It was a “rookie” sales call filled with “rookie” mistakes. Good thing these folks aren’t out on the street selling for a living, they’d go broke! That presentation, and I listened to all of it, was all about Obama and nothing in it that would HELP the IOC be successful. Amazing mistakes, rookie mistakes!
