Post Cushions Olympian Obamas
American Spectator ^ | October 3, 2009 | Quin Hillyer

Posted on 10/04/2009 5:02:13 AM PDT by libstripper

When Hell freezes over five times in succession and rhinoceri write sonnets on Pluto, the Washington Post's Robin Givhan will stop writing love letters to Michelle Obama. Here the Obamas broke precedent and put the prestige of the presidency on the line, as well as ignoring much more pressing problems at home, all for a spectacularly unsuccessful and remarkably narcissistic effort to secure the Olympics for the Chicago Way, and all Givhan can do is gush about how wonderfully Michelle Obama had performed anyway. Givhan wrote that the First Lady "was her team's most valuable player." And, quoting others, ""She was truly elegant, articulate and persuasive." Givhan again: "In the end, the failed bid notwithstanding, not even the leader of the free world managed to outshine the first lady. Officials who met with her were impressed, particularly with her ability to quickly shift gears as she chatted with everyone from up-and-coming athletes to heads of state."And: "The first lady could just as easily have received a gold star."

who has personal vested interests in the possible favorable outcome...

Ah, but Americans are the true Gold Medal winners here. True, untold million$ to schlep the -9bamas to Copenhagen so that, perhaps without them over there there would be '16 Olympics in Chicago, but poking their arrogant narcissistic heads there, guaranteed Chicago would be turned down. By turning it down, Americans save untold Trillion$ over the next 5-6 years in stimulus monies that won't be "spent".

As tidbits of info leak on how IOC members actually felt about Obamas it's becoming clear that pompous-ass lecturing plainly freaked them out. Enough to deliver a kick in the posterior to the first couple.

Yeah, I had to really laugh about that one of Michelle's. These two are so stupid they can't even get their facts right for a lie!

And, if you want to believe Michelle...imagine her poor papa with all that weight on his lap! He is the one who deserves the Olympic medal.

I also heard that she spoke about how her dad taught her to box in the streets of Chicago. Great idea, Michelle. Your city is full of street-fighting gangs, and you tell the Olympic committee that is where you learned to fight! I am sure that impressed them and removed their fears about crime in Chi town.

But, actually, I am glad that for the first time these self-loving egomaniacs have been dissed in public. It is clear the Europeans see through their phony front. To them, the Obamas are "Transparent." But, they will keep being polite, in the European way, as they laugh secretly. After all, now they don't have to fear America...the Obamas have weakened our country financially and as a world power.

Didn’t Miss obamma make the statement that she was there, in Copenhagen, to win the Olympics for Chicage, that they were going to win. That is why she was there in Copenhagen. Talking about egg on your face!
