Quotes of the day
posted at 9:48 pm on October 3, 2009 by Allahpundit
“‘The intelligence that we had from the U.S. Olympic Committee and Chicago bid team was that it was very close and therefore well worth our efforts,’ said Valerie Jarrett, a senior White House advisor. ‘The message was that … a personal appeal from the president would make a huge difference.’”
***
“To hear Obama insiders discuss it, the president was just too competitive not to make the trip. ‘Whether we tried or not, we owned it,’ said one senior White House aide. ‘But you know how competitive he is. If we got a shot, he wanted to take it. The Chicago folks definitely made it known that they wanted him to come. But the decision was his. He felt if he could go and make the case and promote the country and Chicago, he was going to do it.’…
Within a week, that position was beginning to change as Mayor Daley pressed his case for a presidential pitch, which would put the country’s leader alongside his global counterparts. But according to White House officials, there were two factors even more important than the influence of Daley: the White House was already engaged, and the president himself liked the sporting challenge.”
***
“Arrogance. Good ol’ American arrogance.
Instead of dedicating three days and nights working the IOC members, as we hear Tony Blair did for London in its successful bid for 2012, President Obama figured all he had to do was show up for a few minutes here at Bella Center after an all-night flight on Air Force One.
He had normally blasé media types pressing their noses against the windows of this sleek convention center just to get a glimpse of him stepping into his flown-in Cadillac. His very presence shook down the tight schedule the IOC usually likes to keep. His very name peppered the cacophony of unfamiliar languages all over town with little hints of recognition.
But Obama was long gone by the time his ripple factor had flattened out.”
***
“Here’s what I would like to talk about in all this: The First Lady and her husband made terrible presentations to the IOC! In retrospect, it makes complete sense that they got the boot in Round 1.”

Hmm how about if Palin makes a push for Anchorage,Alaska for the next available winter Olympics?Or is Alaska just too far from everything to even be remotely possible?

Seven Percent Solution on October 3, 2009 at 9:53 PM
I have two things to say about this Olympic fiasco:
1) The Precedent is a stupid dork. Period.
2) It is un-American for the federal government to be treating the US as a team to compete in this pathetic gloablist Olympics. We are individualists and the tradition of the US has been to let cities and states do whatever lobbying they want to do for the olympics, but the fedearl government never moves on something so inconsequential, and certainly not the White House, personally.
This whole pathetic scene was so un-American, from start to finish, that only an Indonesian dork could even think of doing it.
progressoverpeace on October 3, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Odumbass wouldn’t know competition if he it slapped his fugly ass wife in the snoot.
He has been handed everything in his life.
Typical dimocrap. They would rather climb a tree to tell a lie, than stand flat footed and tell the truth.
I hope they all rot in hell.

OldEnglish on October 3, 2009 at 9:58 PM
All afternoon CNN was having special programs on crime in Chicago in an attempt, subtly of course, to take the heat off the arrogant one and blame the loss of the Olympics on Chicago teen age crime. Now they are all under the bus.
I was in a bar and couldn’t avoid it. Their sudden interest in teen crime in Chicago was rather disgusting.
Dhuka on October 3, 2009 at 9:58 PM
The “sacrifice” part of Mrs. Obama’s speech sounded wrong the minute she said it. Regardless of how many times a country host’s the Olympics it should be treated as an honor. These folks are tone deaf. I would have liked the U.S. to win but I have to admit that it didn’t bother me to see the President get rebuffed. But I am sure he has already rationalized it and moved on, that ego knows no bounds.

Are we sure the America haters (Obamas, Jarrett, Oprah) didn’t sabotage it all on purpose? I mean, the effort was minimal at best.
SouthernGent on October 3, 2009 at 10:04 PM
The fact that she spoke of SACRIFICE when we have actual men and women sacrificing their LIVES on the ground in Afghanistan, Iraq…. was so freakin’ pathetic.
Even a foreigner who hates the USofA could understand that.
And they said GWBush was arrogant?!!!?!?!!!!!
bridgetown on October 3, 2009 at 10:04 PM
affirmative action in action = no preparation, no research, no rationale….just fly by the seat of their pants, fully expecting to win, with zero effort. B/c that is how it’s been for them THEIR WHOLE LIVES. sacrifice my ASS.

Flown in Cadillac? Flown in from where?? Guess since he’s head of GM now that the Government owns it he wants to promote his brand. Sheesh. I’m assuming that we, the taxpayers footed that bill? Ridiculous.
SouthernPatriot on October 3, 2009 at 10:05 PM
I think it is safe to say that the Obama’s don’t “get it”.
Why does that please me a bit?
Cindy Munford on October 3, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I don’t know if this is how it went down but here is a good scenario…
There were so many people close to the president and first lady that would have made a lot of money if Chicago got the Olympics… those people could have been fed bad info and they could have put a lot of pressure on Obama… plus he wanted to get out of town during the bad jobs figures, etc… Axelrod should have been smarter than this… from a PR standpoint, he should have had the Obama-McCrystal meeting the main focal point…

Got a message from my son who’s over in Munich for Oktoberfest. The German’s are laughing too.
Knucklehead on October 3, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Exactly. The natural world is about to close in on the US. We have been left exposed and undefended – on purpose by the moron left and their imbecilic Precedent – and the animals of the world are just assessing the situation before they come in to start feeding on us. And what they will do to the rest of the world, that we used to maintain order for … whoa, boy. The US has been put in a position like the characters of the movie, “Open Water”. It’s only a matter of time before nature goes for the kill.
Frankly, I couldn’t care less if people are laughing at us – I don’t really care what they think – but it is what the thoughts in the Kremlin and the halls of power in Beijing and the arab/persian/muslim world that concern me. They are licking their lips trying to figure out which parts of the world they want. It will be ugly.
progressoverpeace on October 3, 2009 at 10:25 PM
I tend to think he is killing his own reputation and cause. If the IOC see through him, that may suggest the rest of the world sees through him. The world also understands “America” better than our own President.
It may be much the same way we saw the Iranian people separate from their leaders last summer.
America will suffer the effects of this man, but Americans will remain stronger than ever before!

