I've Got 3 Minutes

Three minutes to blog and what do I want to say?  That BO needs to be as tough with Ahmadinejad as Michelle is going to be with the IOC.

“The gloves are off!”

That's the quote.  She's going to Copenhagen to lobby for Chi-town and it's going to be a beat down bare-knuckles brawl.  Or, maybe she'll do it the Chicago way:  just find enough dead IOC members to vote and you can win anything.

In related news, Barry is also going.  The betting is that he already knows Chicago is in the bag, otherwise he wouldn't risk the extreme humiliation that would ensue if, say, Rio were chosen.  The aura would certainly never recover.

As Steve Hayes says, the "optics" on this are bad.  Two weeks ago, he wasn't going to Copenhagen because Healthcare Reform was too important.  Healthcare Reform has indeed sucked the presidential oxygen out of every other issue, including the extremely, dangerously pressing issues of Afghanistan and Iran.  But, off we go to the land of the Little Mermaid and creamed herring.

Is it true that Dave Letterman has had more face time with Barack Obama than General Stanley McChrystal?  Why, I believe it is.

Guilty pleasure fantasy of the day: Michelle Obama locked in a room with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for three  days.  I wonder how the woman-beater would fare without a cadre of hooded thugs with sticks.  None to well, I expect.

Mayhap Dear Leader has decided to stick to subjects in which he has some small competence.

I suspect the IOC is pretty much a corrupt organization. They will fit right in with the Chicago crowd. Daley, Stroger, and all the rest of the Cook County crooks.
