George Will On The Obamas

This from VD's daily post:

GEORGE WILL SLAPS AROUND THE OBAMAS

And he does so with all the deep contempt of a genuine wordsmith for a cheap charlatan:

In the Niagara of words spoken and written about the Obamas' trip to Copenhagen, too few have been devoted to the words they spoke there. Their separate speeches to the International Olympic Committee were so dreadful, and in such a characteristic way, that they might be symptomatic of something that has serious implications for American governance.

Vox continues:

"Both Obamas gave heartfelt speeches about . . . themselves. Although the working of the committee's mind is murky, it could reasonably have rejected Chicago's bid for the 2016 Games on aesthetic grounds -- unless narcissism has suddenly become an Olympic sport."

So. It seems as if there are others besides myself that have concluded that Chicago would have had a much better chance at getting the 2016 games... if the Obamas had just stayed home.
