Was the Chicago Olympic Trip a Ruse?

I've been thinking--you know, a little conspiracy theory.

Maybe President Obama didn't really go to Copenhagen for the Chicago Olympic bid. Oh, yeah, of course going and making a pitch provided a good "front"--but maybe General McChrystal wasn't the only "side" meeting he had.

Here's my theory....the Nobel Committee reached its decision, and they knew it would be controversial. So they decided they needed to let the leader of the free world know in person--and talk about the ramifications of his potentially not accepting it.

The Nobel Committee showing up on White House visitor logs would blown the whole caper--but what if they hopped a commuter flight to Copenhagen and had a chat with The One while he was there--made damn sure he knew that he'd won and that he'd accept if awarded it (they would NOT want to deal with a head of state turning the award down).

And they never show up on the logs......


I'm just sayin'......why else would The One risk so much capital on the Chicago bid? Why, for a Nobel Peace Prize, of course!

Conspiracies are soooooooo hard. And he should have turned it down, in a graceful, moving way. This will become an albatross around his neck.

You back on the Jameson CW? Plausible? Yeah maybe, but it's a three cushion bank shot at best.
I'm confused. Not to bring up the past, but you get all over my case for my forays into conjecture, and then you come up with something like this!? Lord, lordy, lord.

GHD--

This was from the outset an acknowledged dip in the conspiracy theory pool. My (past) problems (you've been a steadfast contributor lately) were that you presented your wild conspiracy theories as though they were fact.

As for plausibility, I admit this one is a huge stretch.

Point taken, good luck with the Hoosiers.

Hoosiers v. Wahoos, no wonder foreigners think we're nuts.

Trust me on this one. The more outlandish the conspiracy the better it is for the conspirators.

If it is plausible, it is possible. Keep in mind The Company's second motto. "Always have plausible deniability."

What's their first motto?

The CIA has its official motto inscribed in stone just inside the front door : “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”
