You Didn’t Win That
By Daniel J. Flynn/American Spectator
Michael Phelps has a thing or two to learn about Olympic fairness.
Swimmer Michael Phelps won his twentieth Olympic medal last night when he defeated fellow American Ryan Lochte in the 200-meter medley. And his Olympics haven’t yet ended. Should he qualify, Phelps could extend his medal record in the 100-meter butterfly later today and the 4×100-meter medley relay on Saturday.
“I thanked [my teammates] for being able to allow me to have this moment,” Phelps explained after his 200-meter relay victory earlier this week broke the all-time Olympic medal-record of eighteen. “It has been a pretty amazing career but we still have a couple of races left.”
Despite verbal graciousness toward teammates and all the third-person “we” talk, Michael’s message is loud and clear: I accomplished all this.

Since obama challenges basketball players on the WH basketball court, I’d like to see him swim a few laps against Phelps in the basement WH pool (it’s under the press room – fill it back up, don’t worry about the cost). I’d be interested to see what color water wings obama wears.

A few months in a re-education camp will learn him how to think correctly.

Btw looking like a monkey has nothing to do with race. Many girls call me “monkey man”, and I can understand why.

Even the whore Peggy Noonan is getting in on the action (after her APPALLING article the previous week equating the faux pas of US Olympic wear to Obama’s “You Didn’t Build That”) by writing
“Phelps didn’t win that. Somebody else built the pool.”
Not bad for a dying whore.

I agree with KoolAid. WTF is with the Confederate Grey uniforms? Doesn’t that make them “Racists”?
And, since the team is Gubmit sanctioned, doesn’t that make the gubmit “Racist”?
And, since Barry Obysmal is the President of the gubmit, doesn’t that make him “Raaaaaaaaaaaaacist”?
