Obama's stunt in Denmark

I live in a city that has hosted the Olympics twice. I'm all for the U.S. getting another Olympics.

And on Friday we shall.

On Thursday the President will spend tax payer money - a lot of it - to jet to Copenhagen to "lobby" for Chicago's bid. This is a bullshit P.R. trip. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Obama's going so as to take credit when Chicago gets the nod on Friday. He would not be going at all if someone in the White House did not know Chicago has the votes already.

Obama's narcissism is astounding. Truly astounding. His narcissism trumps his job every time one conflicts with the other.

Here is what is on his plate this week: The McCrystal report on Afghanistan, Iran belligerently shooting short and long range missiles, the world wide reaction to the revelation that Iran has another nuclear power processing plant, health care, and a host of day to day responsibilities that all Presidents endure.

Yet Obama, for no reason other to to buff his own helmet, will spend our money for a show appearance in Denmark.

If ever there was ever a job for a First Lady this little jaunt is one. It would still cost us too much money but it would not further demean the office of the Presidency. Then again he's a President who's been on Leno and Letterman in his first 9 months. He's a President that taped a promo for a cable sit com. He's a President that gave, as an official gift, a set of incorrectly formatted DVDs to a legally blind British Prime Minister. Who not fly to Denmark for a few hours so he can take credit for the Chicago 2016 Olympics?

Mr. Obama is not a serious man.
