re: #197 tokyobk

I posted this on a lower thread:

It’s another example of BHO’s fading image. Granted, his presence might not have meant a thing one way or the other. But, it was like his gambit on health care—he put a personal stake on getting it done with the IOC and it looks like he failed— emphasis on “looks”. I don’t care who is in the WH, you don’t put the prestige of that office on the line unless it’s a sure bet.
