"It is possible that the defeat of Chicago at the International Olympic Committee, a stunning, first-round defeat, will be good for the president over the long haul. His loyalties to his hometown are unquestioned, but the prospect of Olympic building scandals, of friends and fundraisers benefiting form the Olympic spending, and the virtually inevitable over-budget controversies would not have served Obama well. He has enough problems on his plate as it is."
Obama had General McChrystal fly to Copenhagen to discuss Afghanistan. Yes, McChrystal was in London, but Obama is treating the General and the war in Afghanistan as some kind of freaking afterthought as Obama is too busy trying to get politcal paybacks for his cronies in Chicago. Disgusting.”

LA Times Kool-Aid: Obama Outsmarts Critics of Copenhagen Trip by Meeting Gen. McChrystal There ...
“...As Air Force One held on the ground in Denmark, the two met for 25 minutes. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called it a one-on-one meeting in the plane's forward cabin...”
So nice to see 0 has his ‘priorities’ in order.
WHEW! Great news for Illinois taxpayers. Just heard Peter Ueberroth (organizer of the 1984 Summer Olympics) talk about the Rio decision on Fox News. He said that Obama would’ve been criticized if he had not gone to Copenhagen. LOL! By whom?! Sounds like yet another blind follower of the Obamassiah.
That ticks me off as well. I heard someone say on last nights news he better do this to save face. He did and the MSM are playing campaign fans for him in reporting it like that.
Also from that article ,”Obama lost on both counts, but neither defeat is likely to linger for long. At 4 p.m. he plans to give an address at the Rose Garden, just a couple hours after Air Force One is scheduled to land outside Washington. If Chicago had won, the president probably would have turned the address into a chance to celebrate his hometown and thank his advisers who helped make the victory possible.”
He had to be planning a victory,look at me i’m Obama moment. He has nothing positive to say about anything else.
I’d be suprised if he doesn’t find a reason to cancel expect he likes being on T.V. too much.
I am so so so sick of his TOTUS speeches. The one to the committee last night was sickening, me, me, me, me. He even trumped his own chicago committee and answered the theme question from Prince Albert. I think he believes Oprah and Farrakkhan when they tell him he is a god.
lol!!
LMAO!!!!!
Exactly. Don’t forget the taxpayers were paying for this oprah/obama lovefest in the end.Will Oprah flip the 100 million dollar bill they put into this and lost?
0bama has so many slush funds it is frightening. Hip hop Caucus, Apollo, SEIU, ACORN

“Obama Apologizes for Calling His Bad Bowling ‘Like the Special Olympics’”
http://abcnews.go.com/story?id=7129997#
“His controversial joke hadn’t even aired yet when President Obama got on the phone from Air Force One Thursday night to apologize for comparing his notoriously bad bowling skills to the Special Olympics.
The president’s late-night gaffe comes as he faces criticism over AIG.”He expressed his disappointment and he apologized, I think, in a way that was very moving,” Tim Shriver, the chairman of the Special Olympics board, told “Good Morning America” today.
“He expressed that he did not intend to humiliate this population, certainly didn’t want to embarrass or give anybody any more reason for pain or just suffering, I would say,” said Shriver, who received the call from Obama as the president was flying back to Washington.
“He was very sincere, expressed an interest and an openness in being more engaged in the movement, and said he was a fan of the movement and I think, importantly, he said he was ready to have some of our athletes over to the White House to bowl or play basketball or help him improve his score.”
Obama: ‘It’s Like the Special Olympics’
It began with the president joking about how bad a bowler he is.
Toward the end of his approximately 40-minute taping on the “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,..”
One of 0bama’s slush funds is hiring a new preacher (coordinator) to force 0bamaCare and have a prayer service to 0bama.

That AND Prince Albert a judge, asking about SHOOTING (later clarified to be the olympic sport but the room fell silent)really shames America that he is our TOTUS.
That is pure unadulterated spin...I mean..do they really think we’re that stupid?
I can’t believe they said this and not the norm that he lost the bid because of Bush or because the committee is rabid racists.
They are saving that for MSNBC/Maddow/Olbie/Matthews.
"Barack H., this is not the designer water I ordered!"
They hide nothing and deny all.
More than 140,000 listened to conference call with
