From The Toolbox: Partisan Olympic Haters
Lou Dobbs, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Kristol and a ton of other conservatives out there are tools. In fact, put them all together and you’ll get the biggest toolbox I’ve ever seen. The partisan reaction to Chicago not getting the Olympics last week was repugnant and grotesque. Don’t get me wrong, I had issues with Chicago hosting the Olympics for many reasons and was evenly split down the middle on this. But the reaction by most conservatives said more about the state of the GOP than anything else in recent years.
Many of the jumped on Obama for going to Coopenhagen to show his support and address the IOC. He was gone for a day and also met with Gen. McChrystal on the plane (it’s called multi-tasking). Obama joined the other heads of state in lobbying for their countries, yet somehow his was all about “ego.” It’s ridiculous. President Bush was on vacation for 1/3 of his presidency and we’re screaming about Obama taking a trip to lobby for something that might be beneficial to the country?
If it might be bad for the President, they’re against it…even if it’s good for America. This goes for a ton of other things as well (healthcare). I’m so sick of these hacks.
