10. Dead people can't vote at IOC meetings
9. Obama distracted by 25 min meeting with Gen. McChrystal
8. Who cares if Obama couldn't talk the IOC into Chicago? He'll be able to talk Iran out of nukes.
7. The impediment is Israel still building settlements. 5. We've been quite clear and said all along that we didn't want the Olympics.
4. This isn't about the number of Olympics "lost", it's about the number of Olympics "saved" or "created".
3. Clearly not enough wise Latina judges on the committee
2. Because the IOC is racist.
1. It's George Bush's fault.

6. Obviously no president would have been able to accomplish it.
To: La Lydia
#4 is great!
Two other reasons floating around:
MSM says maybe it's Micheal Jordan's fault b/c he didn't go with Duh One, the Worst Lady and the Big O.
The "Great Orator" has badmouthed this country around the world for the last nine months. Perhaps the IOC believed him??!!

1. It's George Bush's fault. Deep down in my heart I wish this was so. Id like to think he and Karl Rove are sitting around laughing and high-fiving about this...
