IOC Makes History - And Humiliates Obama - As Rio de Janeiro Is Awarded 2016 Olympics
By MAIL FOREIGN SERVICE 02nd October 2009
Rio de Janeiro is to host the first Olympic Games in South America. International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge made the announcement in Copenhagen today, to the bitter humiliation of Barack Obama.
The U.S. president was embarrassed on the world stage after the IOC rejected his very personal bid for the 2016 Olympic Games to be hosted in his home town of Chicago.

I just cannot stop laughing....
All that arrogance has a way of catching up with a person.
Maybe he needs to come back to town and deal with Afghanistan, GM Motors needs his expertise, and the healthcare needs his guidance. HELP is on the way.
See what happens Obama when you step outside ACORN’s influence?.....Your ass is handed to you on a platter.
Wonder if those “Jungle Boogie” beatdowns on You tube had anything to do with it.....
I just cannot stop enjoying this news.
I was hoping it would be Rio, but more importantly I was hoping it would NOT be Chicago. Thank you IOC for deflating the Narcissist in Chief, he has one megablimp of an ego and it needed a little hindenburg action.
I guess ACORN doesn’t have much of an organization in Copenhagen.
TWO VIEWS:
The talking heads were saying that Chicago was in the bag, and that Obama (& his wife) would not have gone there personally if it wasn’t a sure thing. His handlers had it set up so he would come home in a great triumph while the MSM fawned at his feet....’Obama the Great’! But that video of a boy being beaten to death by Chicago ‘Yoots’ killed the deal.
Another view is that Mayor Daley, who is no stranger to political arm twisting, knows a lot of Obama’s dark secrets, and told Obama to get his ass over there and get the Olympics for Chicago, or else. It’s how politics works in Chicago. And as Obama knows Chicago Politics all to well , it wasn’t a matter of saying NO to Daley. When Daley told Obama to jump, Obama will only ask “How high?”.
Regardless of which view is the correct one, Obama has lost some serious prestige in the World view and here at home.
‘THE EGO HAS LANDED’ has become his new tag.

> The U.S. president was embarrassed on the world stage
He is an EMBARRASSMENT on the world stage!
* Bowing to a murdering Saudi “prince”
* Apologizing for America defending itself.
* Giving aid and comfort to our country’s ENEMIES! (TREASON!)
* Offending and alienating our country’s friends.
* Declaring conservatives as terrorists.
* Spending hundreds of millions to give terrorists new lives
living permanently on tax payer money in vacation spots that the average American can only dream of visiting.
* Appointing foul-mouthed communist, islamist, jew-hating, anti-American RADICALS to rule over us as “Tsars” outside the purview of Constitutional constraints.
He’s more than simply an embarassment.
He’s a treasonous COMMUNIST.
He is an ENEMY.
First round:
Madrid 28 votes;
Rio de Janeiro 26;
Tokyo 22;
Chicago 18 (Chicago eliminated).
Second round:
Rio 46;
Madrid 29;
Tokyo 20 (Tokyo eliminated)
Final round:
Rio 66;
Madrid 32 (Rio to host 2016 Games)
This has been the BEST day since last November.
Between MO’s ‘sacrifice’ and his apologizing to the IOC once again, there’s no way any American should have been supporting the Chicago bid. I really DO feel sorry for the few good and decent folks left in the Windy City who didn’t elect these clowns.
Schadenfreude
