Damn fool Obama forgot to bring his Chicago Union Thugs from the SCIU with him, a couple of missing digits from those IOC twits and the vote for Chicago would have been unanimous.

LOL! I hope you all read some of AP’s early reports, they made it sound like the Hindenburg caught fire.

I vaguely remember Obama the candidate predicting how sweet it would be to host the Olympics as he cruised to the end of his second presidential term. LOL! One down, one to go!

Usually the president only shows up for the signing photo op AFTER the agreement has been reached. He obviously thought he was going to win. Either he was double-crossed, played like a sucka, or those speeches he and Michelle gave convinced a whole lot of people to vote Rio
He expected that they would be awed from he stepped down from AF1 and worship at his feet

the whole city of Chicago must be on drugs to even think they had a chance at getting the game

I wonder if Chicago would have had a better chance had the "O's" not become involved!

I have viewed the video.
I think the award of the Olympic Games to Chicago would have cause a lot of stress eventually to the "little guy. " Olympics are murder on neighborhoods that do not have clout and power. Vancouver, Canada has the Winter Olympics for 2010. People are getting hurt by draconian methods to put on a clean happy face already. The druggies and losers getting free accomodation to get them "off the streets"- moving them into neighborhoods who have no real say.
I congratulate the crowd in Chicago on their demeanor following their cities rejection. They did show a bit of class- I am sincere in this.
Flame retardant gear on.
