Maybe it was the pictures of Michelle in Spandex that turned them off(makes as much sense as blaming Bush)
Roland Burris? A genius for sure.
Let’s face it 0 x 3 still equals 0!
Welll....isn’t everything wrong in the world Bush’s fault?
Bush would have brought the Olympics home!
Pray for America and Our Troops
Bush was president when they selected Chicago as a finalist.
Still think if they wanted it done right, they should of asked Bush how to do it. He wasn’t the smartest guy in our history, but He’s forgot more than zer0, an Rahm, also has racked up some military achievements, listened to His Generals, and didn’t cry about the previous administration or the press.
Please learn where to put the link so it shows up in the right place.
How about the fact that the US has hosted eight Olympic venues in a hundred years? More than any other country by far. If Obama wants the world to like us he should not try to bully the IOC with his fleeting celebrity.
And then there’s the thick sisters....
Chicago is one of the most corrupt Cities in the US. If the IOC is corrupt..what does that say about the IOC if Chicago couldn’t win. Surely Rio didn’t have the money that the Daley machine has to pave the way for win.
Rio has more crime than Chicago and certainly a lot of slums. But they do have beachs and women....
Blame it on Rio (Bush)
PROGRESSIVE = DEMOCRAT
PROGRESSIVE = COMMUNIST
These people would have fit right into Jonestown.
Using this as another opportunity to take a cheap shot at Bush is just pathetic. If Bush had personally been lobbying to bring the Olympics to Crawford... they might have a point. Beyond that it’s all on Chicago and the cronies.
But the real truth is that as soon as it came out that there had never yet been an Olympics in South America... that’s when we all heard the lock click shut on Rio’s bid. That likely all the IOC needed to hear. The amazing part is that knowing Rio was probably a lock... consider how much hubris it takes for O to think his personal magnetism would overcome that.
Heh. True enough.
Well, there’s alway the Gay Games. How about a nice game of hide the baton.
There ARE other countries out there who have supported the Olympics over the years who have never hosted and would like to do so AND it isn't necessarily about SHOW ME THE MONEY (okay, maybe it is, but not ALL). Besides, our pockets are empty at the moment.
What I can't figure out is why he spent $10 million we don't have to fly that big-ass jet over there. Is Oprah picking up the tab?????
Bush allowed himself to become a pinata for the Left. Old habits are hard to break.
They were describing Reo on the news this morning. Corrupt, lots of poverty, hight murder rate, slums. I said “HELL, thats Chicago”
