The World Hates America...NOT Obama!!!!!

When Chicago was picked as a finalist for the 2016 Olympics, the city and America as a whole wanted to make the best impression possible and the best case to bring the summer games there in 2016. They pulled out all of the stops, and even played their two BIGGEST cards that they had...the BIG O's.

President Obama and Oprah Winfrey; with these two in your corner, who could you LOSE??? Apparently, very easily. Chicago was the 1st city to be eliminated in the finalist judging, even after President Obama and 1st Lady Michelle Obama flew all the way to Copenhagen, Denmark to support the bid.

Of course, the Obama haters made a BIG deal about his high enthusiasm and involvement in the Olympic bid, and criticized that he has more important things going on in his own country than to be "globetrotting" on the behalf of one city.

While this is true, with the wavering support for healthcare reform and the ecomony in ruins, I do not think that Chicago was not going to win the bid in the 1st place. With its reputation for violence, only made stronger by the death of 16-year-old Derrion Albert in the middle of a Chicago street, and its location in one of the coldest parts of the country, the Olympic committee probably looked at ALL of the pros and cons for each city, and the bad must have outweighed the good.

Not to mention the world's current mindset that America is the enemy! It is no secret that the entire world hates the United States, for their own various reason. Whether it is war and the economy, the world thinks that America has a superiority complex and think that they are better than them. In every category, America is a gluttonous and greedy super-bully in the eyes on the rest of the world. They take more than they need and that is why we are the fattest and greediest countries in the world.

I'm not mad @ the Olympic committee for picking Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 games. White sandy beaches & clear blue water would have made my decision easier too. The Olympic Village is probably gonna be on the beach somewhere, & I can't be mad at that, especially since the games are in the summer time...that is a major WIN!!!!!

Obama Won the Nobel Peace Prize...GET OVER IT!!!!!

On October 9th, the Nobel committee chose President Barack Obama to be the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace prize. He said that

he was suprised and humbled by the award and even that he didn't feel convinced that he deserved it.

Almost immediately, the Obama "haters" questioned why he won & said that he should be focusing on more important things like healthcare and the War in Iraq, other than than winning a prize. Some people even asked why he won a "Peace" prize when his country is at war.

Even though that is true, it still should not take away from this acheivement that has been bestowed upon our President. I do not like how he felt that he had to play down his own personal acheivement & make it seem that he didn't deserve to be in the company of former winners.

He should be able to enjoy his moment because even though he is the President of the United States, he won this award as an individual and has the right to his accomplishment. Also, the fact that he is being pressured to give the prize money to charity is stupid. Of course it is his choice on how to spend the money, but just like the award is his, the money is his too.

The committee said that he was awarded the prize for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". One of the 1st things that Obama did as President was attempt to heal foreign relations with the US and strengthen his foreign policy. He met with Japan's Prime Minister in February, and in July met with Palistinian president Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Isreal.



Of course the Obama "haters" think that it is wrong to meet with foreign leaders in the attempt to make things better. I guess they would much rather go to war and see American men & women die so that they can say that they are better...smh :-(
