In 2002, Romney saved the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
A couple of years ago, Obama went to Copenhagen to try to persuade the Olympic Committee to allow Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics. Almost immediately after listening to Obama, Chicago was the first of the four candidate cities to be eliminated, having almost no support.
If you have seen the stupid--really stupid--approach Obama used--I have seen the telecast--you would understand why. The man has no finesse; he allows his ethnic bias to shine through so strongly, he insults those whom he would persuade--that is when those he would persuade are not dependent upon the U.S. mass media for their information.
The man is pure oaf in dealing with others--pure oaf--when he is not being explained by people like Chris Matthews, having bizarre experiences.
