You forgot Drudge's first line, "The Ego has Landed", which is totally applicable to obama and the Mrs.

It was all about him. He thought he'd just waltz in there, like the rock star he is and give another of his oratory masterpieces and the committee would fall at his feet.

His problem is he believes the slavering press about his celebrity.

They, as well as people in the US are starting to see through his senseless, rhetorical flourish filled with cliches, platitudes and what he thinks people want to hear, like stuff they already know.

It was a humiliating spectacle for him to involve himself in - like he doesn't have enough to do at home.

That was a little over the top for my taste.

I did, however, enjoy the "Barack Hussein Obama...MMM..MMM..MMM" references. Those words (attributable to the NJ school kids who were taught to sing his praises) should be repeated over and over and over with Limbaugh-esque sarcasm to drive home just how outrageous it is.

Never mind. Not only can you not do it, you never post anything of substance to back up your rantings. Never. Ever.
Craig Kilborn put a picture of Bush up on his tv show with the line "snipers wanted" underneath it.

Then there were the people who said Bush planned 9/11 so he could have an excuse to go into Iraq.

And Kanye West said Bush didn't care about black people.

And people accused Bush of letting blacks die in New Orleans.

On the other hand, Rush didn't want the Olympics in Chicago. That evil man. LOLs.

Odd that it happened so fast, though. Chicago was practically the first location to get rejected. Didn't our esteemed President just get back from making the first in-person Presidential sales pitch in Olympic history?

Better keep your day job, Barack. While you can.

Guys........Rio has a worse crime rate, more gangs, more drugs, more corruption and more of everything that is bad about large cities than Chicago ever will.

And I love both cities.

The "Snipers Wanted" picture was as hateful as some of the comments made about Obama.

The other things you posted were people commenting on events. And only crackpots think Bush planned 9/11.

But it's not that Rush didn't want the Olympics in Chicago. Why would he care? He's in Florida. And who doesn't want the Olympics in their country? Countries fight for it because it brings millions of dollars into the area as well as prestige. The ONLY reason they're glad is because Obama made a trip to lobby for the U.S. and didn't get what he wanted. That is the single only reason and you know it.

It's called cutting off your nose to spite your face and it's simple-minded middle-school, hateful, tacky-ass behavior.

Republicans should be ashamed.

It's hypocritical. Spending to fix problems is what's done, and spending one day attempting to bring money, tourists, jobs, and the global media to the industrial heartland is a pretty cheap way to do it.

I don;t know how many times I have said this but it was because of Bush's actions that Republicans lost the last elections! Why don't you lefties get it? Many of us that vote Republican believed they needed to be taught a lesson, so many did not go to the polls. Boy what a mistake we made! I wholeheartedly blame Bush for hussein obama!

Rush was just commenting on events.

I for one did not and do not want the Olympics in the United States. And I don't live anywhere near Chicago.

Craig Who-born? How many google's did it take to get to that little chestnut?

I don't think that the weak minded folks in that youtube are traitors. It's sad when entertainers run a political party. The GOP should be ashamed that they've let the anti-intellectuals run the asylum.

And the OOM show in Copenhagen is a bit of an oopsie, but the raving right will run with it like Obama has committed a crime against humanity and should be impeached immediately.

I didn't google it. I remember when it happened. Didn't watch it on youtube either.
