(Yahoo! News) -- First Lady Michelle Obama will lead the official American delegation to the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, the White House announced on Friday.
The group includes women's soccer Olympic great Brandi Chastain and basketball star Grant Hill, a member of the 1992 "Dream Team."

Which is probably why they're now doing this.
Remember, Romney actually DID something successful with the Olympics. He was a chairman and made it happen after 9/11.
Obama is probably afraid Romney will use the Olympics in some kind of "Romney succeeded, Obama failed" campaign ad.
The WH is going to show the Obamas championing the Olypics to try to zero that out.
If either one of their faces is on my screen, I will fix it so I don’t see it or close the site immediately. That’s how sick they make me.
Michelle in desperation mode seeing that her endless vacation is soon to end. This will be an Obummer Summer for the Obamas.
That arrogant elitist will be stealing the spotlight from the talented Americans athletes and their coaches representing the US in the Olympics? That is disgusting.
Maybe they meant the “Special” Olympics?
This will go over about as well as if she were seen stomping on puppies on world-wide television.
I am sure she would like to be on one of her famous vacations rather than having anything to do with celebrating America.
I have a mental picture of her cavorting on the field in a red, white and blue spanx jumpsuit, carrying the flag neither of them respect.
Interesting that she picked a black school for a FREE total renovation of the building with a brand new kitchen - new computers, responsiblity for making & planting a garden, planning a healthy menu, loading up food in the pantry, cooking for the kids & she showed up to eat!!
She & her useless husband are millionaires & they are fine with others carrying out her wishes & commands with a simple phone call. They are living the life of royal dictators & they need to be banished from our White House!!
I don’t think this is as bad as it sounds.
Other sources indicate Moosehell is leading “the Presidential Delegation,” which is more ceremonial and separate from the athletes.
It appears that President Bush and the First Lady (and even one of the Koch family—three cheers for W!) led the delegation in 2008:

This is satire, right? Bertha Bigbutt leading the Olympians?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (breath) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Whoooppeeee ! Another Vaca ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Grant Hill was not part of the 1992 Dream Team.
The NBA is essentially dead to me, and if the other posts about them wanting a separate paying tournament are true, it is just a fresh dropping over the grave of the long ago buried game.

ROFL
Another large waste of money, on security and travel. Obama’s won’t give us a break, from daily media appearances.
Guess I have to skip opening ceremonies this Olympiad.
