WORLD REJECTS OBAMA : CHICAGO OUT IN FIRST ROUND (Drudge Headline)

Drudge Report ^ | October 02, 2009 | Matt Drudge

[RobinMasters]

The City of Chicago was eliminated in the first round of voting, before any host city was selected.

An expert called it the "biggest shock in IOC history."

Supporters gathered in Chicago were equally shocked. Many left the rally in tears.

Ping.

BOO HOO!

OBUMMER CONTINUES TO DELIVER NOTHING!

he needs to focus on being a President and not a Communist Organizer.

[milwguy]

“The Ego Has Landed” Perfect headline!

[RobRoy]

Sheesh, Obama goes for a “little” win, and is totally snubbed.

I figured the fix was in or he would never have done it. I think I overestimate the guy.

[bboop]

HA! The ego has landed! Oh hardihar. Well said, Drudge.

[GeronL]

Where did he get the pic?

Was it from Copenhagen?? Is that his real reaction?

War on Denmark??

[Rocko]

What an idiot to put so much political capital on this. The pattern of incompetence continues.

[MadelineZapeezda]

Such a sacrifice they made for us all.....poor dears!

[Man50D]

Keep talking BO. You’re the best spokesperson for the opposition regarding any position you support.

Everybody sing! “Nothing could be sweeter than to see Chi-town defeated in the morning!...”

CHICAGO ELIMINATED FROM THE 2016 HOST CITY VOTE

The vote closes and the scrutineers are now checking the results. If there is no majority for one city, remember, the city with the least votes will drop out and another vote will take place.

[angkor]

There’s so much more to being the POTUS than being an Alinsky-style “community organizer.”

[RayChuang88]

In this case, it's more and more likely that Rio de Janeiro will win. And it will win with one VERY good reason: because Rio is only one time zone ahead of the US Eastern Time Zone, that means just about every event during the Games can be broadcast live to at least the eastern half of the USA.

[choctaw man]

(An expert called it the “biggest shock in IOC history.” Supporters gathered in Chicago were equally shocked. Many left the rally in tears.) - Oh brother, talk about ego! Who gives a s*** where the Olympics are? I’m glad they’re not coming to the US. Now that this is over, the POTUS has nothing to do and no where to go...

[conservative cat]

I hope that is the pic from Copenhagen. HAHA!

[Cicero]

Since Drudge put that photo up immediately, you can BET that he had at least two pics on file, ready to go as soon as the news broke. Obama won; Obama lost; and maybe another for suspense, if Chicago stayed in another round or two.

But this couldn’t be better. Obama lost in the first round!

[agere_contra]

Ditto. I just assumed Obama knew what he was doing.

We give these guys way too much credit sometimes.

[gathersnomoss]

Communist Organizer...I like that one.

[mort56]

I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning. It smells like victory!

[Nervous Tick]

>> I think I overestimate the guy.

Don’t be too hard on yourself — he’s really easy to overestimate.

;-)

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Next headline,

McChrystal said to be working on invasion plans of Denmark. Takeover of IOC is probable. We must get our priorties straight people!!!

[dagogo redux]

I believe he was disqualified from the competition after they ran a DNA test and determined he wasn’t really a man.

[Rocko]

OBUMMER CONTINUES TO DELIVER NOTHING!

[OB1kNOb]

OBAMA! AN OLYMPIC-SIZED FAILURE !

[alloysteel]

Well, THAT was an exercise in futility.

Shouldn’t have sent Michelle m’belle in first, she sort of spooked the Olympic Committee.

None of this following the women into the room, the reactionary types on the Olympic Committee do not like it when the women come along to argue the merits of their pitch.

“...An expert called it the “biggest shock in IOC history.” ...”

The biggest shock in Olympic history was when the US men’s hockey team beat the Russians in Lake Placid.

[CheneyChick]

I like how Chicago was FIRST to be eliminated.

I have a bottle of Macallan Single Malt, let’s celebrate - Hee-Hee; POETIC KARMA HAS BEEN SERVED. Let’s send TEAM AMERICA, over to Copenhagen to protect the ballot box.

[alisasny]

US media will still hold major events on tape delay for prime time..... that has been seen over and over again.

[GWMcClintock]

“The ego has landed” I love it!

[taildragger]

Give me a small business owner on any American Main Street that meets a payroll and knows the Accounting Equation and I would feel more comfortable calling him or her: Mr or Madam President than this clown...

[marron]

An expert called it the "biggest shock in IOC history."

Why? No offense, but out of the cities listed, would Chicago be your first pick?

[cousair]

WHOOPEEDO!! To quote our illustrious carbon footprint resident of the White House....he really made an A—H-— out of himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pox]

“The Ego Has Landed.”

ROFLMAO!!

[devere]

Rio was always the logical choice, but Chicago out in the first round of voting is very embarrassing.

[reagan_fanatic]

Best. Headline. Ever.

[kellynla]

The IOC did Chicago and American taxpayers a favor...the Olympics are a HUGE financial loser...even the ‘84 L.A. Olympics that were reported to be a financial gain failed to report the millions it cost for SECURITY...I went to the boxing at the Shrine auditorium...for free(friend who worked at ABC gave me tix); the Shrine auditorium was EMPTY. And besides the opening & closing ceremonies, everyone stayed home and watched it on TV.

[uncitizen]

An expert called it the "biggest shock in IOC history."

Oh Please!

[raccoonradio]

His Lord Holiness Barack, Empress Michelle, and Soap-Oprah
did NOT deliver. “An audible gasp went up in this building”
(somewhere in Chicago, the rally for winning the Olympiad...)

[texas_mrs]

[Phlap]

With Barry and Mickey putting their weight behind the bid I thought the fix was in.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Let me be the first to say it:
“Unexpectedly”

“The Ego has Landed” priceless! Truly ROFLMAO! Thanks Matt!
