Who says that Barack Obama's voice no longer resonates with the world?
Fact is, the man's outrageous, non-stop blasphemy against all things American was so powerful that it changed the course of the 2016 Olympics.
And Rio thanks you, Mr. President! To a lesser extent, so do Tokyo and Madrid!
Clearly, Obama's anti-American back stabbing rhetoric since his inauguration backfired big time. So big, in fact, that even talk shown queen Oprah Winfrey could not bail the O man out this time.
What right-thinking IOC dude or dudess could vote for Chicago after listening to Obama trash the U.S. with such vim and venom?
Chalk up another W for silver oratory and another L for the good old US of A!
The lesson that has been lost on Chicago's most famous mobster since Al Capone is this: Having a silver tongue brings with it the conservative version of the R word: Responsibility!
Better to think before you speak, sir or, preferably, not to speak at all!
As the entire world has learned, even the Messiah cannot convert tarnished silver into shiny Olympic gold!
