Yes, it would be great for Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Games, but I have a problem with the Obama's personally going overseas to sell the idea. One of which is that if we get the games here in the USA again, he will get credit for it rather than the people who have devoted countless hours on the matter. I doubt he will make a big difference, short of ,making political promises. I have a problem with him stealing the limelight.
Any thoughts?
Have other past presidents set up personal meeting to pimp the Olympics?

If he's the first, then it's a shame. Every Head of State should do whatever they can to get the Olympics held in their country.
He should definitely be pushing the people who have been heavily involved in the bidding process though.

I agree he should support them, but I do not believe a politician should personally meet with the decision makers on a non-political issue.
Again, if we get the Olympics in Chicago, who will get credit? Those who spend hundreds, if not thousands of hours , or him?
Besides, as president, shouldn't he be addressing our real concerns?

No probelm with it. If bush would have gone to wherever to help Houston get the bid I wouldn't have a problem with it either. We know, you hate Obama..

It actually doesn't bother me that he's trying to get the Olympics in the US, but there are a shitload of higher priorities he needs to be dealing with.
But, Obama is such a fucking narcissist, that he probably thinks that his mere presence will get the Olympic bid.

He has phones all over the place, but for some reason, he's only talked to General McChrystal once in 70 days.

If you've ever listened to or spoke to Stan, you'd understand. I'm pretty sure he's on his way out.

What do you think of him stealing the limelight from those who actually do the hard work?

It would have been nice if Barrack and Michelle could have plane-pooled instead of both of them taking their "private" planes the same day to the same place. They are really "leading by example" on energy conservation.

True. I wonder how many liberals know how big her staff is. Does the first lady need that many tax dollars to pamper her?

Still wish he'd just make a phonecall. But the celebrity president needs his red carpet moment.

kids faces are being bashed in in his hometown, but it's off to denmark.
it's not if you win or lose it's how you look playing the game.
i really think those upset about this are just predisposed to bashing obama. it's not a big deal.

from the AP today:
"Obama is just one of four big name leaders being brought in by the cities. Rio will have Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Madrid will have King Juan Carlos, and Japan will have new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama."
Every head of state must be a credit-taking attention whore....
Again, if we get the Olympics in Chicago, who will get credit? Those who spend hundreds, if not thousands of hours , or him?
Who cares who gets credit?
Besides, as president, shouldn't he be addressing our real concerns?
I think the Olympics is a pretty big deal. I think he can push this and address real concerns. It's not like he's spending his presidency on vacation golfing and clearing brush.

It is cronyism. I don't mind Obama trying to get the Olympics in US, but thats not the case.
1. He is going for his political hacks in the CHi
2. He couldn't answer certain questions from the media( the softball throwing MSM) because he doesn't have time for the little stuff.
