while soldiers in afghanistan are being shot at and dying, michelle obama, that greedy, bitter woman, says it is ‘a sacrifice’ for herself and barack obama to go to copenhagen to lobby for the city of chicago to host 2016 olympics. she says she’s doing this ‘for the children of chicago and the united states’. seriously. she actually said that.
really? a few questions then…
michelle, who thinks its a sacrifice for you and your feckless incompetent husband to go to copenhagen at a time like this? um, i see no hands. sadly, the country is finding out that this is how you people do things — jet set around while the country suffers, incredulous at your gall.
and just out of curiousity, where is the money to do the olympics coming from? is the obama’s ‘sacrifice’ for america or is it for the obamas to pay back all their chitown buddies by flooding millions and millions of dollars into the city?
the obamas never talk about the goodness and greatness of our country – its always about them and their inflated hubris. assuming, god forbid, obama is reelected, the 2016 olympics would be held in his hometown during his last year in office providing him one last ‘me’ and ‘i’ time with the world watching.
i don’t see this trip as being a ‘YAY AMERICA!’ trip, do you? many chicogoans don’t want the olympics there – have the obamas considered them? i am quite certain they have not. frankly, it seems like just more creepy adulation time for The One and just another chance to feed the chicago political machine.
and michelle, buy a dictionary and look up the word sacrifice. you have no idea what the word means.
David says: AB-SO-F***ING-LUTELY! You are so correct on this.
The Obama’s are one of the most blind, arrogant, self-absorbed couples that has ever walked the halls of the WH.
I just hope (and pray) that their own narcissism doesn’t take the rest of the country down with them.
VRWC says: “Hey guys! Let’s all go to Denmark on a bunch of separate planes and sell the IOC on Chicago-style Olympics! The hell with making a decision about sending more troops to Afghanastan. The ground commanders can wait for an answer – that’s what I pay them for. Besides, I just talked to them 70 days ago! My “skeptical about more troops” line will hold ’em off a bit longer. That was a good one wasn’t it? I am so great! Michelle is great too but a little less great then me of course”.
steve b says: I can cut them some slack, mayber there is no arugula in Denmark, and do you have any idea how hard it is to learn how to speak Copenhagen is just a matter of days.
Tammy says: Hi Kate
Lots of Chicagoans don’t want the Olympics here. There is a big movement against Chicago and for Rio. We even have a website:
http://www.Chicagoansforrio.com
Stephanie says: Very good article…my thoughts exactly!
Leo says: This is so true. And the unreported cost of yet another one of Barack Obama’s narcissistic escapades at taxpayers’ expense is … ? He took AF1 and the backup plane. She took a 757. Another plan was taken for other supports. What about their carbon footprint? Silence for the Climate Change/Green Crowd.
Jervis says: The Obama’s better watch what they wish for. Can you imagine the worldwide coverage last weeks brutal murder of that honor student would have gotten if thousands of media outlets from all over the world had been in town? Can you imagine the crime and shakedowns that will occur by thugs preying on tourists? You can’t clean out the vermin that quickly. It is systemic there. I lived in Chicago for 37 years until I moved my family out 7 years ago. My brother was on the force for 16 years. Chicago has been sterotyped as Mobsters and Crooks and rightly so. Keep the Olympics out of Chicago!
PenniePan says: Such nasty little people here! Don’t you understand that Michelle Obama is an ambassador for us? That the Olympics is what helps build good will with other countries while lifting up oppressed areas like Chicago? They need the revenue. We as a country need the goodwill (thanks to Shrubs’ destruction of our foreign relations). And get over yourselves about Afghanistan! We need out of that hell hole. Barack plans to make sure we will be as quick as feasibly possible. Now crawl back under your rocks little people.
Ann Coulter was on CNN and said she was a little bit jealous of Glenn Beck. And, why not? He’s more of a woman than she’ll ever be!
