It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch. There they were: Obama, Michelle, Oprah Winfrey, Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Mayor Richard Daley – all from Chicago, by the way – plus media flacks, staffers, aides, security – and, for all we know, their own chef and food taster.

But before him, Michelle arrived on her own jumbo jet with Oprah Winfrey in tow – apparently hoping to dazzle those Olympic hicks with some real star power. They preened and schmoozed, aiming to impress with glitter. Reporters referred to Obama as a "rock star," and some allowed that Michelle won the "gold" with her charm offensive.
