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.
