Republican Mitt Romney on Monday praised President Obama's decision to travel to Copenhagen this week to make the case that Chicago should host the 2016 Summer Olympics, saying the president's personal appeal is likely to ensure the city lands the games.

Until this week, Mr. Obama had indicated he would not be able to make the trip because he was tied down in negotiations over his health care proposal.

"I think his presence makes it almost certain that Chicago will win the bid," said Mr. Romney, who oversaw the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002. "I think we could have easily lost the bid" had the president not gone to make the case for Chicago in person.

Further proof, IMO, that Romney, like the rest of the D.C. establishment, is TONE DEAF as to what the people feel and want.

Put a sock in it Romney

Either McCain or Romney always come to the rescue of the democrats when the GOP scores a hit. They are both too dumb to understand what they are doing.

How much of a bribe will sometimes White House resident
(B.?) Hussein (Obama?Soetoro?Dunham?)give to the IOC?

Willard the rat knows a lot about bribing the IOC.

Yeah lets see more video of that gangland beating of that poor honor student, lets replay the mob scenes of military dressed security hauling away protestors at the G20. Lets get the Chicago corruption scandals front page news around the world.

Olympics anywhere but CHICAGO Please.

Hey Mitty.....the FIX is IN...Chicago has it...sadly.

[toddausauras]

Go away Mr. Romney. It is almost certain that the Chariman wouldn't be going anywhere unless the fix was in.

What is wrong with him?

If he thinks this is such a peachy idea, romney should pick up the tab for bambi's trip.

[TheShaz]

Romney is off my list. I still think he might be an asset as a cabinet member on a GOP White House. But not in charge with it.

And Mitt! You keep this up and you will be OFF my rolodex permanently!

This seems to be his main claim to fame. How many times have we heard about it from the junk media?

[vortigern]

Romney = Loser

[cranked]

Romney is a joke....

[freedomfiter2]

If Chicago wins, they won’t host the Olympics.

[WOSG]

I think Romney is just saying stuff so it becomes impossible for him to win the GOP nomination in 2012.

I think Obama’s priorities are ALL WRONG going to Copenhagen. We need to focus on bigger and more important stuff than that.

I appreciate his willingness to help out Sarah Palin. LOL.

[Breto]

You know I am sick to death of this guy. Hey Mitt Go home and enjoy the socialist state run medical system you created and leave us the heck alone.

You aint gonna get the nomination so look for a job on “O”s cabinet maybe you could be a czar or something useless.

WE DONT WANT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Romney is an excellent example of how the northeastern elites are totally out of touch with conservatives.

They used to be called "Rockefeller Republicans".

They love being in power no matter what they have to do to get there.

[newfreep]

mccain/romney or romney/mccain - still the same old RINO speak.

I'm eager to read Sarah's book and hope she "shoots some RINO".

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Romney is an idiot! Further proof that he is completely out of touch with mainstream America and is just another puppet for the globalists. The Olympics will benefit the elites in Chicago and will be paid for by the taxpayers.
