The people who are barking the loudest about this are the ones who didn't utter a single word when GWB was in office. Clearly nothing more than the typical "I hate Obama" BS they they've been spewing because they have nothing of substance to fight with.

You can bet that if Obama hadn't gone...these same folk would be barking about why Obama doesn't support America enough to travel for the Olympic vote while other the other countries leaders did.

Nothing of substance to fight with.... are you making a joke here?

Was any other President critized for not going to bid for a US city in the Olympics? No? Then why would you suggest that this would be said of Obama? The only reason that it is being talked about now is because he did go. I doubt very seriously that it would have even been brought up otherwise.

In my mind Obama going was plain stupid. He has far more on his plate to be dealing with than a chance for some stupid games to come to the US. Like the economy, health care, job rates, illegal immigration, crime rates in the US, Afghanistan, Iraq, N. Korea, Israel, Iran, space program (IMO the space program is very important for the future of humans), education, and no doubt other things which just don't pop up in ones head like the above did with me.

Were all these things talked about in detail on that 20 hr flight or the hours spent at the meeting? If so fine, I won't begrudge him going. But I seriously doubt that all of them were...especially while sitting at a desk talking about why he thinks Chicago should be picked and listening to others voice why they want their city picked.

Every time a President goes to a meeting, the out come of that meeting has already been determined behind closed doors.... what Obama did was show how weak he is and how politically naive he is.

He punked himself.....

And the US.

Obama is constantly criticized by the wacko fringe for things that other Presidents haven't. What makes you think this would be any different?

Hell....don't you remember, they even criticized him for the beer that he chose.

These whiners will cry out of both sides of their mouth either way....its actually quite comical watching them. They are too predictable.

We learned it from the libs over the last 8 years.... how do you like it?

Since Obama went in support of Chicago as an Olympic city, the complaints have been coming fast and furious that Obama has improper priorities. The claim is that since Obama has not authorized more troops for Afghanistan as General McChrystal has requested, and has went to Copenhagen to support the Olympic bid, his priorities are misplaced. Is this a far argument?

In the context of what a troop in a foxhole might think:


"k... new prez who will concentrate on a-stan, says hold on"

"K.. here are some new jacks....."

"k... things aint working"


"hmmm... Ok sitting here, pez is on leno"


"hmmm... ok sitting here, prez is going to olympic committe"

"still have no mission"

"Prez says, he need a few more weeks"

"damn, is that. 7.62 flying by no worries, I can call in artillery, oh wait".....


"Still sitting here"




Redress, you were navy, I don't think you can fathom what indecisiveness does to moral, when you are taking fire.....

I think people can get too nitpicky. I don't think it's a huge deal that Obama went to advocate for an American city to get the Olympics. Sometimes people can get hypercritical.
 
I bet he got hooked into doing it by some lame Chicago politics thing. I would say blackmailed into it but then the loonies come out screaming the R word.
