We’re just not that into you, Mr. Obama.
The race for the Olympic Sponsorship Gold ended in shocking disappointment today when favorite Barack Obama failed to medal.
Obama, 48, bounded onto the gym floor to his now familiar signature tune, “Mmm, mmm, mmm”. Radiating confidence, he began his routine with the popular though low value “hope and change/change and hope” backflip.
At 6 feet 1 inch, 155 pounds and no executive experience, Obama lacks the power to pull off such stunts as the 2 1/2 twisting backflip samba favored by the gold medalist from Brazil. He compensates with “As I said before” tumbling passes, that accentuate his long limbs and rhetorical dance steps that flaunt his artistry.
Though technically perfect, Obama’s routine was all too familiar having changed little if at all from last November’s U.S. Open and the judges penalized him for it.
In the end, it was simply not enough. Brazil won the gold. Madrid the silver. Tokyo took bronze.
