Ranting about him 'losing' the freaking Olympics is beyond ridiculous at every level.

Actually not. Some of the Olympic committee members themselves, after the award, said they were influenced negatively by his refusal to go when invited originally, then going as if that would be a celebrity moment when the appearance was as if the US would get it. The betting money was on Chicago before the visit.

Nothing like a little cya for the fans, eh?

Like ONE GUY is gonna influence a decision like that, even the POTUS. Very doubtful HE looked at it as a 'celebrity moment' - more likely he finally caved to the Chicago pressure, try-to-help etc. But, spin it any way you want if it makes you feel better.

It's all just politics, especially when the olympics is concerned. To try and blame this on him is just wingnut bullsh!t.

I don't just blame him, I place equal blame on his accomplices, Oprah and Michelle. ;)

Wingnut bullchit????? You know damn well that if Chicago would have been awarded the Olympics that he would have gotten credit. Another "historic" moment. :rolleyes:

You live in a strange world. Here's a view that is a bit more 'reality-based'.

[Reagan] is remembered as the so-called "Great Communicator," but that's after the economy picked up late in his first term and he won a landslide victory over Walter Mondale. However, Reagan was not always viewed that way -- he suffered through a recession early in his term that damaged his political standing (his approval trajectory was very similar to Obama's). The political scientist Jonathan Bernstein reviewed press accounts of Reagan from January 1982, and concluded that "Reagan's manner [was portrayed as moving] from amiable and clear on the big picture to clueless and oblivious to the important details of governing -- and indifferent to suffering -- when things were going bad."

The larger point is, as Bernstein notes, that "character traits are perceived by the press in light of how the president is doing in the polls and in Washington, not the other way around." In other words, the perception that Obama isn't "connecting" is a symptom of his declining political status, not the cause.

Here's a real average of the major polls. Bush "W" did set a record, almost......


Sources: Gallup, AP, WSJ.com research

NOTES: Plotted points are the averages of all approval polls taken by Gallup in each three-month period of each presidency. The first two points for Johnson and Ford are for polls taken in their first two months. Key dates are marked next to the poll results for the three-month period in which they took place

Hey where did you come from? If Jay is going to dish it out, he's gonna have to get a little bit back. Calling people names doesn't help his cause. ;) :)

:kiss:

I know and he knows too.:)

I dont think there is a cause. Its all good stuff.
I didnt see Steve admit that he'd jump in and save us though if we were drowning. But I'm sure he would.

Go to it guys . This joint is full of great characters and I would sooner hang with guys that were passionate about something than some no minds.

Just please keep people from bragging about beating their dog with a club and I'll be cool.:USA::USA::USA::USA:
