters at the TV networks
his donors stand to lose money if the Olympics is boycotted

Because we’d be maybe one of three countries participating in the lamest, most pathetic boycott ever. It would make us even more of a global laughing stock, if that were possible.

Can you even imagine the optics this would have brought him and his party....lol.

Reagan boycotted the Russian Olympics because of communism and the dangerous possibility of our team being held as hostages behind the Iron Curtain because we had no way of protecting them once on Russian soil. For months we listened to all the disappointment of each athlete that had worked so hard for their one and only chance at gold only to have politics and a cold war destroy their chance.....

LOL....would have loved to hear all the nightly bitching about how homosexuality had ruined our athletes dreams and all they had worked so hard for.

The scare of war, communism and the real possibility that our athletes could be held hostage had the whole country understanding if not happy for the situation but boycotting these Olympics over a homosexual agenda that only a tiny minority agree with....priceless.
