You know how we have these sayings like “meet his Waterloo” “jump the shark” “got thrown under the bus”.
We got a new one this week. For epic failure, you can say “he went to Copenhagen”
The Skoal Brother goes to Copenhagen...
I like it.
Love it! Is that like providing "Roman Polanski" exemptions to illegal aliens bacause they have been here so long that the liberals don't think it's a crime anymore?
Obama went to Copenhagen
But lost the bid after all his beggin,
mmm...mmm...mmmm...
Barack Hussein Obama
The only reason Obama went to Copenhagen is because the Daley machine forced him to. Chicago had invested $50 million in preparing this bid. They had a lot riding on this gambit.
I for one thought that there was no way that Chicago would get the bid, which would have made it the third time in 32 years that the Summer Olympics would be held in the US. And maybe most Americans don’t understand how loved Brazilians are in the sports world, mainly due to their enthusiastic and warm fans who support Brazilian football, the most respected and successful in the world’s most popular sport. Pele was worth ten Obamas when it comes to convincing the IOC to vote for Rio. And the fact that South America has never hosted the Olympics really made it no contest.
Chicago received 18 votes out of 94. I just don’t believe that the Chicago team did not know generally how the vote totals stood. Obama was the Hail Mary pass. It didn’t work. Obama was the tool of the Chicago political machine and he went on this suicide mission to placate them even if it meant humiliating himself and the office of the President. That is the scary part to me. Who else has leverage over this guy?
