President Barack Obama said at town hall meeting at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru in Lima, Peru, on Sunday that one of the reasons the United States has an advantage over China in the Olympics is because the U.S. has a bigger genetic pool than anybody.
You notice that the United States did really well in the Olympics, Obama said, according to the transcript of the town hall posted by the White House. [ ]
(Y)ou look at a U.S. Olympic team and there are all kinds of different sorts of people of all different shapes and sizes, Obama said. And part of it is because we draw from a bigger genetic pool than anybodyright? We have people whothese little gymnasts, theyre like this big. Simone Biles came by the White House. Shes a tiny little thing. Amazing athlete. Then we have Michael Phelps, hes 68 and his shoulders are this big. And thats good for swimming. He couldnt do gymnastics, but hes a really good swimmer.

I don't think Jimmy ever got his job back either, did he?
If our bigger”genetic pool” allows us to dominate the Olympics, why didn’t it help us in 1936 (the Germans dominated everyone decisively)? Just more bilge from our affirmative action president.
Way to go insulting an entire nation you twit...
At slam at Chinese because they made him use the cargo door a few months back. Perhaps?
Chinese are actually pretty racist in my experience.
Obama is petty too.
But, not tigers.
No tigers in Kenyaaaaaaaaaaaa.
(Forget Norway)
In case anyone hasn’t noticed, Obama makes stuff up all the time on topics he knows nothing about, strictly to suit his political talking points.
This pathetic jackass known as the feckless fool on the hill is one stupid poltroon.
Norway? Get out!
That’s about as racist as it gets, right there.
That’s why Norway dominates in cross country skiing
He has a point there. More beautiful Chinese women need to bear children of healthy Irish males.
How fitting he was at the Pontifical whatever as he pontificated out his a-hole.
Let's see: China has 1.3 Billion people and we have 330 Million. Someone should explain to this simpleton that we may have a more diverse genetic pool, but China has a much, much bigger one.
Obama is right here. A more diverse gene pool is more advantageous from an evolutionary adaptability perspective—ironic since Hitler’s main complaint against the US was that we are a “mongrel” population.
Actualy he’s not far from correct. If only he’d recognize the enormiy of that point. It also means no one else has to deal with the “diversity” we do and thus have no right to lecture about “fairness”.
The main reason the US has the advantage is using all these different types for their different strengths. Not so much mixtures.
That viewpoint nullifies hard work and dedication.
Obama is never rightremember that.
He’s very far from correct. Never mind going against the “1% inspiration/99% perspiration” principle.
Bigger, but not at all diverse. Thus, does not really offer any advantage.
Only if we do not count his genes.
All three of them.
