Their contrived IOC bid reeked with self-centeredness. The “I grew up in the neighborhood” thingy, as the Euro-audience winced.
Bragging about your Chicago childhood to an audience exposed to horrific Chi/go street fighting, and murder....I mean, please.
“You can play a great game and still not win”....Ohaha said on the loss....without a shred of introspection.
Ohaha actually justified his stupid bid for "diversity games," Mrs O's ridiculous "sacrifice trip to Denmark".....two planeloads of cronies looking to make a buck, all financed by taxpayers.
One of Ohaha's stupidest remarks to the IOC: "using the Olympics to improve America's image."
.......as if America has something to be ashamed of.
Only an America-hater like Ohaha would think, and actually say, something so heinous.
““You can play a great game and still not win”....Ohaha said on the loss....without a shred of introspection. “
Narcissism and introspection are pretty much mutually exclusive. Methinks the IOC resented the “strong arm” tactics, and Obama’s love of self.
“”using the Olympics to improve America’s image.” “
This would merely foster a deeper contempt from the IOC.
“It was corporate America all the way,” said the consultant who has worked on numerous Olympics bids but asked not to be named. He said everyone from Chicago 2016 CEO Patrick Ryan to Mayor Richard Daley and even President Obama was stiff and seemingly unaware they weren’t politicking in an American election but rather in the international sports world.
“When the president said, ‘I urge you to vote for America,’ I thought, ‘Oh no.’ How do you have one of the most dynamic speakers say these things? It was unnatural,” he said.
