The Middle East is literally on the razor’s edge of exploding.
The USA is on a tightening spiral towards complete financial and social collapse (and if that happens, a quite possible civil and/or race war).

So of course, POTUS and the missus with his political posse head to Copenhagen in order to demand that Chicago be given the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Today, the White House announced that President Barack Obama will travel to Copenhagen, Denmark to support Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games at the 121st International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session. On Friday, October 2nd, IOC members will elect the host city for the 2016 Summer Games.

President Obama will join First Lady Michelle Obama, who will be leading the United States delegation to Copenhagen. Mrs. Obama will arrive in Copenhagen on Wednesday, September 30, along with Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama and head of the White House Office on Olympic, Paralympic and Youth Sport.

This from Byron York at The Washington Examiner:

“And it’s not just the president and the first lady. Indeed, a significant part of the Obama administration — the group includes top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood — is also heading to Copenhagen to make the pitch for Chicago.”

I guess we can all file this under the heading of: “What Else Did You Expect From These Folks ?”

I can see it now………..

2016 Summer Olympics – Chicago Illinois USA………… Listing of events:

1.  Opening Ceremonies……… Invocation by Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Min. Louis Farakhan………….

2.  The Under-The-Bus Biathalon………. The first part of the event pits former and about-to-be former operatives staff members of the communist party the administration in a contest testing speed and agility in avoidance of standard city buses within a 1-square-block area of downtown Chicago.  The latter half involves technical automobile knowledge….. A timed contest with competitors checking for and removing various items placed within their own automobiles and/or repairing ‘problems’.  Items include hidden incendiary or explosive devices, while problems can include disconnected brake lines.

3.  The 100-Yard TelePrompTer Programming Dash………. A speed contest where entrants make as few errors as possible, thus avoiding POTUS needing to employ “um”, “er”, “ah” and other ‘stalling-while-trying-to-actually-think’ tactics while speaking.

4.  The Hang-’em Out To Dry Marathon……….. POTUS orders military line and flag officers to missions around the world where the outcome is pre-determined in that no matter what occurs, POTUS cannot be blamed for anything, but will receive all credit for positve results.  Since all military budgets have been “streamlined”, line and flag officers must run the 26.5 miles to and from their superior officer’s location for each in-the-field decision to be made.

5.  Closing Ceremonies: The Appeasement Parade…………. All nations required to participate with their national flags dipped at 45 degree angles to dignitaries in the reviewing stand.   Top government officials from Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and China have been invited to review the nations before them in this formal ceremony of surrender and final national suicide.

The Olympic Committee is open to suggestions for additional contests.  Please feel free to offer us your suggestions for Olympic events to flag@whitehouse.gov
