The Repubs were armed and ready to trash Barack Obama if the International Olympic Committee rejected the president’s adopted home town for the 2016 Olympics. Imagine how they felt when the Windy City was the first of the four eligibles to be blown away.
It didn’t matter that Mr. Obama’s visit to Copenhagen was simply a last minute nudge to voters or that those who have been lobbying for the honor for quite some time were back-doored in the true spirit of Chicago politics.
The Repubs has little to loose when they began their daily whine about our country’s leader when he climbed aboard Air Force One for the trip overseas. He MUST stay behind to help in getting this health care reform done.
Yeah, like they have been a cooperating party through this whole process.
Be that as it may, Rio de Janeiro was said to be schmoozing certain individuals to cast their ballot not for them, but for Japan on the first ballot. The idea was to eliminate the fiercest competition to their own bid and once Chicago bit the dust they would outclass Japan and Spain. Rio prevailed and the Repubs are throwing eggs at the president’s face.
This was not Mr. Obama’s fight, all he did was step in to see if he could help, and he made use of his time away from the United States meeting with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top commander in Afghanistan, while in Denmark. In fact, some believe the rejection is a positive thing in the long run.
It was a stunning outcome, as Katie Connolly of Newsweek’s “The Gaggle” said, as no one expected things to work out the way they did but her take may have been the most to the point.
Senior Advisor David Axelrod made the rounds on media outlets and he did not whine, he did not cry he was to the point. We lost, move on. However, while not coming right out and saying it, he echoed the same thing on each appearance - it is always a good thing for the president to do anything to shine a positive light on the United States, something the latter George Bush failed to understand – or do.
Or the Repubs.

"Obama would have been inextricably tied to all of this—the budget overruns, the construction hiccups, the predictable corruption. By going to Copenhagen, he became the public face of the effort."With this defeat, the Repub Party can blab through a few news cycles and it will all go away and we can get back to silliness of calling others names and watching more people die because the Party of No keeps throwing up roadblocks on National Healthcare.
