At this point...I don’t care...as long as it ain’t Chi-Town, though if it’s Rio..watching DUers go into apoplexy would be DAMNED amusing.

Chicago’s film sucked. Just saw it on CNN. Now they’re showing Tokyo’s film. More global, less local.

If this smile stays on my face for more than 4 hours, should I call my doctor?

In the three video presentations they had (which I am sure Oprah or some loony bin hollywood commie) produced and made)

It showed the lakes and waters around chicago to be like the royal blue caribbean. Forest Gump saw through their bullcrap. TOTUS gave a long wiiiinded boring speech that said nothing but DO THIS because I SAY SO. Michelle cried and used her daddy having M S and he would love the para olympics. It was so fake.

What no one is talking about is Prince Albert somebody (a judge) asked about ‘the shooters’ the room went still, they thought he was talking about chicago crime. He was talking about the shooting competition. But I think it was a hint to chicago as well.

I live on the south side - lighten up Francis; or at least put your hood on when you make your lovely generalizations. I’ve damn happy we didn’t get the Olympics, but no need for you to talk so ignorant.

Rio’s film is the best so far. Whistling, great vistas, music with latin beat. I like Rio’s film. Cool Ipanema like song. There’s Jesus.

Bush’s fault. Expect to hear that. The MSM stations here are blaming on “anti-American” sentiment.

"..the Europeans threw him under the bus."

They were just like everyone else giving the benefit of the doubt. We all know who and what he is now. Pictures of he and his friends decades long project, Chicago, do not paint a pretty picture. Pretty words...ugly reality. All of the money that they have been taking has not found it's intended mark. Someone must have decided that the city of Chicago has been robbed enough. Good on them.

Kanye West’s tour cancelled. He ruined Taylor Swift’s MTV moment and said Bush hates white people.

That is an excellent point and does show how odumbo views Afghanastan. I actually think Odumbo is afraid to make a decision about Afghanastan.
If you look at his entire history, that we know, Odumbo has never made decisions.

I am hoping the MSM will actually pay attention to how he treated a 4 star
