RobH4413 10-02-2009, 12:45 PM Olympics are lame IMO Just not much to them as far as entertainment goes. I never really got into them. mredskins 10-02-2009, 12:59 PM Olympics are lame IMO Just not much to them as far as entertainment goes. I never really got into them. x2! totally agree! GMScud 10-02-2009, 01:40 PM I was surprised that Chicago finished last out of the cities. Of course I wanted the Olympics in the USA, but I had to chuckle at DrudgeReport's headline with regard to the Obama's failure to sway the Olympic Committee- "The Ego Has Landed." Ha. 12thMan 10-02-2009, 01:51 PM Yeah, Drudge is having a field day. I was indifferent one way or another. Of course the media wants to make it a win or lose proposition for Obama. The coverage of it all has been sort of silly. I'm glad it's over. GMScud 10-02-2009, 02:12 PM Yeah, Drudge is having a field day. I was indifferent one way or another.

I think South America deserved it simply because they have never hosted an Olympics, but I don't really care that much about where it's hosted, as long as the USA wins lots of gold medals. I personally think it was a mistake for Obama to fly over there and put in his two cents. Given how ridiculously negative and partisan politics are (especially lately), he probably should have just left this one alone. Although in a few days no one will care anyway. KLHJ2 10-02-2009, 02:40 PM YAY! Glad that's over! Now we can get back to the real issues. Do you think that Zorn will try a trick play this week? Maybe a run to the right? 12thMan 10-02-2009, 02:47 PM Agreed.

Exactly, come Tuesday no one will give a damn. You know at first I thought it was a mistake for him to go over too. But he spent all of four hours on the ground, had a meeting with Mccrystal (sp) on Air Force One on the way over, and had he not gone and we still lost the bid they would have blamed the president for being unpatriotic and not caring about the Olympics. So he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. dmek25 10-02-2009, 02:56 PM good post by scud. and 12th your right. come Tuesday, Fox will have found another reason why Obama is the worst president of all time firstdown 10-02-2009, 02:56 PM Yeah, Drudge is having a field day.

Well I think Obama opened that up by going there in the first place. It was nice to see he took a break from all the Sunday talk shows, and Letterman to spend a whopping 25 minutes with our Commander of US forces in Afghanistan.
