The one good thing coming out of Russia's horrible anti-gay laws -- the Obamas and the Bidens won't be attending the Olympics, saving us from weeks of fawning media coverage about their experiences in Russia. ![thup :thup: :thup:](/styles/smilies/thup.gif)

Obama sends message by naming Sochi Olympic delegation
The White House delivered a strong message of opposition to Russia's anti-gay laws Tuesday with the announcement of its delegation to the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics.
The White House delegation will include an openly gay athlete: tennis great Billie Jean King.
It will not include the president, first lady or the vice president, all who headed the previous four Olympic delegations, or a cabinet secretary, only a former one. This marks the first Olympics since the 2000 Sydney Summer Games that a U.S. president, vice president, first lady or former president has not been a member of the delegation for the opening ceremony, which will be Feb. 7 in Sochi.
