So you’ve all heard the big news today that the OIC has selected Rio de Jeniro as the site of the 2016 summer games. No doubt this is kick in the shins to President Obama.
Look, I feel bad for the city of Chicago. I would have tried to attend had the city been awarded the games. Chicago is a great city to visit. I think all Americans would be proud to be hosting the games no matter what city in the country would be hosting. But recent history does show that the games are an economic mess to the cities that host them. So maybe this is a blessing in disguise for the city of Chicago. After all the city was divided on whether or not to host the games. That probably played the biggest role in Chicago being the first city cut by the OIC.
For Obama it is a political blunder. A punch at his monster ego. With all the important issues facing the country he took time and spent tax payer dollars to go to Copenhage to lobby for his home city, only to come up shorthanded. Perhaps he needs to get a grasp on the duties of the job. Hopefully this will serve as a nice reality check for him.
All that said I believe Obama can save some face in all this by tieing in the faliure to get the games into a positive for his health care push. I suspect TOTUS (Teleprompter Of The United States) will tell us today that, “Ummmm, uhhh this was the plan all along. Uhhh, by not hosting the games the city of Chicago and the entire country will, ummm, save, uhhh money. That uhhh money can now be ummm put forth to giving health care coverage to all. Ummm, that I believe, I think…uh, is inline with the true spirit of the Olympic games. We uhhh, wish all the best to umm Rio, and the citizens of Argentina, the South American continent, and ummm, uhh the, uhh all the athletes and fans that will participate in the uhhh games in 2016.”
Another mission accomplished for President Barack Obama.
