One can only imagine the resentment of the IOC members when confronted with the condescention of these uppity Chicago politicians who are nothing more than rookies on the international stage. George Will's comments were spot on, and the outpouring of adulation from our sycophantic American media probably did nothing to help matters ("Michelle Obama Steals The Show" - yeah, right on!). It has been mentioned several times that the international leaders that have become acquainted with Barack Hussein Obama think he is both naive and arrogant to the extreme. This olympic failure is of little consequence - Chicago doesn't get the games in 2016, who cares? However, his judgemental ineptitude could result in far more serious repercussions when dealing with Iran, Afghanistan and other international adversaries. Let's hope the country can survive another 3 1/2 years until this fool is voted out of office.
