Fiddling While Rome Burns

Isn’t it amazing that at a time when so many critial things are happening:
We are in the midst of the biggest economic crisis we have seen since the depression and unemployment is hovering just under 10%,
The General he appointed to assess the situation in Afghanistan and provide recommendations has requested more troops and his request has been shelved,
Iran continues its inexorable march toward obtaining nuclear capabilities (undoubtedly to be shared with its terrorist buddies like Hamas and Hezbollah),
That our President can find the time to flit over to Denmark so he can put the final schmooze on Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Olympics? Were Michelle and Oprah not strong enough to carry this banner?
And this comes just days after President Obama, when pressed about the continued government funding of Acorn with tax dollars which come from our pockets, (apparently so Acorn can assist entrepreneurial pimps), stated “George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to.”
Given the trip to Denmark, it would appear that the Chicago Olympic bid is the biggest issue facing the country.
Perhaps Mr. President, you should pay more attention to issues which matter to the citizens of this country, such as jobs, National Security and being a good steward of the public’s tax dollars, rather than feeding your ego by making a grand appearance in Denmark on behalf of your Chicago cronies.
