Obama Blows the Olympics

Losing the Olympics to Rio de Janeiro just shows that Dick Cheney, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the Republicans have been right all along. Relying on reasoning, discussion and goodwill is just bullshit. What did the Obamas think the Olympic Committee was, the fucking United Nations General Assembly, or something? And what are we, some whiny little country like Brazil? Hell no! We're the Hegemon. Instead of sending Michelle and Barack to reason with those Socialist and Commie bastards on the Olympic Committee, we should have sent those 40,000 troops slated to go to Afghanistan to Copenhagen instead. You can bet that if the Olympic Committee members had needed to ask permission from our troops to get out of their hotel rooms or use the bathroom, they would have thought twice before rejecting Chicago as the 2016 Olympic site. And if our troops had just kicked down a few hotel room doors as examples of our nation's commitment to Olympic values, it would have been no contest.

If we had sent our troops to Copenhagen, they'd already be halfway to Afghanistan. A twofer.

Any country can be awarded the Olympics, but We Are the Hegemons. We don't need to rely on reason and goodwill, we could have taken the Olympics.

The United States had a great opportunity to demonstrate our Dominance to the world. The chronically weak Democrats blew it.

Dick Cheney in 2012. He'll take back the Olympics for all of us.

smart@ss. :~) First time here and reading the other posts made me realize there are others who believe him, like dreamsmasher. At least I had the sense to make my thoughts of doubt known. I do have problems separating fact from fiction anymore with the current political atmosphere. I will learn.

It amazes me to no end that Obama runs around the globe telling the world how bad of a country we are and how much we suck at global affairs, the world listens and sends the olympics to Rio and what happens here? The libs blame the Republicans for the failure!
What a bunch of idiots!
Had the olympics been awarded, the Democrats would be praising Obama for his triumph saying that Obama brought the olympics home. What a bunch of hypocrites!
When ever things go right they're there to accept responsibility but when things go wrong it's the Republicans fault more directly Bush's fault. Typical Democrats.
This is all on Obama, had he just stood on the sidelines and watched like every other President he would not be standing with egg on his face. Obama injected himself into this situation so it became his responsibility, had he stayed on the sidelines it would have just been a disappointing announcement.
Congratulations to Rio De Janeiro!

Everyone knows the Olympic committe is comprised of people like the judges on Dancing with the Stars. Rio was picked because it was time for South America to be represented. Period.

Nailed it.

What were the Obama's thinking?

If Obama wants advice on how to act presidential at an Olympic event he should call George W for lessons on how to smack volleyball players on the butt. Geez.
