Senator Rowland Burris of Illinois, the Senator who was appointed to fill President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, blames George Bush for Chicago not getting the Olympics in 2016. Burris stated in an interview, shortly after the announcement, that the image of the U. S. has been so tarnished in the last 8 years that, even Barack Obama making an unprecedented pitch for the games could not overcome the hatred the world has for us as a result of George Bush.

Didn’t take long for BDS to kick in.
It’s also definitive proof of Global Warming.
Rowland, you are an idiot.
OMG, time to just build a giant padded cell and to put these Dems in it! So if Chicago had gotten the Olympics would that have been because of Bush and not Obama too???!
ROFL! Bush’s fault
It took longer than I thought it would, lol.
Pathetic.
Chicago is a filthy city & it would have cost the taxpayers millions to clean it up for the Olympics.
I'm thrilled Chicago did not get it, our taxes are going to go up anyway, due to EX GOV. BLAGO!
But, of course, some Chicago crook has to find a way to blame it on Bush!
Rush predicted this an hour and a half ago....
Maybe Olympic officiela bought the “O” hype about how backward, arrogant, dismissive we are. “O” said that we are knuckle-scraping Neanderthals and loud-mouth jingoistic, genetic throwbacks, who are pathologically attached to our guns and bibles over here in this s&^% hole called ‘America.’
After all ... “O” DID do a world tour blathering on with JUST these preposterous and groveling toady lies to any one who would listen.
So now, whose fault is it if he did such a good job convincing them!!??
I called it first!
OK, who had 1:40 pm EDT in the pool?

LOL...:D did anyone say the IOC is racist yet???
The next good thing that happens should be because of BUSH too, if their logic holds. Unfortunately, their logic is full of holes and only swings LEFT!
Nice try! Does anyone in the White House take responsibility for their own actions. Comments like Burris made make people run from Obama. They just don’t understand that we are not that stupid!
Did he REALLY say this? If so ... man, these stupid Democrats are so predictable. I was reading in an earlier thread where a Freeper was saying, with sarcasm, “It’s Bush’s fault!” Then another Freeper said, “How long will it take for someone to blame Bush?” Well, here’s our answer ... about 45 minutes or so! Oh, it was also a racist vote by the IOC. Let’s just go ahead and say it. How long will it take Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to say that it was racist? Huh? Huh? The clock is ticking ...
Aw come on! Everyone knows it was Cheney! Or Rove... Maybe Glenn Beck?
Chicago’s a filthy city? Chicago’s political climate is a huge problem but I certainly wouldn’t call it a filthy city. I think it’s really a beautiful city, at least inside the loop.
It is further evidence of the need for a second stimulus package.
fools...fools and assholes alert
Wow, I thought drinking the Koolaid kill you off, but this guy survived, must be severly brain damaged. Frankly, I think the IOC sent a clear message “KEEP YOUR POLITICIANS OUT OF THIS, THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL THING”
The 100 yard dash would have certainly been more intresting in this neighborhood...
I am so friggin’ glad we lost now.
WOW. What an absolute joke we are.
Responsibility2nd, I love the picture. Is that Chicago’s Olympic welcoming committee? Or is that the riots in Chicago after they announced they were eliminated for the 2016 Olympics?
Someone should fix the title to get his first name spelled right.
You have no clue what you’re talking about. Chicago is not a filthy city at all. Maybe your neighborhood is filthy, but the city is one of the cleanest I’ve ever been in.
Roland lost my respect when his protestations that he did not engage in quid pro quo to garner Obama’s senate seat were revealed to be not worth the hot air with which he inflated them. I guess when a man builds himself a burial shrine fit for an Olympian (complete with room for the inscription ‘Senator’), he is willing to ‘pay to play’ in the big leagues.
I guess Rollie was in on the potential pie that was gonna result for the Chicago crime family.
"he [sic] failure to bring the Olympics to Chicago has nothing to do with President Obama and everything to do with how the dumb azz "W" administration screwed the world. We are going to be paying for his failed administration for many years to come."
Not yet, but they're getting pretty desperate. They might just pull out the RC before the week is out.
Allow me to confess...I am very upset at the unbounded JOY I felt the moment I heard the IOC had rejected the Olympic bid of that sewer of a city, Chicago. The prospect of the unbridled corruption that would have been Chicago’s gift to the world was scary. We have enough to be worried about.
The CHOICE of other American cities in the past have filled me with pride. The rejection of this one fills me with relief. That is a sad confession to make.
My response to Mr. Burris
Obama, mmm mmm mmm snort/
LOL...
Isn’t there an ongoing investigation of Burris and his seat in the Senate?
Wonder if the "racism" card has been played yet? Rush mentioned it already, but I don't count him because he's being a wiseacre.
That Dubya is sure one powerful dude. Even from the political grave, he has singlehandedly thwarted the New Age Obamassiah’s best laid plans.
He must have written his comments last night and studied them just in case they lost.
Do these people ever get tired of making fools out of themselves?
Blaming President Bush and crying racism is no longer effective.
Oh Mr Burris, The One was elected and has apologized for all of our sins. They love us now.
The also see how Obama does not love us or his country.
That is an ugly thing that was not rewarded.
Burris = lulz.
Go back into hiding idiotic moron.
Rush’s opening lines were spot on - you captured it perfectly.
In less than 12 hours, they will be blaming Rush, Beck, Fox for the failure. Just like they’re already blaming Bush
That is a still from a videotape of a murder, believe it or not. A high school kid was beaten to death in a gang attack in Chicago last week, and somebody passing through videotaped what happened. The “yoot” in the video is about to take that 2x4 and whack the victim in the head with it, knocking him down. Later on, a bunch of other “yoots” come over and take turns kicking and punching him, leaving him unconscious on the pavement before they run off down the street in search of other victims.
