Good god, you people are reading way too much into this and what it says about Obama.

It's actually not unusual for Heads of State to support their country's Olympic bid. Only one city gets to win everytime. I guess, by this logic, Brett Favre sucks at quarterback because he didn't win the Super Bowl last year.

Who knew?

Brett Farve wasn't wasting taxpayers dollars on a trip. Brett Farve didn't have a crumbling health care plan, high unemployment, middle east problems, etc, etc, etc.

Do you really think something amazing was going to happen at 3am local time on the East Coast when he was giving his speech in Copenhagen before immediately coming back to the USA?

Stop harping on the Bush administration! They did the best they could!

By the way, his wife who he ran off on endless vacations with and refused
to return (even when New Orleans was under water) was Laura, not Michelle.

Not sure what your obession with the Simpsons is but you keep using that same excuse that doesnt fly.

Obama did NOT have to go. He has more pressing issues to be concerned about.

Hey Obama wants to make us pay for his cap and trade bill to help fight global warming. Jet Fuel causes Global warming does it not? hmmmmm

You care about helping the poor right? How many poor could we have helped with the money we saved from Obama NOT going
