Top 10 Reasons Chicago Didn't Get the Olympics

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.

Yeah, those same anti-American sentiments that allowed Chicago to even make the final four cities, WHILE Bush was still in office.

Bush got Chicago to the Final Four,
Obama got Chicago kicked out the door...

Some more help needed here. I can not see a piece of Portmerion porcelian without thinking of “The Prisoner”. What is that about?

10. Chicago is considered a dirty, crime ridden city.

9. The Chicago criminal enterprise could not keep their hands off.

8. The other countries involved are non-partisan & non political.

7. Obama interjected himself in the process.

6. Michelle interjected herself in the process.

5. Oprah interjected herself in the process.

4. Obama spoke badly of American exceptionalism while he was there.

3. Michelle Obama’s sacrifice statement showed she did not want to be there and was an insult to the IOC.

2. Obama & Michelle made the whole trip about them and it showed.

1. Obama and Michelle lack influence at home and the results translated abroad.

The only reason is the salesman couldn’t stop talking about himself and apologizing for his products many defects.

Portmerion was the 'set' for The Prisoner.
