Diminished American Prestige at Sochi has Far Too Much of the Failed Obama Era in It for Me...

While that hockey win over the Russians might have given us a nice morale lift the numbers don't lie- the Americans have unfortunately slipped to 7th place in overall medals at the 2014 Winter Games, this after a record-breaking dominance at Vancouver last go-round. We're all but mathematically eliminated from any kind of top finish already.

You knew we were in trouble from the minute they rolled-out those collegiate-grunge opening ceremony outfits that Ralph Lauren came up with... and what's up with Pee Wee Herman in the announcers' booth?

This Olympics so far has far too much of the dreadful Obama era to it for me... weirdos, mediocrity, lowered expectations, gay activists, surly Russian contempt, and a collapse of US prestige on the world stage. 

Surely the Obama Administration didn't exert any pressure on the US Olympic team/TV networks to look, sound, and act in a way that glorifies their agenda or anything (only about as much as Hitler did in '38)... but like Churchill said, "However beautiful the strategy, one should at least occasionally look at the results!"

We can do better than this- just like a lot of things in this country nowadays...

I would like to know why that russian shootout goal that WENT IN, was done over. All they said was olympic rule. Never explained it.

Can NOT tolerate nbc.

The bright past is that Obama has been banned for life from Russian for promoting pedophilia and child pornography, and so we didn’t have to look at him in the stands eating popcorn.

You got it and they looked brillent last night, a preview of them winning the gold today.

Good news, we will have a big wave midterm election coming in November, and American springtime rally in mid-May.

I agree. Putin is a thug, but his support of the revival of the Russian Orthodox Church is good thing.

That’s kind of sad really, at least Putin gets the idea of routing for your own team. I personally enjoyed routing for my home team, I felt it was the thing to do. But the Olympics aren’t over until the fat lady sings, as you said.

[Reaganite Republican]

That is definetly part of it
