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.

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.
