Regardless the myriad arguments of whether the POTUS himself should go to Copenhagen to pitch Chicago as the Olympic site for the 2016 games-
Regardless the timing of such a trip when the unemployment rate was being announced as being at a 26 year high of 9.8%-
Regardless the argument that Obama’s time would be better spent focusing on the health care question or the Iranian quandry or the Afghanistan quagmire or the Acorn quid pro quo-
What the F*** genius in our government had the brilliant idea to send Oprah Winfrey, the queen of the sit-on-your-ass crowd, to speak to the over-achievers of the I-O-freaking -C??? COME ON!!! Did no one have the foresight to see what a “dis” this would be? The IOC is made up of FORMER OLYMPIANS!! They stand for everything that the average Oprah watcher avidly avoids! Check ‘em out!

Okay, so I’m on the IOC. I hear that Obama is coming to make a pitch himself. That’s kinda cool but I’m a little leary as to why he thinks he needs to come himself. Maybe it’s that important- cool! Maybe he thinks I’ll be swayed by his star power- not so cool. I was a star myself at one time. But, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and hear him out. I hear he’s a really good speaker.
Then....Oprah is coming, too? The reality hits home what’s going on- I’m a “sit-on-my-ass do-nothing that’s easily swamped by stars” to these people! They have no respect for me! They think that I will be so dazzled by them that I’ll just hand them whatever they want. Like a Chicago Housing Project resident would!
F*** THAT!!! Chicago comes in last on my ballot. I don’t give a good freaking f*** what Obama says now. Or his wife. And F*** Oprah! Lemme vote!
Jesse Jackson was right, they did send the ‘A” team.
Or better yet, the “ASS” team.
Now Obama, you think you can do your job honor McChrystal’s request?
Indeed, follow Christ if anyone, not these bozos.
