Maybe the IOC didn’t like listening to him read his speech from his teleprompter with the huge picture of Obama behind him — not Chicago but Obama? :)

Chicago torpedoed itself. Hard to put a spin on the local traditions such as beating people to death with 2x4’s.

I am sooo tired of these whining libs!

Note to Chicago:

Your city is riddled with corruption and crime, Clean It Up!

Did it ever dawn on them that this past week’s (black on black violence) school yard beating might have scared and disgusted some folks? I know it sickened me.

Maybe Chicago just wasn’t qualified . . . or was the least qualified?

Oh yeah, that’s right . . in Obama’s and Jesse’s et al world merit doesn’t count

Maybe Rio de Janeiro presented a better plan?

Everyone seems to be assuming that the decision was a personal affront to Obama. That just tells us how much Obama's cult of personality has grown.

Anti-American sentiment? Yeah. Could be. After all, BO has been really putting the bad mouth on America for the past two years.

However, it also could have been that BO didn't show up early enough to allow enough time for the "Obama Tingle" to kick in with the IOC.

The Chicago state run media is working overtime to try and provide cover for Obama’s big time embarrassment. Sorry guys only the left wing nut jobs will fall for it.

But this isn't the people of those countries. This is the leaders still living with outdated impressions of Americans."

Wrong, Rep. Mendoza the leaders have an up to date impressions of Americans. After all, our president has spent the last 9 months traveling the world and telling everyone who would listen how terrible the USA is, that we suck as a nation and how arrogant we are. Is it any wonder that after all the derogatory commentary by him, that when Obama shows up in Copenhagen asking for the Olympics to be awarded to Chicago, that he is turned down?

Sad as it may be, I was actually happy to see America lose because in losing we won!!!

"Some Chicago officials say"

"Some Say.." is a common code for "One of our editors". It's used by Vinegar Spills like Couric all the time.

Is there anything more pathetically imbecile than a liberal??? The world, you stupid morons, doesn’t need to love us — as long as we are the best and most powerful and most prosperous nation on the face of the earth, they NEVER WILL — the world NEEDS TO RESPECT, AND YES, YES, YES, EVEN FEAR US, for there to be peace in the world.
