"WASHINGTON — Less than two weeks ago, President Obama lamented that he was too busy to go to Denmark to lobby for Chicago’s bid to host the Olympics. “I would make the case in Copenhagen personally,” he said, “if I weren’t so firmly committed to making real the promise of quality, affordable health care for every American.” Evidently, his commitment to health care is no longer quite so time consuming. Mr. Obama announced Monday that he would fly to Copenhagen this week after all to lobby the International Olympic Committee for the 2016 Summer Games."

I HAS A SOAP BOX

9/29/2009 10:27:56 AM

me thinks he changed his mind
probably on the heals of his advisors
me thinks this isn't a display of incompetency
as if we do win the bid, it would create jobs to build the facilities to prepare for the olympics

jobs are good dontchakno


though, it will be pretty embarrassing if chicago doesn't get selected...D'OH!

Move to Soap Box?

9/29/2009 10:28:23 AM

Rio is gonna win anyway, so its really inconsequential that he goes over there

9/29/2009 10:30:02 AM

It's not a soap box thread, it's a troll thread

9/29/2009 10:30:05 AM

OMG FLIP FLOPPER


so what?

9/29/2009 10:30:41 AM

Can someone point out the incompetence to me? I looked, but I could only find it with the thread creator, not the content.

9/29/2009 10:30:58 AM

He stated the reason he wasn't going over there in the first place as "if I weren’t so firmly committed to making real the promise of quality, affordable health care for every American."

So he's apparently he isn't that committed. It just makes him look stupid.

This thread was made because I know probably 80% of you chuckle heads voted for this guy without knowing shit about what you were getting. He's fucked up three times as hard as GW has in his first year, and now I'm letting you know about it.

9/29/2009 10:43:01 AM

9/29/2009 10:44:05 AM

the bolding and the quoting and the linking makes my head hurt like hooksaw's posts do

9/29/2009 10:44:50 AM

do you feel better now that you've gotten all that out?

9/29/2009 10:49:00 AM

hosting the Olympics on American soil is ALWAYS a major economic boost, at least regionally, and temporarily.

and, oh no, the New York Times has once again panned against Obama! Liberal Propaganda zomg!
