Obama’s Apology Speech to the IOC for Chicago Corruption and America’s History of Unsportsmanship-like Conduct

Here we go again:

“One of the most important legacies I would like to see Chicago leave in hosting the 2016 Games would be to show America at its best,” he said.

“That the USA is open to the world and to that end I have directed the full force of the White House and the State Department behind it. I want people to come away with the impression that America is an open and diverse society.

“Over the past few years the fundamental truth of the United States has been lost.

“The Olympic Games could restore it.”

Yeah, sure.

Open and diverse society? What happened to all the racists? Perhaps he intends to pull Daley’s street bum trick and disappear them, kinda like when Michelle got rid of the poor patients they didn’t want at University, they just sent the ambulances away.

Can this idiot give a speech overseas without apologizing. If he doesn’t like America why not move to Africa where he would be more comfortable. If he can’t do better then this, we should take Air Force One away from him.

I really hope the Games go to Rio. South America has never held them AND I would love to see obama with egg on his face and Valerie Jarrett NOT making all those millions through corrupt deals.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face? Chicago is broke, take a peak at what other host cities lost:

How long will it be before the Obamas will start saying the Olympic Committee made this decision because they are racists?

@Blast: As Davey iterates it, it does come across as a bit of groveling with a slam-on-America-style remark.

And I think that over the last several years sometimes that fundamental truth about the United States has been lost.

Why does he think this, blast? It’s like a fabricated platitude. It’s been “lost” that Chicago and America is diverse over “the last few years” (re: Bush years)?! How does this reasoning inspire the IOC to want to host the Olympics in Chicago? Tugging on their heart-strings, begging them to help us make Americans feel better about themselves and wanting a chance to prove to the world that they can love us if they know us?

Good Lord, someone hand me my violin:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (CNN) — After flying through the night for seven hours aboard Air Force One, nobody would blame President Obama for being at least slightly groggy when he arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark, for a quick four hours to make the final pitch for Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics.

Maybe that explains why the president seemed to snag the silver medal while first lady Michelle Obama, who’s been in Copenhagen a couple of days, clearly took the gold with an emotional speech focused on her family’s roots in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and her late father’s battle with multiple sclerosis.

“Sports were a gift I shared with my dad, especially the Olympic Games,” Obama said in her portion of the U.S. delegation’s final presentation to the International Olympic Committee. “Some of my best memories are sitting on my dad’s lap, cheering on Olga and Nadia, Carl Lewis and others for their brilliance and perfection.

“But I never dreamed that the Olympic flame might one day light up lives in my neighborhood,” she said. “But today, I can dream, and I am dreaming of an Olympic and Paralympic Games in Chicago that will light up lives in neighborhoods all across America and all across the world.”

The mention of the Paralympic Games was significant because a good bit of Obama’s speech tugged at the heartstrings by focusing on how her father was diagnosed with MS in his early 30s, leaving him nearly unable to walk. She spoke in a halting voice about how he kept getting sicker but still taught her how to play sports while propping himself up on crutches.

“My dad was my hero. And when I think of what these games could mean to people all over the world, I think of people like my dad, who face seemingly insurmountable challenges, but they never give up.”

I promised…..I wouldn’t cry!
