While his trip is certainly within the province of presidential duty, it begs the question, why did he do it?
As the Brazilians celebrate, he looks foolish, not to mention weak to the world. If the president had been able to peddle his influence and bring the games to Illinois, he would have looked effective now, and not coincidentally, effective at the end of his second term (provided he wins one) when the games would take place.-- Talk about historic grandeur and a sure way to memorialize one’s legacy!

Too bad Chicago lost the Olympic bid....Cabrini-Green would have made a lovely Olympic Village.
Actually, it was Louis XV who was famously quoted as saying he was synonymous with the state.
Louis XVI was the unlucky recipient of a rather unpleasant haircut.
It is not a Presidential "duty".

Rove is spot on. By the way I was at the grocery store yesterday. A black guy was going around the aisles yelling at white customers that they were the cause for Obama failing to get the Olympic games. This guy was not a street person. He had on a suit and tie. The manager of the place finally went over to him to calm him down. It was a truly bizarre scene. The manager then went to the check-out stands and started to bag groceries for the customers and thanking them for their business. I have never seen the manager bag groceries before yesterday.
In fact, the olympic fiasco weakens the entire criminal structure behind king obuma. Big mistake, fools.
Sorry, Soros, Tides Foundation and Goldman Sachs, it’s another step to the gallows for you crypto-Nazi traitors.
He did it because 1) it was another opportunity to get publicity and 2) he and Michelle were overdue for a vacation.
I don’t understand. In Chicago, don’t they count the votes first and then hold the election?
Yes, there were a lot of ‘I’ and ‘me’ in his speech (as usual) + the fact the he has been telling the entire world for the past 2 years what a rotten country this is.
Does the man have no sense at all?
Yikes! What did you do?
What town are you in? BO has brought out the racism in blacks. That’s the only thing he’s done.
He loves himself and loves to hear himself speak.
“Why Did Obama Do It?”
Hubris. He’s a legend in his own mind.
Nice touch.
perfect opportunity to video things like that and post them to You tube. Imagine if it was reversed?
Shop for groceries, like the rest of the customers there. This black guy was in a rage, hurling insults at white customers because Obama did not get the Olympics.
OBAMA (THAT BUMBLIN' CLOWN)
Tune: "Chicago (That Toddlin' Town)"
Obama, Obama, that bumblin' clown
Obama, Obama, he will fumble around--and flub it
Bet your teleprompter he'll lose the games for Chicago, Chicago
So bad that Oprah Winfrey will have to frown
Olympics are slim picks, when Barry's your shill
You do things like lose out to Brazil
He had the task, Chicago to sell
I had to laugh, he came with Michelle
O Chicago, Obama let you down!
Obama, Obama, that bumblin' clown
Obama, Obama, he'll fumble around--and flub it
Bet your teleprompter he'll lose the games for Chicago, Chicago
So bad that Oprah Winfrey will have to frown
Olympics are slim picks, when Barry's your shill
You do things like losing out to Brazil--still
He had the task, Chicago to sell
I had to laugh when he came with Michelle
O Chicago, Obama--Obama sure let you down!
