Some are talking about how dangerous Chicago is, but Rio de Janeiro is has 4 times more murders than Chicago. I don’t think violence is an issue. An event such as the olympics would definitely create employment and benefit both small and big businesses. I’ve seen it happen in SLC 2002.

“In 2006, 2,273 people were murdered in the city giving it a murder rate of 37.7 cases for every 100,000 people.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro#Crime

“In 2008, murders rebounded to 510 to lead the country, breaking 500 for the first time since 2003.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Chicago#Crime


I think a major obstacle which stands in the way of hosting the World Olympics is requirements for foreign visitors. Finger prints, photographs, registration are some requirements if you live in certain countries. This is all because of policies put in place by the Bush Administration. Extreme security and requirements are not inviting to the rest of the world.

Maybe Brazil doesn’t have a naecissist pre_sent who thinks that just by showing up gives him the win.

Why would the IOC want to reward a country that the CIC claims was always wrong and sucked before he took over?

Not to mention the fact that Michelle ma Belle said she sat on her daddy’s lap while watching Carl Lewis in the Olympics.

How many 23 year old girls sit on daddy’s lap to watch TV?

So what's stopping Zero from rescinding these policies?

BTW, welcome to FR. I'm afraid your stay will be short and the ride bumpy, unless you stop spreading propaganda for Zero.

You might be partially right. In which case, I don’t care. Our nation’s border security is more important than hosting the Olympics.

Is that all you liberals have to fall back on is, 'Bush did it'? Do you realize just how intellectually shallow that argument is anymore?

At some point, you idiots are gonna have to face reality and realize that the bad things happening now are directly due to ZERO's policies and actions, not those of Bush.

Your post only reinforces the perception that all of Zero's supporters are morons.

Refresh my memory, how long has it been since our enemies successfully attacked our nation on our own soil? Do you suppose some of these inconvenient "extreme security requirements" might be responsible for the failed attempts to attack us again?
