Arriving here after an all-night flight, Mr. Obama swept into a convention hall in the Danish capital, took the lectern and appealed to the International Olympic Committee to choose “that most American of American cities,” the same place that put him on the path to becoming the world’s preeminent leader.
And the president summoned the spirit of his election, reminding them of the emotional crowds in Grant Park celebrating his victory last fall and effectively inviting the rest of the world to validate it by sending him the Games. There ya go folks. He wants validation from the world!!
“Nearly one year ago, on a clear November night, people from every corner of the world ??? gathered in the city of Chicago or in front of their televisions to watch the results of the U.S. presidential election,” Mr. Obama told the committee. “Their interest wasn’t about me as an individual. Ah shucks Barry - you don't really mean that. Rather, it was rooted in the belief that America’s experiment in democracy still speaks to a set of universal aspirations and ideals.”
At one point, responding to questions from the committee, he touted the diverse nature of Chicago’s population. “We’ve got everybody,” he said. “This could be a meeting in Chicago because we look like the world.” Well, Mr. President, your crumbling public housing certainly bears a striking resemblance to some areas of the Sudan.
“You see, growing up, my family moved around a lot,” he said. “I grew up in Hawaii, I lived in Indonesia for a time. I never really had roots in any one place or culture or ethnic group. Seeing as how this is just a repeat of everything you've ever said, why didn't you just send a recording and save the taxpayers a sh*tload of money??
Then I came to Chicago. Queue the violins And on those very mean Chicago streets, I worked alongside men and women who were black and white, Latino and Asian, people of every class and nationality and religion.” Most of whom were communists and dragged you into their folds recognizing immediately what a great puppet you'd make.
“In 2016, I’ll be wrapping up my second term as president,” Not if we can help it he told a rally in Chicago in June 2008. “So I can’t think of a better way than to be marching into Washington Park ... as president of the United States and announcing to the world: Let the Games begin!” I can't even think of anything to say anymore. The gall of this man takes your breath away.
And while Obama spends untold millions of dollars to fly to Copenhagen:

Yep, the man feels he has a lot to be modest about.
Well, considering that he is the One, what else should we expect?
Well, since he can't usher in the 2016 Olympics in Chicago, he can always announce the 2014 Gay Games in Cleveland.
Oh. Wait. That would mean he would still be president. Ah, never mind then....
Larry - he missed his chance to open the Folsom Street freak show in San Fran last week...
What a shame!
