Chicago 2016 Chairman Patrick Ryan wishes he had resolved concerns about financial guarantees before Olympic officials wrote a newly released report on the city, but the leader of Mayor Richard Daley's bid said Wednesday that he sees no remaining issues that can't be fixed before a host city is selected next month.

I predict bad things coming out of this. Richard Daley is the political Godfather of Barrak Obama and the City of Chicago is as corrupt and twisted as a snake. The people of Chicago and Illinois are already paying significantly for the Olympic Bid. If Chicago wins the bid, can ‘stimulus’ be far behind and will the entire nation be on the hook?

Actually, the political godfather of Obama is Emil Jones. That’s what they actually call Jones. He’s no better than Daley and is currently knee deep in the scandal at Chicago State. There will be federal funds to Chicago but the real terror will be to the citizens of Chicago. They are the ones that will be on the hook for all the corruption that surrounds it.

Is it unpatriotic to hope that some other country gets stuck with the bill for the 2016 Olympics?

I bow to your clarification since my ‘deep knowledge’ of Chicago is much dated. It is just that the ‘Daley Machine’ has been operating so openly and so efficiently for the better part of the past half century. Considering that Richard Daley has been the name of the Chicago Mayor for 41 of the last 54 years stands as proof. My supposition is that since Obama came out of Chicago instead of Springfield, at some point he had to have been ‘approved’ by Richard M Daley in some form.

Is it unpatriotic for me to retain any of my own money?

Oops, sorry, that question has obviously already been asked and answered - YES it is because it is unDEMOCRAT.

There’s no question about that. Look at his inner circle. Rahm Emanuel was put into Congress by Donald Tomczak, a Daley crony now in jail. David Axelrod is a Chicago political powerbroker. Valerie Jarrett, Arne Duncan, the Pritzkers are all Chicago tied. Nothing happens in the city of Chicago without Daley’s approval. If Daley wanted to make sure that Obama wasn’t ever elected to the State Senate that would have happened. Of course, Daley approved of him.

A great writer on all this is John Kass of the Chicago Tribune. He makes a lot of the connections between Daley and Obama.
