I agree with Rush, this is a total disaster for the Bamster. It is difficult to believe that he would subject himself to this risk of failure, very poor judgment.
Blame it on the bad intel Axelrod was getting from the firm that was doing IOC-contracted work ...

Since the Olympics will be held south of the equator, will they be called the Winter Olympics?

One more slap in the face to the Zer0bama administration...

I was wondering if they were planning to change the schedule or what.

From: akpdmedia.com/history
At AKPD, we’re proud of our history. And we think when you get to know a little about where we have been, you’ll have a better sense of the unique strategy, discipline and creativity we bring to our work.

David Axelrod began his career as a journalist, and before long he was the Chicago Tribune’s political editor and columnist, the youngest person in the paper’s history to hold those positions.

and - cnsnews.com/commentary/article/54771
Take senior White House adviser and Obama campaign guru David Axelrod. He’s been a Daley loyalist since 1989, when he signed up as a political consultant for the mayor’s first run.

Axelrod’s public relations firm, Chicago-based AKPD Message and Media, has pitched in work for the Chicago 2016 committee.

Bad intel ...

Don’t worry. Obama has shown he can learn from his failures.

Health Care Failure - Wasn’t radical enough
Stimulus Failure - Didn’t spend enough
Cap’n Trade Failure - Didn’t tax enough
Government by “Czar” Failure - Was too transparent
Iranian Nukes Failure - Didn’t appease enough
Mideast Peace Failure - Didn’t pressure Israel enough
Russian “Reset” Failure - Didn’t betray America’s allies enough
Olympic Failure - Didn’t apologize for America enough

So, going forward we will see a changed Obama. He’ll be more radical, increase spending and raise taxes even faster, be even less transparent, turn up the appeasement of thugs and dictators, turn up the pressure on Israel, betray more allies, and blame America first more often.

...which should signal danger.

The Communist-in-Chief stinging from fresh public humiliation will unleash something even more terrible than usual. He’s not going to sit back and think about this for four days, no he’s gonna do something.

BJ Clinton used to fire off a few cruise missiles when the domestic situation got sticky.

Baraq will probably do another round of Sunday morning talk shows and maybe a primetime during the week.

All politics aside, I was hoping that Chicago was going to get the Olympics. I always love the chance to see us Americans root our heroes in our own backyard. I hate to put the athletes through the awful treatment that is given to them by the rest of the globe.

I am sure Rio deserved to win, yet I am also convinced that much of the “No” vote on Chicago was pure anti-Americanism.
HOWEVER, with Chicago’s handgun ban, no shooting athlete would have been ALLOWED to compete, or even posess his handgun, in Chi-town! Maybe they would have done that in Michigan?

Well there is a surprise! I wonder how they’ll spin this one?

This is one he can't blame on Bush! The left would look even more pathetic if they tried!

Howdy!

Yeah, I heard this on talk radio during the Mark Davis
show (judging from the time I posted) and knew folks would
want to know about this.

Obama is such an arrogant a$$, and a Marxist/Statist to
boot!

So he goes around the world and “apologizes” for America
being such a horrible country, then goes to Vienna to
lobby for the Olympics to be in Chicago, and expects them
to hand it over to him, just for the asking? Hey, Obama!
If America is as bad as it is in YOUR mind, who the he!!
would wanna COME HERE, huh???

“What an embezzle! What an Ultra-Maroon!”

Hi Meek, good to ‘see’ you!

[Hey, Obama!

You are absolutely right! I read in one article, maybe on Drudge, that both of the Obama’s speeches were all about THEM, and that that might have put off some people.

Michelle did just as Obama always does, makes everything about ‘them’ and not about our country.
