In The End It Was President Obama Who BLEW the Olympic Sales Pitch
White House/The Lid/Rush Limbaugh ^ | 10/2/09 | The Lid

Posted on 10/02/2009 7:07:39 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

Part of the speculation about why Chicago didn't get the Olympics is that maybe the President wasn't at his best, after all he doesn't have a lot of experience in saying good things about the United States. But there is no worry, the president didn't have to say anything nice, what he said is he wanted the Olympics because America needed to repair its Image because of what was going on during the past few years, a code for "We Suck Because of George Bush."

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.

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?

Care to come back and elaborate? It's been hours since you posted that garbage. If you don't like security, what do you want?

“For the first time, I am proud of the International Olympic Committee.”

Quite right.

Hey BONEHEAD, are you aware of Chicago's 'Extreme security and requirements'?

There's Nineteen Olympic Shooting Events(1) that are OUTLAWED by Chicago's Firearms Laws. And Mayor Daley has said, unequivocally, that NOBODY is exempt from them. Not even ex-Chicago Cops -- they have to MOVE or get rid of their handgun(s) when they retire.

Then we have the State of IL's 'Extreme' Firearm Laws. Pursuant to THEM, those 'foreigners' you worry so much about couldn't get approval either as they don't qualify for the FOID Card we *need* just to ---- TOUCH A BULLET!

Ergo, the 2016 games couldn't be held in Chicago, or Illinois, in the first place. As if exceptions were made, scores of lawsuits by Chicago and IL residents would follow - and I'd be one of them! So put down the crack pipe and go back to DU.

Or are you maybe one of Eric Holder's new DoJ 'stealth' bloggers assigned to infiltrate FR?
If so I have a message for you.

Come And Get Me Copper!

(1) IIRC there's Ten for men and Nine for women.

I would think the security would be a plus.

the OB White House has issued a proclamation placing ALL DANISH PASTRIES off limits for government employees.

Oh, really? Well, this government employee is heading straight to a bakery to find some!

How about that video of the Chicago Yutes beating that kid to death, eh?
That really was inviting!
Would have made all the tinpot dictators and third world teams feel right at home.

Those Olympic bigots!
ummmmm...ummmmmm...ummmmmmm!

They denied The Nils the right to SEE THE WORLD OUT OF THEIR BACKDOOR.

ummmmm...ummmmmm...ummmmmmm!

This reminds me of when the clintons paid off our own Political Astronaut with an old-age space flight. Remember how billy told us all about how he and his little lady--after they won the gig--sat down together to make up their list of events they wanted to get out of this president thing? Watching a space launch was one of gimmie's that the little lady had on her list, and he told us how happy he was to be able give it to her.

These people don't even understand that the President and First Lady are supposed to be in SERVICE to the Nation.

Disgusting, low-brow trash--all four of 'em.