They’re not just tone deaf. Of all the people I’ve ever known, some very smart and accomplished and powerful, I’ve never witnessed such egotism or narcissism as with these two, and so undeserved at that.
In fact, they’ve redifined the terms… for all time.

As the Liberals were in such a hurry,to have a two year
Senator,make political history,as the first African
American as President,even tho to some,it was Bill
Clinton,this isn’t going to look to pretty on Obama’s
legacy!!
I can just see Obama’s Presidential Library,the Olympic
Games section,blank and empty,with a large neon sign,lit
up as ‘Failure’,but it wasn’t Barracks fault,it was from
the eight years that poisoned the world,or such stupid and
incoherent ramblings of excuses from Team Liberal!!
canopfor on October 3, 2009 at 10:30 PM

It is too bad because is obviously is very smart
CWforFreedom on October 3, 2009 at 10:31 PM
So, as many of us suspected Pinnochio’s strings were pulled by Daley, the guy who began looking for and grooming a President the day he lost the Florida 2000 recount. Anyone remember Daley callin Al Gore in his limo and telling him to unconcede, that they count count a few dead people, a couple hangin chads, reject the military ballots and win this thing yet?
Second paragraph illustrates Pinnochio’s inability to take a decision.
Pinnochio’s puppet masters cannot be happy at his inability to deliver the payoff to the Chicago crime syndicate and the mob rewards serious misdeeds with serious consequences.
Stay away from grassy knolls Pinnochio!
dhunter on October 3, 2009 at 10:31 PM
That’s a persuasive psychology of the Obamas’ way of thinking.

When Bozo Obama comes home with egg on his face
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We’ll give him a Big Bronx cheer
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The Hotair men will yell and shout
The Hotair ladies they will all turn out
And Obama’s Presidency will be as good as dead by Christmas time next year!
Rush Limbaugh’s radio will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To give a special welcome back to the empty headed and empty handed bozo boy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The Hotair lads and lassies say
With dripping sarcasm we will strew his way,
And Obama’s Presidency will be as good as dead by Christmas time next year!
Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We’ll reveal Zero for all the world to see
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The dunce cap is ready now
To place upon his narcissistic brow
And Obama’s Presidency will be as good as dead by Christmas time next year!
Cheshire Cat on October 3, 2009 at 10:32 PM
So that’s the line now? Ogabe is an insatiable competitor and that’s why he risked the credibility of the office of the President of the United States on this?
Well then …
Perhaps he should have made a legitimate appeal. For such a competitor – his game sucks. He gave a speech about “Me! Me! Me!” and I don’t agree with the Olympic Committee much – but in this case they were right to kick him right in the arse and send him on his way.
He wanted to do this for the U.S.?
He has a funny way of demonstrating that.
HondaV65 on October 3, 2009 at 10:33 PM

Caper29 on October 3, 2009 at 10:33 PM
Standard operating procedure for all US presidents. The presidential limo is flown to his destinations. It’s about safety and a very [rightfully] paranoid Secret Service. They know the pedigree of that vehicle and who has touched it from day one. It’s just a safety precaution.
Yeah, whenever the President goes anywhere, it’s not just Air Force One, it’s a friggin’ deployment of multiple jets and cargo planes. Now *that* was the real story as far as waste of taxpayer resources for this fiasco.
AZfederalist on October 3, 2009 at 10:33 PM

“International Committee Rejects Obama’s Personal Pitch that His Large Ego Be Site of 2016 Olympics” http://optoons.blogspot.com/2009/10/obamas-personal-pitch-that-his-ego-be.html
Mervis Winter on October 3, 2009 at 10:58 PM
I wondered how much The President and his Wife hurt our chances…
Now we know.
Whoever thought this was a good idea should be tarred and feathered. President Obama just proved a naive narcisst is in charge of America. Think how that plays in Iran, with the Taliban and Russia.
Hell how does it play in Israel.
I sense a scary few months PRAY.
Gracelynn on October 3, 2009 at 10:58 PM
And what about BHO’s comments afterward? They are just so asinine!
“I believe it’s always a worthwhile endeavor to promote and boost the United States of America and invite the world to come see what we’re all about,” Mr. Obama said upon returning to Washington Friday. “And we obviously would have been eager to host these Games, but…this nation and our athletes are still very much excited to compete in 2016.”
“Promote and boost the U.S.?” Every one knows that all Hussein has done in the last 9 months is apologize for America. He has done NOTHING for the U.S. and everything to promote himself. “For the world to see what we are about???” Really??? As if the world doesn’t know what we are about? Is this because we are about something else now, or is he just such an egotistical idiot that he thinks the world didn’t know about us until The One became president? “This nation and our athletes are still very much excited to compete in 2016?” Are you kidding me? Why wouldn’t athletes be excited to compete? Because Hussein won’t be opening the ceremonies?
For someone who is supposed to be such an inspiring and brilliant orator, this whole statement is just stupid! And the academia elites question Sarah Palin’s intellect!
