What the hell was He thinking?

"Chicago Out in First Round"

That's Drudge's headline as of about 30 seconds ago.  What the hell was Obama thinking?  He stood to gain almost nothing by going to Copenhagen to stump for the Olympics and had a much bigger potential for an embarassment.  Now the naive Obama has not only managed to embarrass himself, he has embarassed the office of the President and he has embarrassed the country.  By getting personally involved in this effort, he gave the IOC the chance to embarrass the US and, by golly, they took it.

Our preening, insufferably egotistical President seems to truly believe that his mere presence is enough to sway all who would dare oppose him.  From what I heard, Rio put on a spirited, upbeat presentation and Obama's was somber and downbeat and, amazingly, all about Him.

We are well and truly screwed, folks.  If you are a Bush hater and you thought Bush was a poor President, you ain't seen nothing yet.  Bush at least had the courage of his convictions.  His biggest sin was that he actually did the things that he said he was going to do.  He followed through.  Obama, on the other hand, puts on his suit, lines up his teleprompter, drops in and says a few things in that wonderful voice of his and leaves.  Not gonna be bothered with the details or the results.

I just can't wait to hear how the White House spins this utter embarrassment.
