777rak Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Sorry about the above post. I now realize that there actually nothing wrong with that. He is just trying to support the city he is from. I am sorry for him though that he will not be in Copenhagen to support his city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I think this event might have had him thinking more seriously about the matter...and how he'd hate to disappoint this sampling of supporters and youngsters. And I am sure Chicago 2016 and the USOC pulled out all the right strings for them to get to Barack O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
