Obama’s Olympic failure will only add to doubts about his presidency

[Revmitchell]

Nearly one year ago, on a clear November night, people from every corner of the world gathered in the city of Chicago or in front of their televisions to watch the results of the U.S. Presidential election. Their interest wasn’t about me as an individual. Rather, it was rooted in the belief that America’s experiment in democracy still speaks to a set of universal aspirations and ideals. It sprung from the hope that in this ever-shrinking world, our diversity could be a source of strength and cause for celebration; and that with sustained work and determination, we could learn to live and prosper together during the fleeting moment we share on this Earth.

That work is far from over, but it has begun in earnest.

Sure he did. Every little dig he can get in he takes advantage of.

What is your link to this. By the way, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Olympics, at least as far as your quote shows.

Off topic again I see.

If you had bothered to read the earlier posts you would be aware that the quote was taken from Obama's plea to the IOC.

If it has nothing to do with the olympics you should take it up with Obama.

Ok, it should have been identified as part of that speech.

Now, do you think the work is over? I don't and it is not an insult to America. In fact, one of our strengths is that we admit to problems and work on them. I have found Europeans, while having a terrible attitude toward gypsies staunchly refuse to admit they are prejudice or have a problem.

Like you said... this has absolutely nothing to do with the Olympics.

Why did Obama bring it up other than to further his ongoing campaign for president of the world?

And why do you other than to further your ongoing campaign of reflexive defense of Obama?

You will have to ask his speech writer. :laugh:

I responded the way I did not to defend Obama, but because the reply, which was not well explained or defined, seemed to have nothing to do with the thread.

It seems there is no thread ever posted that really stays on topic on this BB.

Perhaps threads stray off topic because people post without reading first.

The quote in question needed no explanation to anyone who was following the thread instead of simply jumping in.

Thanks for posting this, alatide. It doesn't appear that he talked very long. And I agree with your assessment. I see no America bashing in it.

He told plenty of lies about Chicago.

He had to. He knew No sane person would consider the city if they knew the truth.

I guess the OIC already knew enough that his lies fooled no one.

 

[KenH]

Sure he did.

If you want to think that is badmouthing America, that's fine. I don't.

Of course not............

 

[alatide]

We should actually thank him. This is one way his muslim brothers will not be able to come to this country under the guise of the olympics and wreak havok.

You just make these lies up don't you?

Chicago’s dismal showing today, after Mr Obama’s personal, impassioned last-minute pitch, is a stunning humiliation for this President. It cannot be emphasised enough how this will feed the perception that on the world stage he looks good — but carries no heft.

That should read America's dismal showing... The president went on behalf of his nation and we as a nation were turned down. And I have no idea how this would be humiliation for the president, he gave his best which is all we ask of anyone.

Glad to see so many anti-American's applaud at its nations failures. What next, going to trip old people or throw obstacles in front of the blind.

Good to see your spinning skills have not waned in your absense.
