re: #141 Rexatosis

I don’t care how the Dems or GOP want to spin this. In the end the United States sent its political A-team to Denmark and finished fourth in a four team race—that means LAST. That in and of itself is troubling. Either the administration cannot count (a requirement in politics both internationally and domestically) or is delusional about its ability to sway international opinion. Neither is a good sign. Down ding all you want but when you strip away all the political bullshit and posturing that is what is left.

Obama was in a no win situation, obviously even Bush supported the bid. If the Obama did not bother to pitch his home town and we lost, he’d be criticized too. He had to try, even if he risked losing some face.
