Headline says it all. Madrid, Rio and Tokyo still in the running.
LOL.
Then add MO's comments at the UN meeting, telling people she was going after them, taking no prisoners. Add the fact that Chicago's crime rate is horrendous, infested with gangs. The only thing they could do was show the city sky line on the lake. Big deal. As if that's pretty. give me a break. The Olympics would have been relatively close to the South side of Chicago and I don't think that appealed to anyone, no matter what MO or Bo said.
I think their overbearing manner, the fact that they made it all about them was blatantly obvious. Also, I don't think Daley sitting there helped any. It's not like the rest of the world doesn't read the news. Chicago thuggery is well known outside of the United States. It would have been a multi billion dollar pay to play and people like Jarret, Axelrod, Emanuel and BO and MO would have all benefited down the road. A great way to use tax payer dollars and funnel them into the cesspool aka corrupt Chi Town political machine
That said, in a way I hoped that they would get it. For one reason. It would have been funny to watch the money trail and there might have been some explosive things there. I really think BO was secretly hoping that they didn't get it. I think people focused on Chicago and the Daley machine for the next few years, was the last thing he wanted.
MO wanted it, her pal Valerie really wanted it, Daley really wanted it, not so sure mmm Barack Hussein Obama mmm, did.
Glad Rio got it. It's beautiful there, will be fun to watch. Chicago...NOT!
Actually he’s one guy in a very large group of people and I don’t know him all that well. Was at his house one night with our neighbors who introduced us to him and he said that just as we were walking out the door for the night. My jaw and my husbands just about hit the floor, but I didn’t say anything since I was in his house.
I’m sorry, I know I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but what do you mean?
They will want to shut everyone up as a result of their own failures. And it will hopefully amplify the distaste that America has for national socialism.
I am all for irritating them all to hail!
Sarah Palin could have gotten the Olympics for ANYTOWN in America.
This was never about the Olympics - it was always about laundering federal dollars to build up Chicago and Jarrett’s bank account.
______________
BINGO!
No, it’s not photo shopped but it wasn’t taken in Denmak. It’s an old photo.
When did sour grapes turn yellow?
OMG, LOL!!!
Wanna talk about me, wanna talk about I, wanna talk about number one...blah blah blah. O is for Oliminated
He may have accidentally saved the American taxpayers some money.
"The contest lasted four years and endured several stumbling blocks. But many believed that when Obama elected to go to Copenhagen to deliver the closing remarks of Chicago's final presentation, the move would seal the deal to send the games to Chicago."
Another 'inheritance' from George W. Bush. Obama really, really tried, but the damage Bush did was too much for even someone with Obama's awesome intelligence, charisma, popularity, and rhetorical skills to overcome. It's Bush's fault, you know.
Lol, I like it. You did an outstanding job on his mouth!
Thanks.
Hindsight is 20-20, but it still looks unnatural. The chin should drop and nose should scrunch when the mouth opens wide. I’m always in too much of a hurry to notice those details until after I post. LOL
Although my name is not Francis, I promise to lighten up.
In turn, I suggest you drop the ad-hominum insults.
Gosh, he really looks evil in that huge one frame size.
Your text is great devolve.
[The chin should drop and nose should scrunch ]
...and the cheeks move and the eyebrows rise, lol. we just can’t do all of that. I watched it over and over and thought it looked really good.
Brazilian President to Zero: Take a good look, that's as close as you are going to get to Brazilian gold.
Zero oogles Brazilian President's 13 yr old daughter. Maybe Polanski has a chance at a pardon after all.
