Sheesh, Obama goes for a “little” win, and is totally snubbed.

I figured the fix was in or he would never have done it. I think I overestimate the guy.

What an idiot to put so much political capital on this. The pattern of incompetence continues.

Keep talking BO. You’re the best spokesperson for the opposition regarding any position you support.

CHICAGO ELIMINATED FROM THE 2016 HOST CITY VOTE

The vote closes and the scrutineers are now checking the results. If there is no majority for one city, remember, the city with the least votes will drop out and another vote will take place.

There’s so much more to being the POTUS than being an Alinsky-style “community organizer.”

In this case, it's more and more likely that Rio de Janeiro will win. And it will win with one VERY good reason: because Rio is only one time zone ahead of the US Eastern Time Zone, that means just about every event during the Games can be broadcast live to at least the eastern half of the USA.

(An expert called it the “biggest shock in IOC history.” Supporters gathered in Chicago were equally shocked. Many left the rally in tears.) - Oh brother, talk about ego! Who gives a s*** where the Olympics are? I’m glad they’re not coming to the US. Now that this is over, the POTUS has nothing to do and no where to go...

Since Drudge put that photo up immediately, you can BET that he had at least two pics on file, ready to go as soon as the news broke. Obama won; Obama lost; and maybe another for suspense, if Chicago stayed in another round or two.

But this couldn’t be better. Obama lost in the first round!

Ditto. I just assumed Obama knew what he was doing.

We give these guys way too much credit sometimes.
