I would have loved to see their faces when they were told no way.

Maybe we'll get to see some Press Pool photos? Ya think?

So here's the first on many Rejections and Repudiations of 0bama!

Planning to add GREATLY to it next fall when we kick the commies out of OUR Congress!

BTW - This “teachable moment” would educate most people that he should simply do his job WELL and stop with all of the extraneous BS. God knows he should be spending every waking moment on our Economy, JOB CREATION, our fine and brave soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, and denial of Nuclear weapons to religious zealot dictators of Iran. But then again he's probably not smart enough to get that lesson.

“..On a serious note, this is a signal that Obama and the US in general does not have the same clout internationally that we once had in years past. To me, that is the bigger issue which this loss highlights. Obama seems to have had a problem with “American exceptionalism”, well, this is the result, and this is what he gets.”

*Sigh* True.

This is his comeuppance for his Apology Tour I guess.

Did I hear the video correctly? Did Chicago actually receive the least votes among the participants?

Is this the thread that works.

WHY is there an admin mod locking out all of the other threads on this and reposting the thread’s URL that they just locked as a new thread to post in? NOT one chicago thread is open they are all locked!

I see this one is open so delete all others this is nuts.

I would do anything but sell my soul to be on that plane on the ride home. Can you imagine what those two will say?

We may even get some extra benefits from this debacle. Zero does not take well to rejection. This is the biggest, most public, and outright rejection he has faced. Who knows if will make him do or say something that might show a few more people who he really is?

obama caused this”On a serious note, this is a signal that Obama and the US in general does not have the same clout internationally that we once had in years past.”

We will change it when he leaves on jan 21 2013 and hope it doesn’t do much damage in the meantime

I don’t consider this damage

Were your friends happy when Carter did not allow our athletes to compete in the Olympics when he was president? Wouldn't be surprised if Obama made up some excuse to do the same thing.

I was having a conversation in the locked thread on this that sends you right back into the locked thread...

Anyway

They lost money in the millions I think 100 million JUST to bid on this...muchless the travel expenses we had to pay for.

People are jobless and they want to make themselves richer.
