The ONLY accomplishment of Osama’s administration has been to drive gun sales through the roof.

Why should the US host the games three times in 32 years? It makes no sense. Tokyo has not held it since 1964 and there has never been an Olympics in South America. I hope either Tokyo or Rio gets it.

Our role is to PAY THE BILLS, not receive any benefits. I guess Obama didn’t read the entire NWO memo.

No conflict of interest there, is there? /sarc/

I can imagine any number of Oboomba cronies have bought up adjacent properties. Is Rezko in for any $$$? Mozillo? This administration are the dirtiest people in public office, ever.

I think that the fix is already in and that Chicago has it in the bag.

You think that Obama is going to travel all the way over there to not get the win?

Watch....

The only thing this guy does is community organizing.

He really can’t “DO” anything else.

“Obama Heading to Copenhagen”

Does anyone else see the irony in this?

“The Emperor’s New Clothes”

by Hans Christian Andersen

(Hans Christian Andersen was born on 2. April 1805 in Odense (Denmark)...When Hans Anderson was the age of 14 he ran away to Copenhagen...)

Mitt Romney can get the rest of the country to bail you out.

Besides, you think Chicago is picking up the tab? Heck no, it’s BOHICA time for national taxpayers.

If Bush had done this for say... Houston or Dallas, can you imagine what the SRM’s reaction would have been?

And Montreal hosted it in 1976, and they are still paying off the debt.
