Chick Chat: Chicago Rejected. Are Obama's magical powers & savior streangth super magnetism wear off internationally?

Since most of our society focuses on social events as major and monumental news so will I. The 2016 Olympics has gone to Rio!!! How exciting that for the first time a South American country is being visited by the Olympic flame. I am truly excited for them and was rooting the whole time for thier victory.

NOW. Chicago, tisk tisk, 4th out of 4! What does that really say about the shenanigans of Chicago politics and the American's display. Despite the revered Double O's, Obamas and Oprah, visit to Copenhagen, Chicago was eliminated the very FIRST ROUND!!! That's pitiful, but I am almost happy that this happened. Did I hear a why in between the outcries of racist and terrorist?

Well, here is why. The world has for a long time hated the arrogance of the United States and Obama has made sure to apologize for that (and Bush) every time he has had the opportunity. Obama claimed to be the change that the world wanted. He thought he was going to be this big unifier that was going to save the economy, health care, make peace with Iran, fix immigration, fix whatever it is was wrong with the country and ultimately the world. Funny, how in the few short months of his presidency the world has started to see what a large percentage of Americans have been fighting against for months. A lying piece of a...rrogance that has swindled his way into a position of power!

They, aka the world, are loosing respect for him!! The Middle East is walking all over him with the nuclear plants, France is having to reprimand his actions and now he is not even getting any special treatment with the IOC. His presence wasn't even a drop in the Olympic size swimming pool.

Obama's political capital is dwindling faster than this countries liberties. So while Obama waltzed into Copenhagen expecting it to close the deal, his brief stay, his arrogant confidence was probably a factor in the U.S' lost bid. Even "former IOC member Kai Holm said that the brevity of his appearance may have counted against him. The short stopover was 'too business-like,' Holm said. 'It can be that some IOC members see it as a lack of respect.'" And while Obama once called for 'A New World Order' while in Europe, I hope, for this country and the worlds, that this is a small signal of the response he would get with a statement like that now.
