SALT LAKE CITY -- Former Massachusetts governor and head of the 2002 Olympic Organizing Committee Mitt Romney says President Obama is doing exactly what needs to be done by flying to Denmark to lobby for the Olympics to come to Chicago in 2016.
Romney tells ABC News that having a sitting president make a personal pitch can make an enormous difference to the 106 members of the International Olympic Committee.
"I think the people in the IOC want to understand the level of the commitment of the host country," Romney said. "Does the host country really care? Is this going to be a high priority? And nothing says that like having the presence of the leader of that country and, particularly, the case of Barack Obama."

lets just hope Obama has a great time attending the Olympics in 2016 as a private citizen. He and Mitt can even sit together and hopefully watch as a different President makes an appearance.

I love my country deeply.
I love the city of Chicago.
But I would just laugh my ass off if the games go to Rio.

ROFL! Shut up and sit down Mitt...we don’t want it here in the Chicago mafia town...
They’re already planning for us to pick up the bill for it, and we say NO!
If Chicago wants it, then Chicago businessmen who will be making the profits off of it need to build it!
Again, NO!

Glenn Beck says that we ought to write our congressional folks today and request that they pledge not to bail out Chicago when they lose a billion dollars on this move.
Tony Blankley (I think it was him) said the fair in Chicago would be the crime of the century.(or some such)

Romney is a loser. What is wrong with him?

Romney is a weasel. I hope he’s not planning on another run for “leader”.
