No one complained. He was showing the flag.

Same deal.

Actually, it's not the same deal at all. Attending the games is something that past presidents have done regularly....no prior president has pitched personally for the games.

Your BO is a loser.

...you needn't be. Trust me, it means nothing.

Dwelling on the Olympic thing is myopic, at best.

My friends on the IOC said Rio had a lock, regardless.

A sense of stunned bewilderment suffused Air Force One and the White House. Only after the defeat did many advisers ask questions about the byzantine politics of the Olympic committee. Valerie Jarrett, the president’s senior adviser and a Chicago booster who persuaded him to make the trip while at the United Nations last week, had repeatedly compared the contest to the Iowa caucuses.

But officials said the administration did not independently verify Chicago’s chances, relying instead on the Chicago 2016 committee assertions that the city had enough support to finish in the top two. Mr. Obama, Michelle Obama, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Ms. Jarrett worked the phones in recent weeks without coming away with a sense of how behind Chicago really was.

Just another example off total incompetence by the obummer cabal. Their vetting, policies, research, protocol and speech writing. aren't equal to junior high Government students.
