…to meet with McChrystal; all he has to do is stop off in London, according to a RedState post today.

President Obama, maybe you could talk to your general while you are in Europe

But no, Obama’s priorities are domestic politics and paying off his political allies. Who cares about foreign policy when you’re angling to be President for Life.

Glad to see that someone got out ahead of this, and in a prominent place:

“Mr. Obama could show he understands this if he uses his trip to Denmark this week (where he will serve as pitchman for Chicago to get the 2016 Olympics) to make a surprise visit to Afghanistan.”

Man, do they hate Glenn Beck. Is this even ethical?

Of course the answer is NO! All but the most Politically Brain-dead see this for what it is, but unfortunately there are so darn many Politically Brain-dead folks in the US these days. For the first time in my Life, I am DISGUSTED by such a large portion of my fellow Americans! I have been among many for decades tossing the concept of bringing the Olympics to DETROIT -- plenty of worthless empty land to put it on here!!! Unfortunately it would be just another State/Federal DETROIT BAILOUT that would be turned into such a fiasco and LIBERAL FAILURE that has kept anything but a minor Dream.... Further, many of us would like to see the first DUAL CITY DUAL COUNTRY HOSTING with part a joint/cooperation bid of DETROIT MICHIGAN USA AND WINDSOR ONTARIO CANADA hosting an International Olympics with venues on both sides of the Detroit River in both Countries and an Olympic Torch anchored in the River between the 2 Cities/Nations. Could you imagine if ANY TEXAS city were in contention?!?!? Obama would be lobbying for RIO to get it then!!!

- in the anything/everything is ONLY about him mind-set – it is all about allowing Chicago to CELEBRATE OBAMA on the conclusion of his 2nd Term he thinks he is automatically entitled and pre-ordained to having!!! They’ll then want to build the Obama Presidential Library somewhere on those grounds encompassing part of the Olympic buildings as future reminders to everyone it was OBAMA that brought them there!

were my first thoughts also… aren’t there more places we can think of and suggest he go to? Now, now, now, I mean places on Earth lol…. If he did go to Afghanistan, it would be to meet with BIN LADEN to discuss our surrender (Surrender Doctrine) – so I’d rather he NOT go there!

There is no way Obama is going to take a page out of the playbook of the man he is still baliming for all of his problems.

Well, maybe one page; I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama flew triumphantly into O’Hare to proclaim victory before an adoring home crowd. Let’s just hope there are some unNEA-funded guerrilla artists there to hang up a “Mission Accomplished” banner for him. And don’t expect the MSM to carp about how the hard work of preparing for the Olympics has just begun, and this was just an inappropriate propaganda ploy blah, blah, blah…
