The Opinion of Wonderful Copenhagen

Gail Collins, a columnist for the New York Times who wrote an editorial called Wonderful Copenhagen about how the President of the U.S.A. was going off to Denmark to put in a good word for Illinois to have the 2016 summer Olympics. Her story also talks about new things that are happening in our government, like "the first President to be on the David Letterman show" and how "No President has ever been called a liar by a U.S. representative during a speech to Congress". I believe that her story, though highly opinionated, is true for the most part. She makes very valid points about how the republicans have no room to complain that the presidents time is not being spent in the best interest of America when there party's last chief executive spent a good deal of his time as president "hanging out at Camp David" or "clearing brush just outside Crawford, Texas." I also like that she put the nicknames of the people who would be there, "Lula (president of Brazil), The New Guy (The Prime Minister of Japan), and Your Highness (The King of Spain)", helping make the decision of who would hold the Olympics. Honestly if you ask me I think her article is dead on, American is big on sports and you don't get any bigger than the Olympics. Not to mention he will only be there for a few hours then he will be on his way back. You know, she is right when she says she thinks Mr. Obama is taking a break, after all everybody needs a small break now and then. Don't you think?
