“Asked during an August press conference whether the U.S. should boycott the Sochi games in response to Russia’s record on gay rights, Mr. Obama said, “One of the things I’m really looking forward to is maybe some gay and lesbian athletes bringing home the gold or silver or bronze, which I think would go a long way in rejecting the kind of attitudes that we’re seeing there. And if Russia doesn’t have gay or lesbian athletes, then that would probably make their team weaker.”

It’s just too bad the Olympics aren’t being held in Tehran, where obama could really share rampant homosexuality with his new friends

Obama should go himself and take Reggie with him.

If he wants gay representation he should lead it.

Obama really is crazy. Never has a U.S. president made the Olympics about sex and how the athletes prefer to have it. I am beyond disgusted.

Billie Jean King?! OMG!! That's FABULOUS!!!

This crap is way past old. Vlad, it's time to get one or two informative nuggets about President Heliotrope out of Edward Snowden's bag full o' fun and have some fun at this chess-playing pigeon's expense.

What a joke. The clown POTUS wants to create a “Jesse Owens” moment to promote his vilified homo agenda to the world. What a POS.

It’s only a matter of time before sex becomes an Olympic event.

Why do you think they added women's beach volleyball?

Would not surprise me as long as Obama remains in office, which could be a very long time.

I think it’s the dumba$$’ lame attempt at getting back at Putin for bitch-slapping him over Syria earlier in the year. As always, the jug-eared moron’s response to any principled position is the intellectual equivalent to “neener neener”.

Obama really is warped.

Someone should give Obama a history lesson. Hitler had racist policies, but that did not affect who could go to Germany to participate in the Olympics. Jesse Owens went and did things the way they should be done....he won. A little known fact is that after the Olympics, Hitler gave a tree to be planted in Owens' honor in his hometown, Cleveland.

Why can't Obama just SHUT UP, send a proper delegation to the opening ceremony, and let the athletes "do the talking" with their performance? Or does he have to always pick a fight just so he can manipulate its outcome? What does he expect to accomplish by raining on Putin's parade?

The one silver lining is that it’ll piss off Putin. As for “LGBT” athletes, some of the Soviet “female” athletes of past Olympics were beyond butch, let’s face it.

Putin already knows how easily Obama can be played. I wonder what he has cooked up as a response to this slap in the face of the Russian people?

But they weren’t paraded around wearing placards saying “I’m gay - look at ME!”

Personally, I don’t give a crap who anyone has sex with (unless it’s my kids) and I don’t see how it has anything to do with being in the Olympics. Just another way for Obama to tell Christians to f off.
