The New Rules…

Some folks are wondering what President Obama will do with the Nobel Prize Monetary Award–$1.4 million. Judging by this president’s past relationship with rule of law and conflict of interest issues, I predict that… He’ll keep it. And what are……

If Barack Obama can help bring the 2016 Olympic summer games to Chicago then I’m all for it. This can be the one great thing he does during his one term presidency. My perspective is that of a track & field athlete who wishes will be very excited to have the opportunity to make a USA Olympic team that gets to compete here at home.

Plus, it will be great to have the Olympic baseball final in Wrigley Field. They could have pool baseball games in Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium, etc.

You might see this during an Olympic baseball game in Boston:

My big fear, however, is…if Obama is impeached…we have President Biden and VP Pelosi.

Unfortunately no impeachment will ever happen, Pelosi should already be serving a life term for corruption and I suspect “Honest Joe” Biden should be as well.

I don’t know which would be worse, Biden or Pelosi, but I suspect Pelosi would not allow Biden to be President for long, she just can’t stand being second to anyone.

Which is worse would be a very difficult debate.

Unfortunately I think Chicago has a very good chance of getting the Olympics. Given Chicago’s reputation I’m sure the IOC is already salivating over how much they will pocket in bribes. And Obama being in the White house is the kicker, he will squash and federal investigation into corruption.

I don’t know of any City that came out ahead after hosting the Olympics. I’ve heard Sydney did but I can’t confirm that and most are almost bankrupted by the event. Of course DC is still saying their new stadium if good for their citizens. Of course the city imposed a new tax to pay for it, but it’s “Only on Businesses”, who just turn around and raise prices to pay it.

It’s odd how nothing any elected official says “will be good for x” is ever good for anyone but their banker.

Maybe Mrs. O will enhance her "dramatic presentation" by wearing the same foxy outfit she debuted so classily at the recent ceremony to award a posthumous Medal of Honor. It's really all about them, isn't it?
