Olympic failure

October 3, 2009

In the featured section on its home page, Yahoo earlier today had an AP analysis about President Obama and the Olympics and a story about Paris Hilton’s lastest fashion faux pas.

Despite the earnestness of the AP reporter, I’d say Yahoo had the Obama story played just about right. After trying to make it seem like a disaster for Obama’s presidency, the most telling line in the analysis says the whole thing may be forgotten in a day or two.

There was nothing wrong with Obama going — if nothing else Olympics construction jobs would be an economic stimulus.

And had he not gone, he would have been criticized for not trying.  Face it. No Democrat can do anything good. Ever. At least according to some right-wing commentators.

Once the Sunday talk shows get done with this issue, it will have more than outlived its usefulness in filling up the 24-hour news cycle.
