It's honestly shocking to me to see conservatives across the world applauding at the city of Chicago losing it's bid for the Olympics in 2016. Apparently seeing an opportunity for America's cultural and economic gain pass America by is a cause for celebration, simply because it represents Obama's efforts toward that have failed. If Obama was trying to climb up a tree to save a kitten dangling over the highway, and the kitten let go and fell to it's death before he could get to it, I imagine that the kittens demise would be greeted with fanfare by the conservative community, with pundits slapping each other on the back and saying "I guess that shows him!"
I'm starting to wonder whose ******* side you guys are on. It doesn't seem to be ours.
If I am not mistaken, wasn't the Liberal promise of an Obama presidency as it relates to the international scene that we would be loved by one and all? Wasn't that effect supposed to sweep numerous countries into the fights against terror in both Iraq and Afghanistan? Not sure that I'm seeing this happeing.
Weren't the dictators of the world supposed to stop hating and lay down their guns to worship the new and just USA under the leadership of Obama?
Wasn't every problem in the world an offshoot of the clumsy and cowboy approach of GWB?
So now GWB is retired in Texas and for the most part has been pretty silent. Certainly moreso than Carter was during the Bush years.
Obama in the mean time has done what?
Signed into law the expenditure of more than 1 TRILLION dollars between the other half of the TARP and the Stimulus, bail out, buy out, pay off bill. Results? Auto sales are tanking. Chrysler is Foreign owned. Saturn is shut down and the US Auto Workers Union is alive and well even though most of the real US Auto workers are employed by foreign companies and are not in the UAW. Unemployment just shy of 10%.
The dictators of the world are in a love fest with whom? How about Korea? Iran? Venezuela? Russia? China? Korea pretty much is just waiting for another bribe. Iran is racing toward a Nuke. Venezuela is developing a "special" relationship with Obama as the little country that keeps making an monkey's pitute of Obama. Russia's view of "re-set" is to re-establish its sphere of influence in the Eastern Block and Obama removes the missile shield. Interesting push back there... China continues to become the world's economic super power.
Iran's new nukes and new missiles are an interesting combo platter especially in view of the removed missile shield. It goes nicely with a side of Korean Missiles on a bed of Japanese rearmament.
Losing the Olympics to Rio is not the cause of the celebration. This is just an exposure of the complete and utter lack of accomplishment that this president has given us. It is not the loss itself but rather what it brings into crystal clarity.
The Left says that he's is ultra competent and his record says that he's a bumbling fool with no experience, poor judgement, questionable affilliations and an absolutely great speaking style. Starting about three months or so back, every time his face came on the screen, which was often, I asked, "How stupid does he think we are?"
No matter how beautifully he speaks about his partisan, divisive view of the country and the world, it is still partisan and is still divisive.
The polls may or may not be correct, but this Olympic thingy is undeniably revealing. The International Community has spoken.
