Nailed it, once again! As Twitchy reported, President Obama gave his unsolicited opinion about gay Russian athletes. He donned his gay-lo, natch.
Obama says he is looking 4ward 2 Olympic wins by gays. What about straights? #discrimination http://t.co/FLmMSxfmIl

Pander! Pander like the wind!
But author Brad Thor awesomely took the shine off that pandering gay-lo.

@BradThor I agree! I watch the Olympics for the competition and to cheer my country. Not for politics and agendas!!!

He also called out media lapdogs:

Smack.
Obama knows media will focus on his gay comments. Catnip to our useless media. Deflect. distract, no jobs, no growth…

Bingo.
Larry Elder also made a key point:
Obama: "If Russia doesn't have gay or lesbian athletes, it probably makes their team weaker." IF they make it on merit– like everyone else.

Merit shmerit! They totally didn’t build that.
@BradThor @ABCPolitics How about the notion that "AMERICAN athletes will bring home the gold"? What happened to that?

We are all hyphenated now.
And that brings us to Thor’s snap-tastic hashtag for the lapdogs:

Boom!

@BradThor #KneePadMedia is, by far, the best hash tag EVER!

It’s brilliant. Also brilliant? This exit point from Twitter user @WaltsPrincess:
@BradThor @ABCPolitics I'm fairly certain gay athletes have already won Olympic medals. Maybe he can concentrate on economy some day.

President’ing is hard. It’s far easier to spout nonsense and absurdly pander, you see.
