Now Glenn Beck Smears Usain Bolt and Jamaica; Points To ‘Possible Treason’ By Obama

Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,


Last week he smeared Indian Americans and India — by attacking Indian trained doctors and the Ganges, a sacred body of water for Indians of the Hindu faith.

Now, this goon is swinging at Usain Bolt — the great Jamaican ambassador to the world by way of three sprint world records — the greatest sprinter of all time, as far as I am concerned!

Smearing multiple world record holder Usain Bolt, Beck calls Jamaica “a vacation country

Beck addresses his previous comment that Ganges River “sounds like a disease,” says he “didn’t mean to offend anybody

MediaMatters: On his Fox News show, Glenn Beck advanced the dubious rumor that the White House “threatened” to close Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force Base “if Senator Ben Nelson [D-NE] doesn’t fall in line with health care,” despite repeatedly acknowledging that he did not know whether the rumor — which he said “borders on treason” — was true. Beck went on to cite what he said was Obama’s delay in responding to a request for additional troops in Afghanistan, Obama’s comments reacting to the deadly shooting at Fort Hood, courts-martial of two Navy SEALs, and the actions of several individuals with no connection to the White House as constituting what he called a “preponderance of the evidence of Chicago thuggery” from the White House, strongly suggesting that the rumor was more credible than the administration’s denial.

19.59 Secs: Usain Bolt storms to stunning victory in the Lausanne Grand Prix!

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,


BBC: Triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt ran the fourth-fastest 200m time in history as he stormed to victory in appalling conditions at the Lausanne Grand Prix.

Bolt ran 19.59 seconds despite a strong headwind and heavy rain in Switzerland.

Olympic 400m champion Lashawn Merritt was second with Shawn Crawford fourth, while Asafa Powell won the 100m.

Asked if he would have broken the world record in better weather Bolt said: “I don’t even think of it in those terms, I was just trying to test myself.”

The 22-year-old Jamaican admitted that there was still room for improvement ahead of next month’s world championships, but was otherwise pleased with his form.

“I’m in good shape, but I’m not fully ready yet. I still need to work on a few technical things,” said the 100m and 200m world record holder. [ READ MORE ] [ IAAF WEBSITE ]

Usain Bolt runs a wind-assisted 9.77 in Ostrava, Czech Republic

Tags: , , , , ,


Last week Olympic champion Usain Bolt clocked a wind-assisted 9.77 seconds over 100 metres at the Ostrava grand prix.

The Jamaican, who set a world record of 9.69 seconds in the Beijing final last year, was assisted by a following wind of 2.1 metres a second.

Living up to the promise he made earlier, Usain Bolt delivered a “good time” in his third 100m outing of the season to cap a thoroughly entertaining 48th edition of the Golden Spike Ostrava – IAAF World Athletics Tour.

Bolt – ‘Second worst start I ever had’

While his 9.77 (wind + 2.1) performance was more than a quarter of a second ahead of his closest pursuer, Bolt had to work particularly hard to overcome a sluggish start, and the effort he produced clearly showed on his face as he accelerated towards the finish.

“That’s probably the second worst start I ever had,” he said of his 0.206 reaction time, the slowest of the field by far. Approaching midway, he was in third or fourth position, before finally shifting gears in his typically stronger second half

“I saw that I was behind and I really wanted to run a fast time here, so I really pushed hard to get back. That’s why you saw me really dipping at the line. I’m always good in the second half and that was when I got back into the race.”

Bolt confirmed that his sub-9.8 dash, under all conditions equal to his fourth fastest clocking ever, was a nice confidence booster after his last outing in Toronto, where he ran 10.00 in wet conditions. “Now I’m really looking forward to the (Jamaican) trials.

Craig Pickering, last year’s winner here, was second in 10.08, and Ronald Pognon third in 10.15. [ READ MORE ]

Usain Bolt Runs The Fastest 150m in History on a Manchester Street

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Put him in an Olympic stadium or a shopping street in the centre of Manchester and the result is the same: total annihilation.

telegraph.co.uk: The frightening thing is that the big Jamaican, who pushed back the boundaries of possibility last summer when he won three gold medals in world record time in Beijing, insists he is still only 70 per cent fit following an interrupted winter and the loss of nine days’ training after his car crash last month.

His winning time in last Sunday’s rarely run 150 metres was an eye-popping 14.36sec, smashing the previous best-known time for the distance of Canada’s Donovan Bailey14.99sec run on bend against Michael Johnson in 1997.

Britain’s Marlon Devonish was a distant second in 15.07sec. He admitted Bolt was in “a league of his own.”

Bolt’s time will now be ratified by the International Association of Athletics Federations as an official ‘world best,’ though it is his 100m split-time that will send shockwaves across the world – 9.90sec on a rain-soaked track in temperatures more common to February than mid-May.

To put that into perspective, Dwain Chambers managed 10.21sec in his first 100m of the season on Saturday in the tropical heat of Puerto Rico. The Briton’s talk of ‘Project Bolt‘ looks precisely that: just talk.

Bolt must now be taken at his word when he says he is capable of improving on his 100m world record of 9.69sec this summer. “Anything is possible” is his mantra, and on this evidence it is hard to think of a better phrase to describe what lies ahead this summer.

“You can expect great things from me,” said Bolt. “I always go out and try to do my best.”

His performance, which ended with his trademark ‘lighting bolt‘ celebration, was a reward for the several thousands hardy souls who shivered under umbrellas for most of the afternoon beside the temporary track erected on Manchester’s Deansgate.

But by the time Bolt took to the stage for the final the rain clouds had cleared and even the sun was starting to burst through. His Midas touch clearly extends to the elements.

By way of an hors d’oeuvre, Bahamian Debbie McKenzie Ferguson outpaced Britain’s Christine Ohuruogu to with the women’s 150m in 16.54sec, though this was all about a one-man show.

One woman in the crowd was even under the impression that the Jamaican’s dominance extended to the Bupa Great Manchester Run, held earlier in the day. She could be heard asking her neighbours: “Does anyone know how Usain Bolt got on in the 10k this morning?