Any fool knows that if the Olympics are granted to Chicago all were going to see is one incredibly huge community reinvestment act that allows the largest concentration of political crooks in this country(Obamas buddies) to syphon money off to their own interests and pockets.
This is the epitome of the fox watching the hen house.
Marsha says: “Ann Coulter was on CNN and said she was a little bit jealous of Glenn Beck. And, why not? He’s more of a woman than she’ll ever be!”
I hate to get muddy, I just showered but Dade that may be true about GB and AC but they’re pundits and work for a living based on viewership. You can turn them off. You don’t have to buy their books or contribute to them whatsoever.
But what’s MO’s excuse? She is suppose to represent ALL of us. She is the worst First Lady this country has seen. She is rude and hostile. She is greedy and elitist and she has the worse fashion sense of any FL ever.
And since YOU brought up physical attacks, allow me to reciprocate: MO’s ass is so big, she needs 2 airline seats. It’s embarrassing. But her head is bigger then her ass. Her arrogance and pride (except for America) is bigger then her head and her ass combined! She is greedy and living the high life on the tax payer’s dime. Mine and yours. Her husband won’t work at least not at the hard stuff like Afghanistan, Gitmo. He wants to play all the time. We can’t turn them off like you can GB and AC. At least not for 3 years and 3 months.
Linda says: As my husband continues to pound the pavement looking for ANY employment, AGAIN BO and his wife get dolled up to sightsee under the guise of “bettering America” and “doing it for the children”. Meanwhile, BO cant get his sorry ass to pay attention to our troops who are living in tents and facing death every moment at the hands of religious fanatics whose only mission in life is to kill American soldiers. Did you know we are Democrats? Born and raised in Democrat families. We’re blue collar, union. We always just checked the Democrat candidate box without question. Even voted for Obama. After all of this, Bill and I will never vote for another damn Democrat again. That’s a promise for what it’s worth which these days is nothing.
Ringo says: First let me say you have your protocol wrong, wrong, wrong in this article. You should be saying PRESIDENT Obama. That is proper and respectful, unless you just want to be a guttersnipe troglodyte like other rightwing nut jobs. Secondly, I really appreciate President Obama’s pitch for the Olympics. It’s nice to see a President work for all of us on something else that can boost our economy unlike the past illegitimate regime who only cared about the top 2% of the country.
David says: PenniePan said, “Such nasty little people here!” and then she ends her post saying, “Now crawl back under your rocks little people.”
That’s very UN-nasty of you, isn’t it, Pennie? (sarcasm) Jeepers, can’t you even do what you say WITHIN YOUR OWN POST?? Sheesh.
Also, Dade said, “Ann Coulter was on CNN and said she was a little bit jealous of Glenn Beck. And, why not? He’s more of a woman than she’ll ever be!”
Personal attacks = you ain’t got nothin’ of importance to say.
Jared says: Ringo I would not look to the Olympics alone as a source of jobs. In fact, since most Olympics lose money, they are a net loss of jobs, too. You cannot maintain jobs while losing money. So, the Olympics is like calling Christmas retail a good source of jobs. Well, it is if you consider a job to be 5 or 6 weeks.
The building boom that will occur is a different situation however many, many homes and businesses will have to be bought up to make room for all the new venues that will have to be built. The cost to clear out the cesspool called Chicago to build state of the art facilities will be astronamical.
This is not one of the President’s brighter ideas and the timing of all of this couldn’t be worse.
Check this! David says:
“Personal attacks = you ain’t got nothin’ of importance to say.”
Now, let’s go back through the comments made by tea-baggers on this blog:
Here’s Marsha, on Michelle Obama:
She is the worst First Lady this country has seen. She is rude and hostile. She is greedy and elitist and she has the worse fashion sense of any FL ever.
Here’s one from micky, referring to Pennie:
“You are a “sick bitch” in every sense of the two words.”
Oh, and here’s one by David himself!
“The Obama’s are one of the most blind, arrogant, self-absorbed couples that has ever walked the halls of the WH.”
