Comment: It would mean jobs and lots of tourist dollars not to mention the repair of our image after the Bush debacle. from Miramar Beach by Jim

Comment: I'm an Independent and have no confidence in Obama whatsoever. from Pensacola, FL by Sue

Comment: absolutely not. He has a job to do, and he's doing a lousy job of it anyway. I wish I could fly around the world on bull shit on the public payroll. from pensacola fl by jim

Comment: What is more important? Payback to the Chicago Policical Machine or the lives of our brave men and women in Afghanistan. Our top General is being put off or ignored when he asks for more troops. from Cantonment / Florida by Donald

Comment: He should stay home, solve our economic problems! We don't need to spend billions more on Olympic Games when the world already hates us... from Milton, FL by Robert

Comment: I believe we have more important things to take care of now. Looks like they will put us in more debt than ever from Pensacola, Fl by J.F.

Comment: We are told to cut back, enconimize etc.. His wife couldn't travel WITH him,!! What a waste of OUR money! I'm tired of seeing Obama on t.v. he is not hollywood, he needs to do the presidential thing and make decisions on our troops, on health care, etc.. He needs to face the music of the people and give answers on important issues. He needs to stop apologizing for us. AND DO HIS JOB> from navarre by sharon

Comment: I believe that President Obama's actions with the Olympic trip shows bias and borders on abuse of office. I cannot remember the last time when any president had to represent the US on a bid for hosting the Los Angeles or Atlanta Olympics. Secondly, I believe that the healthcare and Afghanistan situation is being left attended. Too many irons in the fire, I do not think anythng substatial has been accomplished to date. from Pensacola by John

Comment: POTUS was elected to help these United States and not Chicago. He doesn't know how to be a leader. This is another trip for his own edification and not our country. We have too many of our own problems for his wife and him to keep spending our taxes for their pleasure. He cannot keep reiterating over and over that everything is the previous administration's fault and keep spending as he does for unnecessary things. from Pensacola, FL by June

Comment: IS NOTHING SACRED, FROM THE SMEAR OF POLITICS ANYMORE? Let's see now, since the election, the world has heard that Americans are too aggresive, that the United States of America has NEVER BEEN a Christian nation; I could continue, but what's the point. The Olympics as I understand it is supposed to be an outward showing of international sportsmanship. Yet, to get to the sportsmanship, the world must be undercut by the nastiest game in town: Politics. No matter who gets to play host, they are nothing but political pawns to our "political leaders". from Mary Esther, FL. by Tom

Comment: Waste of money. Another daily in your face appearance. Get over yourself, Obama. We don't like you or Michelle. from Pace by Sandra

Comment: Need to deal with issues at home first, such as economy. from Pensacola,Fl by Danny

Comment: the olympic commitee was able to see thru the flimflam man and his helpers and turned the usa down. from pensacola\fla by roland

Comment: While people are losing their jobs and facing hardship, there is no need for our President and First lady to be spending tax moneny to fly in different planes to attend. from Navarre Florida by Frank

Comment: That trip was a waste of money and time . The Olympic Committe is just a bunch of crooks demanding money and perks to put on a show . They are no better than our county commesioners who demand money from contractors if they want their project approved. Just because someone had Willie jr. killed does not mean that the corruption has ended. from Pensacola/Florida by Kevin

Comment: It's not as if hoesn't have communication with the country when he is away. It's no big deal. He met with the top general while he was onn this trip. Come on people get a life. from Navarre, Fl. by C J

Comment: He should stay in the WH and take care of the problems concerning the USA and not Chicago. Do not care how many favors he owes, he is killing our economy. It is not cheap to fly those hugh AF aircraft but he doesn't seem to care, why didn't he try out for the movies, all he and his wife want is to be on TV anyway they can. Am so very tired of seeing their face everytime the TV is turned on. ABSOLUTELY NO, STAY AT HOME. Chicago is not that great, lived there and was afraid of going on the streets alone. from Pensacola, FL by June

Comment: Who paid for this boon doggle trip? People should know Chicago is one of the highest crime rate cities in the country. from PensacolaFl by Leonard

Comment: I do support his trip but it just goes to show you that he does not have as much power as he thinks. from Pensacola by TJ

Comment: What a waste of Air Force One and all the support costs involved. Few people know that the twin 747 aircraft and all the associated support also goes on all trips just in case something breaks on the primary aircraft. Not just one, but two aircraft depoly for what? To impress the IOC qwith his importance? Notice how impressed they were with Obama, a fourth place (last) vote. from Pace, Fl by Mike
