Wait...which is it?

As the article indicates (False headline not withstanding), there is no boycott. All U.S. are attending and participating. Only some federal government functionaries won't be getting a taxpayer-funded junket to Sochi. I bet they will go anyway under some other pretext. Spineless. Thus is the top Ukraine related story in the UK as well. Equally spineless.

That'll show 'em.

Worked for Jimmuh, why not then for F*ckrack?

I guess “All options are on the table”.

He hasn't played the "de-friending on Facebook" card yet.

Maybe Ted Turner will bring back the Goodwill Games ? /s

more and more and more like jimmah carter every day...

[tcrlaf]

I’m SURE we will now be subject to a barrage of 24/7 sob stories about how these poor disabled people are being harmed by Obama’s hateful Foreign polices.

OH WAIT....
That’s only when a Republican is in the White House, right?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

That’s priceless, gator. lol

[Jess Kitting]

Obama should go there himself. After the slur he made about our special Olympians, who can beat him at bowling.

[Iron Munro]

It just isn't a fair matchup.

They get Bluto and we get Gaybama Of Sunnybrook Farm.

[Will88]

Ridiculous and pathetic. The only people punished by this are scores of US athletes who’ve trained for years for a chance to participate in a paraolympics.

Just like Jimmah Carter and the American left in general: weak, hapless, childish, petulant, and 1,000% ineffective and irrelevant as a foreign policy maneuver.

He’d better be careful or they’ll have to revoke his Peace Prize.

All that will do is punish the paralympians from the U.S. that are planning to participate. I think this time the U.S., thanks to you-know-who and his weakening of the U.S., will end up allowing the Ukraine to be taken over. We are spread too thin already. We should just go and mind our manners.

Biden and Obamadumba should just shut up as they are embarrassments to U.S diplomacy.

[Scoutmaster]

Yes, a decision made in a phone call between Carter and his personal attorney, Charlie Kirbo of King & Spalding.

At least that's what Mr. Kirbo told me in his quiet, frequently pausing voice when I was a seedling lawyer.

Obama and Democrats Declare War On The Disabled !!!

First it was the Cancer Victims, Now it is the Paralympians.

Who will be the next victims of the democrats onslaught?

Take that you evil Russkis! You don’t mess with the Obamanator!

[DaveA37]

He is a real tough guy boycotting the Paralympics. And exactly who did he hurt by that “executive order”?
