Rant of the Day

Chicago Out of Olympic Race - Obama Star Diminshed

Who is advising this man? Everyone on the planet seemed to agree that Barack Obama was taking a political risk by being the very first American President to personally advocate before the IOC on behalf of an American cities' bid to host the Olympic Games. Yet there he was, in Copenhagen, assuring the IOC that Chicago would make the world proud if it were to host the 2016 Games.

And when the very first vote takes place, Chicago is the very first city eliminated.

And now, Republican politicians, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Palin, - let's face it every wingnut and right-wing leaning pundit - will blast Mr. Obama for everything from wasting time and energy, to demeaning the office of the president, to pushing his "socialist" and "fascist" agenda.

Do we really have to endure this?
