WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama staged a homecoming-style Olympic rally at the White House Wednesday, saying the whole country is rooting for his hometown of Chicago in its efforts to host the 2016 Summer Games.

"I would make the case in Copenhagen personally," Obama said, noting he's busy seeking a health care overhaul. "But the good news is I'm sending a more compelling superstar to represent the city and country we love, and that is our first lady, Michelle Obama."
She didn't return the kudos, describing the president's dabbling in some of the Olympic sports before the event.
"You should have seen the president in there fencing," she said to laughter, as Obama stuck out his arm in a mock fencing move. "It was pathetic. But he passed the baton really well."

I hope the folks in Chicago really want it because it is going to cost them out-of-the-pocket in the end.
Weak with the force young Racehustler is.
Corrupt Olympic Commission, corrupt Chicago; really, what could possibly go wrong?
So that’s what he does all day?
FReepmail GOP_Lady if you want on or off this ping list.
Whats she gonna do, dazzle them with her dress sense that has all the look of a bomb thats gone off in a walmart furniture section.
Maybe they can add the 100-meter Bagman Dash or Ballot Box Stuffing as new events to honor the city of Chicago.
I was starting to get worried.
Is that a new boob belt, or a recycled one?
That guy, third from left, looks like Looter Man from New Orleans.
How about the “Concrete Shoes Swim” across Lake Michigan?
She’s wearing that belt AGAIN??
That last shot should be Obama sticking it to Daley. Unless there is one major league Chicago style fix in, sending the bride to do the husband’s work is not going to go over well in Europe.
Why would anyone want to go to one of the most corrupt cities in the country to hold international sports events?
So are the ugly inauguration shoes that really don't go with anything!
I believe they are going to give it to S.America, thats one great big gap in the olympic map.
I think it’s new. LOL
Yeah, whats up with the placement of that belt? She has it hiked up to her breastbone! I guess that because she goes from @$$ to chest. What a WASTE!
A blind woman could dress herself better.
I mean seriously, her clothes need to come with a health warning or at least a brightness colour and fashion rating...1 being bearable, 10 being a great big what the f..k is it.
