ABC's Steven Portnoy reports:
Rush Limbaugh acknowledged his glee in telling his talk radio audience Friday that the International Olympic Committee's rejection of Chicago's bid for the 2016 games is a metaphor for President Obama's weakness and an illustration of his "Mars-sized ego."
"Who knew the Olympic Committee was a bunch of racists?" Limbaugh joked at the start of his program, saying he was waiting on official confirmation from former president Jimmy Carter, before turning to the gravity of the nation's embarrassment.
"When you stop to think about it, folks, doesn't it make sense?" Limbaugh asked. "Our president, Barack Hussein Obama, has been running around the world for nine months telling everybody how much our country sucks.... Why would anybody award the Olympics to such a crappy place?"

Rush was hillarious.
Rush sliced and diced “The One.” Mmm, mmm, mmm!
Has the chosen one or one of his surrogates called the IOC a racist right wing terrorist hate group yet? If they haven’t yet I’ll bet they will before Monday.
Axelrod said they based their decision on “politics.”
I love it when liberal pots call the kettles black.
How about this one for libs:
RONALD WILSON REAGAN MMM MMMM MMM!!!!
I could not stop laughing. Rush, you were stupendous! MMMM MMMM MMMMMM!
How dare you tie that abominable "diddy" to Ronald Reagan's name.
Rush had his A game yesterday.
I laughed for 10 minutes when he said Oprah was so distraught that she was eating Norway.
Beneath it all Rush makes one very serious point. Obama’s failure at the IOC does make him look weaker and that is something our enemies pay attention to. You have to ask yourself, Is there anybody in the White House giving him intelligent advice? Was there not someone on his staff that did not see the peril of an IOC rejection and tell him not to go? I don’t think so and that is a very scary notion. Either that, or he is getting advice but not listening.
I think his ego is such that, due to his improbable meteoric rise to power, he feels anything he pursues shall be obtained.
The IOC's rejection of Chicago's bid was a "bitch-slap," Limbaugh said. "Upside the head."
"This is a moment of weakness, and weakness invites trouble. You think I'm laughing? What do you think's happening in Tehran?"
Ouch! Tell it el Rushbo!
“Either that, or he is getting advice but not listening...”
I think B.O. is B.O.’s number one political adviser. I don’t know whether it was during the POTUS campaign or before that, but, at some point Hussein began to believe in his own image being his ticket more than seasoned political advice from others. He bought into his own sham which, as any good drug dealer will tell you, is the first in a string of bad business decisions leading to trouble.
He is convinced that the solution to any problem is for him to show up and speak real pretty and all is solved. Afterall, that worked so well in the campaign to get him elected, why wouldn’t it work with the IOC.........or Iran........or the NorKs..........or the Russkies.
I’m not sure he’ll be disabused of this notion by the time his first (and last) term is over but it will hit hard one day and it will not be a pretty sight.
Good post. I think barack’s advisors advise him in the context of how it can further leftist goals, but being the narcissist he is, he can only put things in the context of how it can further HIM. In the end, it’ll be his undoing.
