You forgot to add a pic of Bill Clinton, who will be scouring every event for a camera and every campus for a honey...

Chicago is far to corrupt to ever deserve to host the Olympics....

I really hope that Rio de Janeiro wins the 2016 Olympics. As much as I’d love to the games in America again, Chicago is just not the place.

Obama has it all laid out to his friends, who stand to make loads of money, and it’ll be corruption out-the-wazoo.

I think it would be nice to have the games in Brazil, as they have never been held on the South American continent. Let’s try something new for once.

How about the pictures of the gang fights on the streets of Chigago and pictures of the ghettos?

Don’t forget to pack your pepper spray and carry next-of-kin info somewhere on your person so they won’t have to cut your ear off to get it.

Is corruption an Olympic event?

Rio:

Has a 130 foot tall world famous statue of the Savior of all mankind.

Chicago: Still waiting to install a thousand foot tall Obama statue.

Not to mention that Lake Michigan is damn cold no matter what time of the year it is. You think all those sun-seeking Europeans and other tourists want to sit on a beach in front of lake that’s too cold to even swim in without a wetsuit? ;-)

Rio-Chicago. Carnivale-Gang wars. You tell me who’s gonna win.

my bet is on Rio. It is much more appealing to the sort of hedonists who run the IOC.

Brazil is also hosting the World Cup in 2014, but then again the US hosted the WC in 94 and the Summer Games in 96, so maybe that won’t matter.

To be fair, Rio is extremely corrupt, poor, and the slums there make the poorest neighborhoods in the US seem like luxury. North of Rio, in the State of Bahia, a bunch of cops were just exposed for murdering hundreds of street children.

(And for this we labor and strive), that we have put our HOPE in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe. 1 Tim 4:10 So the world gadfly is going to sell the RezkOlympics tied to the Chicago Machine for the 2016 Obamolympics. Not to worry though, he says that he will make sure it is Corruption Free just like his HC will be Illegal Alien Free. Perhaps the ObamOlympic Mascot can be a giant Acorn? Those lucky Olympic International Committee members get to be wowed by the Rockstar tour of Diva Oprah, Angry Michelle and the Cult Reader as well as Slumlord Valerie Jarrett. Now how could anybody think there would be corruption in this entourage? Apparently they have added a new event for these Games, the 100M Dash for Cash. Never mind that he has to take time from doing anything that would help our businesses like tax cuts or listening to our Generals about our why best and brightest are being killed by his military ignorance, he needs to bring home the ChicagOlympics. Shouldn’t he be standing by last weeks statement that no Country should have a better chance than another Country? Why does Chicago deserve it more than Rio, Madrid or Tokyo? Funny how he just loaned Brazil $5-10 Bil when he punishes our CEOs http://www.brayincandy.com/id164.html, is there a connection between that favor and the CorruptObamOlympics? Just another coincidence like Angry Michelle getting her UofChicago pay raise of $200K the day he was sworn in as Senator. Was there an under the table agreement made? Could there be a worse match then pairing Chicago and the Olympics? Isn’t this like giving Al Capone the key to Fort Knox. Who we going to watch over this boondoggle ACRIME and are the Unions going to make sure the construction is on schedule? Why don’t we just take the $$ and give it directly to the DNC and the Corruptobama re-election campaigns? This is going to be another giant $$ laundering machine to pump cash at corrupt politicians. What jobs are being created by building a bunch of stadiums in Chicago that will be filled during a 3 week period and then sit idle most the time? This will however enrich cronies in the Daley machine and especially those involved w/the union and planning committees. The kickbacks will be flying from all the usual places. There will be grease and graft being spread through the Transit Boards, Urban Renewal and those special Development Boards that will guarantee at least 25% will be creamed off the top. The good news is that there will be no evil profits. The fact is Valerie is the engineer for the Chicago Daley Machine and will manipulate every $ that goes through it. The not amazing coincidence is that the main developments will be right where Slumlord Jarrett made her $Millions http://www.brayincandy.com/id168.html. Many of the stadiums are going to be built right on the sites of many of the Chicago Projects. The question most should be axing is how many of these pieces of cheap real estate does Valerie and her friends still have? Did she or her family speculate on properties that could be future Olympic locations? The moment that the OIC announces the awarding of the Chicago hosting those property values will increase anywhere from 3-10 times. She likely has the chance to make 10s of $Millions as she holds some property that will have gone from worthless to some of the most valuable in Chi-Town. The South Chicago Ghettos have been a corrupt cash cow for the CDNC for decades. They have been nothing but a graft project to enrich CorruptocRat politicians and pols like Jarrett and Daley’s other thieves. These slums are going to become the venues and villages that the RezkOlympics will occupy. The people living in these projects will be moved out to either new projects or temporary facilities till they can move back to the refurbished buildings restarting the cycle. Either way, this is going to be a brand new cash tsunami for the Dailey mafia. It will likely take somewhere around $15-20 Billion to construct the ObamOlympics depending how much Graft is skimmed. There will be huge battles between the pols and the unions as all this grease is smeared into the most corrupt city in America by the most corrupt sports organization in the world. Do we really want to have an Olympics in a place that represents everything that is wrong in politics. Do we really want to bring our athletes to this cesspool of corruption as the stories will be uncovered while America holds its nose ignoring the 300 lb ACORN in the room. Isn’t this like having the Olympics in Iraq? Are you really going to have Daley in the reviewing stand representing the Olympic ideals? Will we have the before and after pics of the slums that will be converted into condos for the tourists and athletes that was built and skimmed w/public $$ while the inner city Blacks are pushed to the back of the bus? This is nothing we could be proud of like the Salt Lake or LA Olympics when we know the Rings will be tarnished. The races for the Gold will start from the first day this boondoggle is awarded. After all, Obozo just said in his Imagine Bromide, "No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation. No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed." Pray for America and Our Troops

I do wish Rio well, but from other previous olympic bids, when the leader of a country goes to the city that has the final votes done, means its a done deal. Looks like both Obama and Chicago has it in the bag. I have mixed emotions on this, Chicago going for the 2016 games, but that is the reality of olympics bidding.
