I had to pull the car over onto the shoulder as I was laughing so hard I couldn’t see. My wife and I had just left the house on our way to pick up our daughter from college to take her to the doctor’s office. I had just turned on the radio to listen to Glenn Beck on the way and the first thing I heard him say was that he wanted to break the news and to hang on past the commercial.
I really hadn’t even thought about the IOC voting Friday morning. I knew, of course that Obama was spending millions of our dollars trying to take care of some payback he owed to the boys back in Chicago. Valerie Jarrett owned some property also that could certainly use a buyer, especially if the buyer was going to be paying top dollar for it. Michelle, and the Big ‘O’ were already in Copenhagen to the delight of the main stream media.
I think everyone took it for granted that no one would be stupid enough to send Obama over to Copenhagen, on the taxpayer’s dime, to campaign for the Olympics to be held in Chicago if it weren’t a done deal! I assumed that the ‘fix was in’ on the deal and his going over there was just to receive the accolades for doing such a wonderful job in politicking for them.
Glenn came back on after the break and they had set up a bit where Stu was the ‘on the spot’ reporter watching the events unfold and when they said that Chicago had lost the bid on the first round I really thought they were joking. When it became obvious that they were serious, I had to pull over and the first thing I thought of was the ‘de-motivational’ pictures I had seen online that were captioned ‘EPIC FAIL.’ I had to pull off the road I was laughing so hard.
Later, when I had a chance to get to my computer I checked out The Drudge Report and the headline there said, The Ego Has Landed. For our nation’s sake, I hope the ego has landed and this presidency will stop being all about Obama and more about this country.
Congratulations to Rio!
But, that’s just My Arrogant Opinion
