Isn’t it comforting to learn that during a difficult time when multiple international crises are gripping the world, the President of the United States can devote time and attention to the international Gay Games, while taking a break from the more pressing duties of his office, such as playing golf and vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard...
Is there any doubt the bamster is a rump ranger?
Because it has been decreed that everything must be viewed through a homosexual lens.
Ø is only a symptom of the disease that killed this republic.
I must have missed something. Are gays no longer allowed to participate in the Olympics?
Waste of time. They are all Obama voters.
Segregation is only acceptable when self-identified minorities choose to be with their own kind.
Maybe Joan Rivers was right after all about 0Bama and his school lunch side kick. Here we have crisis after crisis that he ignores or exhibits ambivalence, but he has time for the gay games.... priorities, people!!!!! This man does not care about the USA and has not fulfilled his responsibilities as President. If anyone of us under performed or did not perform his or her job like he does we would be fired. There will always be someone willing, able, and competent to fill the void. One begins to think that even Joe Biden would be more able to do the job as President better than the “hip hop” empty suit who is off to Martha’s Vineyard for some golf and ice cream.
They were apparently allowed to participate at Sochi, the “gay propaganda” law of Russia notwithstanding. Obama was stirring the pot back then.
There’s a gay games?
What happened to being seeing as equals?

All this attention to < 2% of the population. This president has a perverse sense of priorities. The world is aflame and he’s on vacation but still can pander to a tiny sliver of the population.

Yeah, this is the guy Chris Matthews says is the perfect family man and perfect American. Perfect asshole is more like it.
This means we can now form a Straight Games, right?
was obama wearing a leather thong during this video message ?
Did he throw out the first ball?

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany, Feb. 6. — The fourth Olympic Winter Games began today with an American victory, although it is only a minor victory. In the hockey elimination contests this afternoon the United States defeated Germany, 1 to 0, in a game notable for its slowness.
