-I'm not a big Obama fan, but I think we should cut him some slack on this trip.
-Other heads of state have done this before (ex: Tony Blair for London) and other heads of state are in Copenhagen now politicing for their cities. Why not our guy. In the future, ..or I guess now, this will probably become something to be expected.
-Will there be a lot of graft and corruption in Chicago? --of coourse! 1) because it's Chicago , and 2) because every olympics I remember has had some kind of payoff/kickback/etc scandal associated with it.
-I say give the guy a pass on this, and wait till he puts his foot back on Andrews' tarmac and start right back up on him. Besides, while he's gone for 24 hours, there's no telling how much trouble the czars and congressmen can get into. Could be fun to watch.
