First lady Michelle Obama will lead the official American delegation to the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, the White House announced on Friday. The group includes women's soccer Olympic great Brandi Chastain and basketball star Grant Hill, a member of the 1996 Olympics squad
"This summer I'll be cheering on Team U.S.A. at the Olympic Games in London with this distinguished group of champions who truly represent the best of our country," the first lady said in a statement released by the White House.
"Olympians and Paralympians are true American heroes and role models for all of us, especially our young people. And I know that this delegation will help inspire a generation of young people to get into the Olympic spirit by getting active and healthy so they can reach their fullest potential and reach their dreams."
The delegation also includes Gabriel Diaz de Leon, a Paralympic Games javelin gold medalist and discus silver medalist; Summer Sanders, who swam to gold, silver and bronze medals in the 1992 games; gymnastics gold medalist Dominique Dawes; and the American ambassador to the U.K., Louis Susman.

Politics and partisanship aside, I cannot imagine anyone else more unsuited for this job (unless it was nobama himself).
Shelf ass puke
She was until her genealogist discovered there was a white slave owner in the wood pile.
I remember previous presidents going to the Olympics during their terms. In 2008, President Bush not only went to the Opening Ceremonies in Beijing, but he attended the US men’s basketball team’s first game, among other events.
I think it’s more of an issue that President Obama isn’t going to support his country’s athletes. He sent Biden to Vancouver in 2010 instead of going himself. I guess he’s just not proud enough of his country to override his hatred of the British.

Are you a troll?
No but you are new and have never posted before so go away. Nobody wants your crap. Every word I said I stand by....I don’t give a damn what you think....Now never post to me again.
Well for sure everyone will know when the US team walks in. I think it’s law being over two tons she wears the WIDE LOAD yellow warning banner.
She’ll be inhaling lobster tails and guzzling butter while wearing a sign saying “You all eat your veggies.”
Liberal fascists such as the Obamas leave no stone unturned in thier quest for legitimacy.
They have none.

Michelle Obama to lead U.S. delegation to Olympic Games opening ceremonyOh, great. Hope she doesn't forget her $2.00 flip-flops. /s
I was asking the other poster because he/she seems to know the answer, I’m still waiting for the response........
I keep hearing Mochelle being called “beautiful”.
She is not. Neither outside nor inside.
I only see “ugh”.
Beautiful only if you think pit bulls are beautiful.
That is but a small part of reason Americans find her disgusting. Aside from looking like a cow she is an anti American leftist...
DING. DING. DING. DING.
WE HAVE A WINNAH!!
P.S. The first most boring part?? Closing ceremonies, silly you.
