The one good thing coming out of Russia's horrible anti-gay laws -- the Obamas and the Bidens won't be attending the Olympics, saving us from weeks of fawning media coverage about their experiences in Russia.
Obama sends message by naming Sochi Olympic delegation
Obama sends message by naming Sochi Olympic delegation
The White House delivered a strong message of opposition to Russia's anti-gay laws Tuesday with the announcement of its delegation to the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics.
The White House delegation will include an openly gay athlete: tennis great Billie Jean King.
It will not include the president, first lady or the vice president, all who headed the previous four Olympic delegations, or a cabinet secretary, only a former one. This marks the first Olympics since the 2000 Sydney Summer Games that a U.S. president, vice president, first lady or former president has not been a member of the delegation for the opening ceremony, which will be Feb. 7 in Sochi.