Hilarious!!!!!!!
BikerDan says: Hey what’s not to love about the idea of 2016 Chicago Olympics? Corrupt politicians will make a killing. Blago will be out of prison by then and get a hotdog consession cart next to Olympic Stadium. Every unemployed relative of every alderman gets a cushy, no-show job. Street gangs, pimps, and drug pushers can do neighborhood watch to “protect” the tourists. Construction deals, Land deals, insurance deals, commerce deals, deals, deals,deals. The whole thing bankrolled by taxpayers aka We The People. I have just a few questions: how do I buy in, who to I have to pay off and does it include tickets to Olympic Boxing?
SBT says: Who IS paying for the trip – the city of Chicago or the US taxpayers? He is going on Air Force One and that costs an arm and a leg. He should stay home and work on the multitude of problems the country has on its plate – healthcare reform, Iran, Russia, the national debt, Afghanistan, to name a few. Instead he’s out hacking for Chicago – what a crock. I have nothing to say about her.
Jane says: I think it fantastic that Barack is doing what he can to get the Olympics to Chicago. That would bring in hundreds of million dollars into the city and the economy. Don’t forget that Bush did quite a bit of traveling himself even going to the Beijing Olympics with family when Iraq was still iffy and Afghanistan beginning to explode. Why begrudge this? Isn’t there more to be concerned about then this? Why pick on Michelle? She is simply supporting the city of her birth. Whether you like it or not, the Olympics always shine a positive light on the host country. You hate anything Barack does so this comment is futile.
Paul says: I’d rather Rio get it, better sights to see, especially the women who wear those great bikini bottoms… or not.
Jared I disagree. I believe Chicago would get a significant jobs increase for the years leading up to the actual games and then afterwards.
Ginny's_Mom says: Those Obamas sure love their vacations! Apparently Michelle has not been to Denmark yet. Are the kids, dog, and grandma going also?
Marsha says: “Here’s Marsha, on Michelle Obama:
She is the worst First Lady this country has seen. She is rude and hostile. She is greedy and elitist and she has the worse fashion sense of any FL ever.”
Yes Dade only after you came in with your attacks. Michelle Obama is suppose to represent ALL of us. She doesn’t. Beck and Coulter are just talking heads thats all. Turn them off.
A_Reluctant_Pundit says: Both Los Angeles and Atlanta made a profit on the Games. This could be good for Chicago.
Pamela says: I am sorry but Americans are going hungry and losing homes. It is not time for the Gov’t to spend one thin dime on sports. Rio 2016.
PenniePan says: Jane she also can’t write anything decent about our First Lady!!! I wonder what it’s like to live with so much hate. This is a pathetically abusive blog and I don’t know why I stay.
Scarlett says: Unbelieveable attack on our VERY POPULAR First Lady here in this post. That’s pretty pathetic.
BTW I love how the conservatives here are yapping about the costs of a plane trip to represent our country’s bid for the 2016 summer games. THE OLYMPIC GAMES! I guess Bill Clinton was right with his comments about the right wing smear game going full blast to attack everything Obama does.
“First Lady Michelle Obama receives generally positive ratings from the public, with 50 percent viewing her favorably and just seven percent viewing her unfavorably. An additional 41 percent are undecided or don’t know.”
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/09/24/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5337798.shtml
scarlett
very popular? only 50% rate MO as favorable with a whopping 41% of people undecided or don’t know. isn’t that remarkable? you know why her “undecided” is so high? because she is a nightmare and when she does speak, like her “sacrifice” comment, people are simply stunned by her – and not in a good way. so team obama keeps her under wraps, to do no harm otherwise her #’s would be in the gutter. she is a nightmare.
Randy Bass says: This could be good for Chicago.
Sure it would. Just bad for everybody else! If the IOC were to spend just 1 fricken weekend in that rat hole, Chicagoland, they would give the 2016 Olympics to Bagdad for godsakes! Just fence in the city and rename it Illinois State Penn.
