Epstein is right - glad you quoted him. It is strange that the flag waving, "patriotic" GOP-types were happy to see an AMERICAN city lose the Olympics to a country run by an anti-Western leftists because they associate Chicago with a man they dislike. Leftists, of course, engaged in the same kind of hypocrisy during Bush's reign.

Both sides care more about their party than their country. It's as simple as that.

It's not about losing the Olympic bid. Rather, it's about wasting tax dollars making the trip. If Obama had so much faith in his public image, he could've just made a phone call.

Well, but when Bush spent - how much? - having an AF pilot land him on an aircraft carrier with the "Mission Accomplished" speech, how many neocons wrote editorials decrying the waste of money? Had Bush gone to Denmark and been denied the Olympics, the same people critiquing Obama (whom I loathe, btw) would have written essays calling the Olympic Committee anti-American. The above commenter is right: they care more about their little party than the nation.

No, rather those critics would not have been at all surprised considering much of the world's perception of Bush and the U.S.
It's one thing to deliver an address to american troops (which is the Commander in Chief's duty) and quite another doing a mob-like favor to petition the Olympics be hosted in your home city.

I am more convinced than ever that at some point I stepped through a worm hole & entered bizzaro world. None of these things add up.

"Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -Mark twain
