I'm worried about Obama's ability to govern effectively after the olympics vote

[Cali_Democrat]

I'm very concerned.

Talk me down please.

[phleshdef]

1. Just another example of how Obama just can't SEAL THE DEAL!!!

[closeupready]

2. OMG - would you SHUSH?!

:rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

15. Or produce a birth certificate!

[Raven]

3. Take courage from the fact that he had the courage to go out on

a limb for Chicago and this country. He's a strong man, he'll do fine. The Olympics is a blip.

[xultar]

4. I need a bucket of water, some rope, and rubber gloves that go up to the shoulder..

I'll be able to help you as soon as I get my supplies.

[JuniperLea]

8. Yet another fine example...

Of why we should be able to req a post!

:rofl:

I had visions of grandpa on the farm... oh, the stories! I thought he was kidding until I heard someone else talk of this horrid chore!

:rofl:

Oh dear... this vision is indelible I fear!

:rofl:

[skipos]

5. WE'RE DOOOOOOOOMED! DOOO OOO OOO OOOOOOO

OOOOO OOOOOMED!

[rubberducky]

6. What the hell have you been ingesting?????

[Xipe Totec]

11. Irony enriched news feed n/t

[TheWraith]

7. In two weeks, nobody is going to give a shit about the Olympics vote except the wingnuts.

Hell, that'll probably be true in under a week.

[thunder rising]

21. In 2016 the Republicans are going be reintroduced to videos of the celebrations ..not good

[AndyA]

9. The Olympics was probably the BIGGEST thing he needed to do during his

first term, and he couldn't do it. He just doesn't have what it takes.

:sarcasm:

:rofl: for those who need the :sarcasm: thing...

[vaberella]

10. Tell me this is sarcasm...PLEASE!!! n/t

[Cali_Democrat]

16. of course it is

I'm in a silly mood today :)

[Cha]

18. I thought it was..it had to be. But, you

had me thinking for a second of all the links I would provide that would clue you in to this not being a "STUNNING FAILURE!". :o Ya:think:

[Cali_Democrat]

23. Are you referring to the article I posted a few days ago?

The only reason why I posted that was because I thought it was one of the worst articles ever written, as if presidents are to be judged on whether or not they can bring the olympics to the USA.

I spit my coffee up when I read that.

I wanted DUers to weigh in on it.

:hi:

[Cha]

25. No, but I'm rememberingish now..

No, I was refering to Rachel's Video on Obama's so called "failure".

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x382814

And PO's take on so called "failure"..

"That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. J.K. Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed."

These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.

No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work......You've got to practice.

And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best."

The only failure is not trying to get jobs for your Country.:)

[Jennicut]

12. OMG! We are doomed. Sad thing is, some here might actually believe that.

[bikesein]

13. I Feel the Same Way

I heard a rumor that the Super Bowl was going to be in Argentina in 2011?!?! :(

[Hamlette]

14. this is a joke, right?

no one in the "real" world gives a crap.

[phleshdef]

19. duh

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

17. THIS PROVES IT!!!! OBAMA IS NOT.......

.... THE ANTI-CHRIST!


LOL!


I mean after all, wouldn't the 'anti-christ' have the whole world at his feet?

Surely NOT Obama after all!

The poor wingnuts will have to throw away all those vid-clips and signs!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

24. He could still be the Antichrist's less competent brother Jerry. nt

[phleshdef]

26. Eh hem. I think he prefers "Jarack", have some consideration why dontcha?

[Aramchek]

20. why would we waste our time?

[lamp_shade]

22. Oh for the lo...... never mind

[damntexdem]

27. Well, I think he still has a shot at the silver medal.

;-)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

28. Damn you!

For a second there you almost had me holding my head and moaning in pain. :P

[PurityOfEssence]

29. It's over

I especially like the fact that you didn't point out that this is sarcasm.

I'm totally with you: it's a great big "So what?" that he took a shot and it didn't work. Big damned deal. There's nothing wrong with lobbying the powers that be, and there's no shame in not getting one's way. He was being a good CEO and booster; so what that they had other plans.

[CakeGrrl]

30. He's FINISHED! This is HUGH! OMGGGGGGGGG!!!!111!!!!!!

I'm assuming I was supposed to detect the implicit sarcasm tag.

[Canuckistanian]

31. Damn. Now he won't be able to effectively institute Socialism

And he won't have the political capital to start those "FEMA" concentration camps.

Face it, comrades. We're foiled AGAIN.

[backscatter712]

32. Your concern is noted.

:evilgrin:

[Cha]

33. You have to see this!.. from Redstate Update~

[Arkana]

34. You forgot the sarcasm tag, brah.

[MadMaddie]

35. It's really easy - The US Visa policy

No country wanted to deal with the hassle of the extreme Visa policy that the * admin put in place. Hell half the athletes and many tourist simply wouldn't be able to enter the country.

On another note it's the first time an Olympics has been held on that continent.

[Pirate Smile]

36. LOL - however, will he and we survive.

;)

[Moochy]

37. Get down from that ledge!

Jump! Jump! jump! its only 2 feet.
