Obama's trip to Denmark was about something, but it wasn't about making a pitch for a Chicago Olympics. I think he agreed to take a shot at it since he was there anyway, and the IOC meeting provided cover for something else.
Of course, the righty-wingers are trying to make it out to be something like: 'Obama fails in Copenhagen, and that means the IOC will soon have nuclear weapons.'
A couple of things come to mind.
First, he may or may not be going to the Climate Change conference in December. If he's thinking he won't, then now's a good time to touch some bases and make his points face-to-face with people who will be there.
But second, the quickie with Stan McChrystal was prob'ly a lot more than it seemed. I think it was a Come-To-Jesus meeting. I think the general was told straight out that he can shut up and do his job as the president sees fit, or he can resign his commission and run for the office himself.
