Chicago loses Olympic bid: The One’s mystique is fading quickly
I agreed with the assessment of many political commentators that Obama was only going to Copenhagen to argue for the Olympics taking place in Chicago because he had already secured them, and this was just a part of the deal. We were totally wrong. The Obamas and Chicago were served a crap sandwich this morning when Chicago was eliminated in the first round of voting for hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics.

The One wouldn’t dare risk his political capital on a completely needless humiliation. You’re a bigger sucker than I thought, champ.
I am just amazed. Barack Obama is many things, but I didn’t think he would be dumb enough to put himself in a situation like this. Evidently, he is so full of himself, so convinced of his “gift” to be able to woo anyone with words, that he thought marching into Copenhagen with his wife and the Oprah and a well-written speech would easily get his beloved Chi-town the 2016 games. He is otherwise a political genius… don’t believe the claims of puppeteering by Axelrod and others.
It is evident that while he is more politcally savvy than most politicians in recent history, if not all, his political chops are dwarfed by his monstrous ego. Perhaps its not a surprise that a man who dreams of a “world without nuclear weapons” thinks he can just talk the whole world into doing whatever he pleases, including host the Summer Olympics in the city of his choice. Even though Chicago is located in the evil country that started an “illegal war” and “committed atrocities” and all the other drivel that has oozed out of the left over the last few years, and yet Obama assumed his presence or inauguration would somehow clear the waters for the country his party spent years destroying in the eyes of the international community.
If this story is covered by the main news media (NBC, CBS, ABC), it will do immense damage to the Obama administration. Barack… what were you thinking?
