Don't you just cringe though when your like minded compatriots come out with stuff like "your uberleftie idol, Obama returned with egg on his face and "Obama demeans the office of the presidency [with] his apology tours, groveling tours"? And stuff like "If he cannot convince a fawning uberleftist bunch like the Olympic commitee on the basis of his inflated self ...[text shortened]... g a failed Olympic bid to bash your president? Does partisan rancour stoop any lower?
It seems you think those of us who are laughing about this believe it's a big deal. It's not. It's just, as you point out, a non-partisan Olympics bid. Small potatoes in the grand scheme. I am neither gladdened nor saddened that the US didn't get the Olympics, though congratulations to Rio are in order.
But to those of us who sized Obama up early on as a naive leftist egomaniac, who brings nothing to the table except a teleprompter, a compelling personal story, and a soaring belief in the power of his own persona, this is just flat funny.
I mean, come on. He and Michelle fly off to Copenhagen, Oprah in tow, and deliver two narcissistic speeches to the IOC. Painting, with many references to their own personal histories, the grand picture of that bastion of culture and light,
Chicago. What a great personal triumph for the Obamas it will be at the end of Obama's 2nd term, when they return to join the global revelry they have personally wrought in their old home town.
Rejected. Boom. Out in the first round.
Hilarious.
It is completely expected, as time goes on and Obama continues failing to deliver on things of more importance, that the left will label his critics as unpatriotic and racist. That is, after all, the only defense they will have left. To many, it will never be Obama's fault that his empty suit and arrogance will fail to stop the Iranians getting the bomb, fix health care, solve our soaring debt problem and so on. Those failures won't be so funny, of course. But I have already accepted that I will be called an unpatriotic racist for continuing to believe what he will continue to prove. Unfortunately for all of us, he is naive fool who is too full of himself to realize he is a naive fool.
