Chicago torpedoed by anti-U.S. sentiment?

[RED SOUTH]

Some Chicago officials say anti-American resentment likely played a role in Chicago's Olympic bid dying in the first round Friday.

President Obama could not undo in one year the resentment against America that President Bush and others built up for years, they said.

"There must be" resentment against America, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, near the stage where he had hoped to give a victory speech in Daley Center Plaza. "The way we [refused to sign] the Kyoto Treaty, we misled the world into Iraq. The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us. But there was such a turnaround after last November. The world now feels better about America and about Americans.

They wouldn’t want to go to Chicago as they know its a mafia like place! O was not and is not qualified to be President, we all know that!! Seems like everything he touches gets screwed up! Oh my goodness, how I dislike this man. I hate to say but this is one time I rooted against Chicago getting the Olympics. I love my country but not the man who ‘some’ voted to make him President. What a shame!

Things, they are a’changin!!!!

[going hot]

What was cool was watching the main olympic dude, the one who announces, he was reading his paper, then made a point to look up to the tv monitor, and said that Chicago, getting the least amount of votes, is out in the first round..

That is like going for a job interview, and the boss saying,"because your resume is the worst one of the lot, you don't get the gig."

Lol

ROTFLMAO - Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off...

[They wouldn’t want to go to Chicago as they know its a mafia like place!]

I know. I saw an article yesterday, maybe on Drudge, that Rio is trying to clean up its crooks, etc. Imagine there are many there.

We all ‘can't stand’ Obama, lol.

Good to ‘see’ you Jaycee!

It was a rowdy mean group of Chicago teens Hitting each other’s heads with big wooden beams A well founded fear

I have to admit - that made Chicago look bad. Those kids were having a good time killing an innocent student. They were creepier than the ACORN losers.

Well said! Those fat cats probably had the bulldozers ready to go, clearing out neighborhoods to build sporting facilities like the Chicoms did in Beijing-I’m glad that arrogant peckerhead and his Amazon woman got their ears pinned back!

The IOC’s decision was based on safety, it seemsHardly. Rio has something like the highest murder rate on earth--about 8000 a year.

Rio has better hookers.

[Brilliant]

Wasn’t it Obama who spent the last 9 months demeaning the US in every speech he made? Apologizing left and right?

And wasn’t it the Dems who for the previous 8 years constantly attacked the good name of the US in an effort to demonize Bush?

[Kickass Conservative]

Using Common Sense has nothing to with it. Let me give you an example.

On his last day in office, President Clinton issued an Executive Order reducing the amount of Cyanide allowed in public drinking water to a ridiculous minuscule level that would have Bankrupted many small local Water Agencies.

The allowable level before Clinton made the change had no adverse effects to anyone consuming the water, but the Leftist Envirowacks were thrilled.

When President Bush took office, he reviewed the impact of Clinton's action and reversed it. Wanna guess what happened?

Well, Terry McCauliff, the head of the DNC at the time, got on TV and said that President Bush wanted to poison his, and everyone elses children when he reversed the Clinton Order.

Did anyone question Terry's outrageous attack on President Bush or ask him why Clinton would wait until his last day in office to make the change when he could have done it years before? Of course not. It didn't fit the agenda. Clinton only did it to trap President Bush.

Get it? Check my tagline and hope and pray I'm wrong when the 2012 Presidential Election comes along.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

I knew they would. LOL. Lie-berals are so predictable.

“Rio has better hookers.”

There it is!

A dirty little fact is that we now have a pResident who is such a wuss that no other country has any fear, let alone respect for us.

Obama is the 98-lb weakling on the beach that the rest of the world is lining up for in order to kick sand in his pathetic face.

All crimes of passion, not just for fun.

It's got me laughing. These DemonRAT kids say the darndest things: “Mama, I put this green stuff all over the walls because fluffy ate my sandwich.”

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Friendly old girl of a town
‘Neath her tavern light
On this merry night
Let us clink and drink one down
To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Salty old queen of the sea
Once I sailed away
But I’m home today
Singing Copenhagen, wonderful, wonderful
Copenhagen for me
I sailed up the Skagerrak
And sailed down the Kattegat
Through the harbor and up to the quay
And there she stands waiting for me
With a welcome so warm and so gay
Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Friendly old girl of a town
‘Neath her tavern light
On this merry night
Let us clink and drink one down
To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Salty old queen of the sea
Once I sailed away
But I’m home today
Singing Copenhagen, wonderful, wonderful
Copenhagen for me
