The Olympics are supposed to be about the world coming together to participate in a joint cultural celebration for the good of all, not a cold and calculating zero-sum nationalist propaganda-fest where we root for those born on the same side of an arbitrary geographical border as we were to take home all of the shiny metals.

I don’t know whether Obama really has the views on the Olympics attributed to him in this comic, but if he does: shame on him.