MJ says: “michelle, who thinks its a sacrifice for you and your feckless incompetent husband to go to copenhagen at a time like this? um, i see no hands. sadly, the country is finding out that this is how you people do things — jet set around while the country suffers, incredulous at your gall.”
That is such a great line and so true!
Dade.
Why shouldnt I say what I said to Pennie ?
——————————————-
“Here’s one from micky, referring to Pennie:
“You are a “sick bitch” in every sense of the two words.”
———————————————
Do think its admirable to tease someone of a life threatening cancer just because you’re to fcking dumb to argue a decent point ?
You defend her as if you’re so righteous ? And then the hypocrite comes out and says;
“I wonder what it’s like to live with so much hate. ”
Unbelievable
————————–
Scarlett;
“Bill Clinton was right with his comments about the right wing smear game going full blast to attack everything Obama does.”
yeah, I guess you forgot what Bush had to endure for 8 years ? Paybacks a bitch aint it ?
Paul;
“I believe Chicago would get a significant jobs increase for the years leading up to the actual games and then afterwards.”
I can almost promise you the majority of the funds will end up in Obamas cronies pockets and once the Olympics are over Chicago will just be a skeleton of buildings and facilities that no one knows what the hell to do with.
I’ve been to Chicago, its depressing. Having the Olympics there would be like opening a pre school in a bar in the South Bronx
David says: Dade,
“The Obama’s are one of the most blind, arrogant, self-absorbed couples that has ever walked the halls of the WH.” is an evaluation of the evident BEHAVIOR and actual ACTIONS of the Obamas. It is not a comment on their GENDER IDENTITY such as your comment about Ann Coulter.
Ken says: “This is a pathetically abusive blog and I don’t know why I stay.”
Because we all get such a good laugh out of your “opinions”.
I kind of like this blog—I have read some very accurate opinions. I think there is a chance the country is not totally lost. Keep blogging and expressing your opinions–maybe we can save ourselves yet
gene says: another jealous rant. what country on the face of the earth wouldn’t want the olympics? mrs. o is a great first lady too.
Andrew says: Let me get this straight:
Olympics=Bad….War=Good….Diplomacy=Bad….Isolationism=Good…Health Care=Bad….Corporate Welfare=Good…..Being Educated=Bad….Narrow minded Christian Redneck=Good……
Truly Clueless!!!!!!!
kate said: sorry andrew. not sure why your comment(s) went to spam except maybe it didn’t like the punctuation. i deleted the duplicate one. 🙂
Toma says: Michelle is relevant how and to what? Chicago is circling the drain along with Detriot, NYC, DC, LA and several other union, ACORN, Democrat, Mob infested cesspools. Let ’em flush.
Copenhagen, comes in a little round can.
Toma
“what country on the face of the earth wouldn’t want the olympics?”
One that cant afford it, one where its not a top priority, one where the guys are dying in Afghanistan because of lack of support, one where its going to take place in the murder capital of the country along with the most crooked politicians anywhere all wrapped up in one
lisab says: chewbacca is not that popular.
Yet one more reason American’s are angry with their government. ( http://www.conservativeblog.thewebinfocenter.com/conservative-blog/three-reasons-america-is-angry Who makes these choices?
With Chitown beset by gang violence, a couple generations of political corruption and a failing local economy, why not show it off to the world as a showpiece of leftist leadership and enterprise?
You know, Michelle Obama has sacrificed a lot over the years. She had to accept a $100,000 salary increase when Barack won the Senate. And, the effort it must have taken in her Chicago patient dumping scheme must have taken a toll on her so much that she needed to buy $500 dollar shoes inorder to work one day in a soup kitchen for a photo op. Yeah, poor Michelle, the agony and the misery. How does she do it…I’m so glad she has Oprah.
James Scott says: What exactly are oboma’s finest character traits and presidental accomplishments? Can provide a legal size pad if necessary for all those on the same recreational drugs oboma has been on most of his adult life.
