Shades of Hillary ("I was named after Sir Edmund") Clinton...now, if she had
said she remembered sitting on her dad's lap watching George Poage win _his_
medals, it might have been different...well, even funnier, anyway...next stop,
Liverpool, where she announces that she was especially close to the Beatles -
she was even named after the song "Michelle My Belle"....

Sheesh,

...and apparently, she didn't steal it all that much...and her husband didn't do
much better - what, 15 minutes after he lands, the IOC thumbs their nose at
Chigago...

come on, let's view this rationally. You get to spend 10 days watching
a fine sporting event in one
of two locales:
Choice One--Rio, with occaisional breaks, lying on the beach and
enjoying the, um, scenery.

Choice Two--Chicago.

I don't care if Barack, Michelle, Oprah, and all the Beatles, living
and deceased, made the pitch.
You would have to be insane to choose Chicago.

Oh, hell, if it were a choice between Chicago and Apalachicola, FL., Chicago
would be SOL, overall atmosphere-wise...but that still leaves a 20-something
Y.O. Michelle sitting on her dad's lap watching Carl Lewis and a slap to Obama.
Blair went to the IOC meeting and got 'em for London '12, and Putin went and got
'em for Borschtingrad or wherever the hell they'll be in Russia '14, and Obama
couldn't even get at least a reach-around for his efforts (and please, the "oh,
his - and Michelle's - trip to Copenhagen had NOTHING to do with the
Olympics..." shtick is as silly as it sounds...).
