Hmmmm...I wonder what the “events” for that one are like? Barry would probably be thrilled, so to speak.

Expressing congratulations to Rio would have helped repair the damage a bit.

He even took that tool Gibbs with him? How insecure is Obama, anyway?

Robert Gibbs said Obama "feels obviously proud of his wife for the presentation that she made."

For which she was given a special little award that said "Participant".

I found a small toy/hobby shop that is off shot to the left of your photo one day when I was wondering around Copenhagen. They openly sold suppressors too!

“someone else’s fault, probably Bush or Palin.”

The IOC members were all so busy trying to get a pre-release copy of Palin’s book that they didn’t have time to listen to the Zero’s.

“What exactly did he “put on the line” in order to go beg for the Olympics to be hosted in Chicago?”

Picture this:

CHICAGO THUGS: Look man, we got you into the white house so now it’s payback time. You bring home the Olympics or yous is toast. You got that?
OBAMA: Yeah. I got it.

Wish I was a fly on the wall.

He’s probably throwing stuff around and blubbering like a little spoiled brat.

“Disappointed?” With all that graft down the drain! Suicidal is more like it. And Valerie might even be forced to spend a few bucks on her slum properties, now that she won’t be able to sell them for an obscene profit to the Olympic organizers in Chicago. And consider poor Shortshanks and his stable of thug cronies. Nope. There is no joy in Mudville. Mighty Hussein has struck out.
