Chicago booted early from Olympic consideration.
« on: October 02, 2009, 01:06:30 PM »
Poor Barack and his buddies. There will be no multi million dollar profits from hosting the Olympics in 2016. The star power of Oph, the Sasquatch and the president of the former world's only superpower could not sway the Olympic commitee like the sheep in the election. How racist that commitee must be.

The Olympics go to Rio, by the way. Maybe they were concerned about security in Chicago.

Can't say that I am surprised, but some of the tv anchors were.

It's too bad it happened so soon... I really hoped he would have invested much more in an olympic defeat.

Who is 'the Sasquatch' ? I think I know...I'm going to steal that and pretend I came up with that one.

The Sasquatch now that is funny I like it.  Truly fitting the walk and the build. ROFL :D ;D

Yeah, wouldn't that have sucked if we could've gone to see the Olympics?

I'm not sure that Chicago could have afforded it anyway, their budget is in much worse shape then Omaha's. 
It may have been nice to be able to make an 8 hour drive to see the Olympics, but there will always be chances in the future.

Yeah, definitely true. There's pretty much no way around losing money when you host the Olympics. Oh well.

I gave old Chicago Mayor Daley a call yesaterday with a suggestion... I told him he needed to get a new spokesman. The Mesiah and the Oprah couldn't pull it off this time.  Mmm Mmm Mmm..

He did put "the full weight of the White House" behind his pitch, the international community knows what most Americans are just finding out, he's a joke...

I find it funny that ANYBODY was suprised by this.......... just ask yourself:  Do you want to take a vacation to Rio, or Chicago?

Chicago is 1/2 a BILLION in Debt, vs. Rio, which pledged to spend 14 BILLION on facilities (and Brazil's Booming economy makes this entirely possible.

The US has hosted 2 Olympic Games recently, and the whole flippin' Continent  of  South America has NEVER had  ONE.

Why are these people suprised? 


Because their Messiah failed.

The US has actually hosted 4 Summer Olympics the most of any country in modern Olympic history.

Blame it on Rio! Ha

I really do think Rio deserved it, since the entire continent of South America has not had an Olympic event yet.
Chicago is a mess and is drounding in violence and political corruption. Having the Olympics there would have just awarded their outrageous behavior. No money for Chicago until they throw the parasite politicians out and bring some real solutions.
I am glad that the one who thinks he is president has received another let down.
