Right-Wing cheers failed Olympic bid

After grand criticism for his trip to Copenhagen for the 2016 Olympics, President Obama's rejection is the right-wing's victory. Fox Nation, the unfair and unbalanced blog of Fox News, has readers cheering "I guess he should have sent ACORN and SEIU over to soften them up. Followed by Pelosi and Reid. OH NO FAILURE! What will he do now? HA HA HA HA HA such a waste of tax payer money."

This irrational behavior of the unhinged right-wing is beyond the left's opposition to President Bush. No matter what the current administration attempts, the Republican Party, it's base, the conservative media, immediately say "NO!!!" Is this healthy for America? I think not.

Under President Bush, the left saw a man aloof, who had trouble finishing sentences, yet are anger stemmed from the war in Iraq, to the Patriot Act, and no-bid contracts for his staff's former employers. We took a few cheap shots, I won't argue that. That said, under President Obama, we see a man who inherited a two wars, an economic collapse, Wall St. and Insurance Company baron robbers, a health care system allowing people to die over typos,etc. I stated before he was elected "who the hell would want this job now? It has reached a point where he could find a cure for cancer, and the neo-cons would say no!

It is a fact, the Olympics are a costly event to host. However, the boost to jobs, infrastructure, and revenue are immeasurable. For instance, the 1976 Olympics in Montreal still garner revenue in practice facilities, which still house hundreds of jobs. In Vancouver, who will host the 2010 Winter Olympics, now has a Skytrain, which finished construction this past July. It shuttles workers to their jobs, serves as transportation for many. There are numerous conclusions one can draw on the cost. There are also many conclusions one can draw by allowing the status-quo to continue. The United States needs a boost. Whether it garnering revenue from the Olympics in 2016, saving on health care with a "public option" or actually bailing out the people. Screaming and shouting at every move the Democratic Party makes no sense. The right complains the President is not accomplishing enough, well, no! Not if you keep standing in his way.
