Michelle was always planning on going. It was said 0bama went because the competitors had lower gov heads as reps so they wanted to trump them for the win.

LOL.

Good! That means us taxpayers won’t get stuck with building up Chicago.

Yep! Anybody that watches Glenn Beck has seen the connection between Mayor Daley, Valerie Jarrett, Obama, low-income housing, and the Olympic push. This was never about the Olympics - it was always about laundering federal dollars to build up Chicago and Jarrett's bank account.

Makes me wonder if the Judges have been watching Beck...

Did Chicago actually receive the least votes among the participants?

This was like a Global American Idol. And the Committee is Simon Powell.

Just did an SR over at DU...heads are exploding...folks are pissed “Faux news” is going to pillory him over this..and that the media’s going to portray him as a failure (we kinda knew this going in).

But the real fun, they were LAMBASTING Rio. They were whining it had a crime problem (and Chi-town doesn’t?)and that why hold the Olympics in Latin America? I dunno, perhaps they deserve a turn?

Anyhow FReepers..it was fun to see that when the left doesn’t get their win, they can be as racist as they accuse us of being. I’d ask for a decon shower and a sham-wow now!

Took long enough to find a thread on this that wasn’t locked. I’m not surprised to find that Kristinn’s is the original thread. Anyway, Hahahahahahahahahahaha. No money for the crooked lib political machine in Illinois.

In a way, this is good for the following reasons :

1) America DOES NOT NEED to spend more money on a sports event which the GOVERNMENT ( Obama being a big spender ) is sure to shoulder a big chunk of money for. This means TAX DOLLARS once again.

2) We can now focus on the more substantial part of the economy -— BUILDING REAL COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE LASTING JOBS ( that is, if the current administration is even capable of understanding how to do it ).

MOST PEOPLE I KNOW THAT ARE OUT OF WORK CANT AFFORD TO GO ONLINE AND SIT IN CHAT ROOMS COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT WORKING. THEY ARE OUT THERE LOOKING FOR WORK AND TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO PAY THEIR BILLS. THE COST OF GOING ONLINE IS THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES, AND IT WOULD ALSO BE THE LAST THING TO GET PAID. (SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS BUT MY KEYBOARD IS STUCK IN CAP MODE).

Here’s something that I don’t know has been brought up which I find HIGHLY disturbing:

Obama had General McChrystal fly to Copenhagen to discuss Afghanistan. Yes, McChrystal was in London, but Obama is treating the General and the war in Afghanistan as some kind of freaking afterthought as Obama is too busy trying to get politcal paybacks for his cronies in Chicago. Disgusting.

"Which talking head will be the first to blame Bush?"

Well, the accidental Senator Roland Burris already has by stating that the last eight years of damaged US reputation made a difference. (Heard this on Fox Business, no citation)
