The City of Chicago was eliminated in the first round of voting, before any host city was selected.
An expert called it the "biggest shock in IOC history."
Supporters gathered in Chicago were equally shocked. Many left the rally in tears.

Obama need a victory, ANY VICTORY.
He thought this was a slam dunk based on the mere wonderfulness of being Obama.

All I ask for a a true and honest (if that is not redundant!) of this "excercise" to the American Public. I'd be interested to also know who has personal vested interests in the possible favorable outcome for this adventure, specifically relating to the possible sale of real estate and other servicees should the Chicago Olympic Committee - 2016 be successful.
That's all I ask. Starting to think of the length of time a snow flake or many snow flakes can survive in Hell while I await the answer to the forgoing questions.
When will someone in the "main stream" news business address any of these questions and share the results with us.
Don’t they know you don’t make a big deal out of a thing like this unless you already know you are gonna win?!
This is very telling.
I love it..one group of America-hating socialists screwing over another bunch of America-hating socialists...PRICELESS!
Watch 0bama interrupt Beck’s show today with comments from the WH.
Barack Obama Failure!.... mmm-mmm-mmm!
The Acorn and SEIU thugs are demanding a recount and maybe a recall of the committee.
I never watch MSNBC but the meltdown is fun.
Not only did they reject her fashion, they rejected her daddy!
If there's anything to my theory, it may be evidenced by a severe reduction in Obama's future jaunts abroad.......just thinking, thats all.
Hey, the Olympic Committee is a bunch of racists, don’t you know. That’s why Obama got kicked in the butt, because their all a bunch of racists.
They’re already trying to spin it in CNN, Axelrod was out there telling Tony Harris “We don’t know the dynamics or the politics of the IOC.” Really Mr. Axelrod? You don’t? Then if so, why waste the POTUS’s time and send him on a fool’s errand..we kinda need him here, making decisions for once...like about Afghanistan?
How appropriate. Chicago went down in the first round. Michelle + Oprah * Zero will always be Zero.
On to RIO.
