This past week President Obama went to Copenhagen and made his pitch for the 2016 Summer games. hmmmmmmmmm Why? Why did he go? No other president has done this. Why did he feel compelled to? OHHHH I know he's from Chicago. Yah and? Does that mean he the president for the people of Chicago? No idea. I'm not even going to get in to the theories that I ahve been reading.
I read his speach he gave in Copenhagen. It was a love fest of, from and to his self. "My sacrifices, the bold new age that came to pass when I was elected. "
The IOC voted Chicago out in the first round. No idea why but I do have some ideas. No I won't get in to them. Am I gloating? You bet. One of the stands that Obama ran his election on was if he were to be elected the entire world would "love" us again. I call bullshit then and I still do. This only proves my point. the people who in fact like us I can break down in to 3 catagories
1) They see the sacrifices Americans have made through out our history to promote and defend freedom. Take Germany and WWII as a good example. After WWII The US could have made Germany a state. But CHOSE not to. Instead th US loaned Germany a boat load of money, which has been paid back including intrest, and built a modern country. They did so ver well. They also chose thier own form of government. there are many other examples but I think you get the idea
2) People who have benifited form America's sacrifice. I have been to Normandy a few times. I love going there and feeling the history. D-Day being one of America's hardest sacrifices has turned in to a day, for people in the area to be a day to be thankful. There is a woman that lives there. She was a little girl, her words, during the invasion. She grows flowers in her garden. Those flowers she picks and places a flower on the grave of every soldier buried there. American, French, English or Canadian. She never mentioned the Germans and I never asked her. She has thanked every D-Day veteran that has visited the sights. She opens her home to the men. She thanked me the time I met her for my service to my country and to the people of the world. I was in tears.
3) People paying lip service to a good thing. Examples are many but I'll stick to one. Saudi Arabia. It was American technology that found and pumped oil out of the ground in Saudi. It was Americans who provided the means in which the people there could make tons of money. Then turn around and try to blackmale the world in to paying more for oil then what it's worth AND worse yet sponsering terrorism. But Gosh steffen they sure love thier freedom! Really? Have you been there? I have. A country where a goat has more rights than a woman. Yes thats right a man could go to jail for killing a goat but be praised as a hero for killing a woman. Where a woman can't drive vote or even show her face in public. Freedom? None there.
Obama never really understood that the world is a complicated place. If the world hated the US so bad why are millions of people a year trying to get in to the US to live and work? Legally and illegally. I have been living here in Germany since 1994. I have only one time wittnessed any kind of hatred. It was a student with a big mouth and no grasp of facts. He also made my daughter cry and got a slap from me for that. I have seen Germans bend over backwards to make American tourists feel welcome and to help them. I saw the same in Spain and Turkey. So Mr. Obama why would the world suddendly change becasue you are president? Are you really that arrogant? I now think so.
Back to topic. Why did I think that the summer games would not be such a hot idea for Chicago? Money. Simple and easy. You see Chicago is just about broke. They would not have been able to afford to build all the shiney new building needed. they would have had to take a few loans. But from where? The state is broke. The federal government is damn near broke. So where to get the money. Not from a bank as the return for hosting the games, well sucks. As seen in the last 3 cities that hosted the games they lost millions. Notice lost not being a good thing. They are stuck with the bill. Peking is tying to come up with ways to rent out all the buildings. Funny eh? I don't think so.
I love the summer games. It's a chance for athletes to shine. they work damn hard training and it's thier time to prove thier hard work. But as seen in many games in the past they have turned in to a political theater. No longer being about the sports or the athletes. Well I wouldn't care if the games were done away with. Not really my problem. But as long as we have then I will continue to enjoy them.

ummmmmm yah about that
I found this during my travels across the net. It troubles me. It really does. http://redmaryland.blogspot.com/2009/09/obama-worship-comes-to-howard-county.html
This is the third such happenence in the last few weeks. Elementry kids singing praises to Obama. I can hear my girlfriend asking me "yah and? Whats's the problem with kids singing about Obama?"
Well dear is it rather simple and here's why:
We had 8 years of the left in America ranting and slobbering about how they were afraid of people doing the same for Bush. Now that we have Obama is't all OK.
These are elementry school kids ages 5 to 13. They are easy to form. They can be swung from one side to the next easy as setting up yer own blog. Using kids to push a political agenda is sick and disgusting. These kids are now a shield against retort, dissent and open discussion. As soon as someone speaks up against Obama that person will be asked about "the children" and asked why he "hates the children" The left is well known for this tactic and have used it in the mast many many times.
Teachers are supposed to teach kids to think freely and prepare them for getting out on thier own. This does the oppisite. Indoctronating children does not teach them the 3 R's. Apolitical agenda will not help them get a good job nor prepare them for striking out on thier own.
Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Chavez, Castro, Che, Lenin and som many other brutal dicators did the same. They all used children for thier own agenda and in most cases kids were tought to turn in thier parents for speaking out against the party. Now I don't think it will come to this in America but it has all started with kids being forced to sing praises to the "Dear Leader"
Having said all the above, and I believe it, I don't think Obama is personally at fault here. I am sure he knows what is going on but I don't think he has ordered it. B U T He is aware of it and he is not denouncing it. The exact same as supporting it. If he was half as honest as he claims he would say something along these lines:
"I have seen the videos and heard the songs. They are good and I thank the children for thier praise. I am but one man. I do not deserve these high praises. Our soldiers, firemen, doctors, nurses, EMT's derserve them......
But he won't. As we saw this week in Copenhagen it's all about him. The sacrifices he makes and how hard he is working to change and how wonderful it is to be him. No he won't say a word against it. Thats makes him incredibly vain and arrogant.
I'll be writing about the 2016 Chicago bid next.....This one was funny.
