Chicago is OUT of the running!!!

[BlackTerrel]

1) Most Chicagoans didn't want it.
2) Chicago can't afford to pay for it.
3) Some of us like to see Obama's ego get a necessary deflation.
4) South America has never hosted an Olympics.
5) U.S.A. has hosted four summer Olympics and four winter Olympics, and in the eyes of the world, already has had their share.
6) U.S.A. boycotted the 1980 Olympics for invading Afghanistan, now we are the occupiers in Afghanistan.

others feel free to add to this list.

I get a bit of an anti-American vibe on this forum at times.

When the US competes against other countries in the olympics - who do you root for?

 

[Cowlesy]

Hopefully nowhere in the U.S. gets it so we are not robbed to pay for it.

That is what it comes down to for me.

Air Force Two to Copenhagen: $1,000,000

Air Force One to Copenhagen $2,500,000

USAF military Cargo C-17s, dummy 747 aircraft, airspace lockdowns, 100's of security and staffers, SS sniper teams, assault vehicles, limo tanks, helicopters, traffic jams, area blockades: $$$$$?

Shopping in Copenhagen with Oprah and Michelle Obama $1,525,000

Oprah and Staffers Elitist demands and then trashing Danish Hotel rooms: $$$ (yes it's true)

US airport security insanity is world renowned for being the worst travel experiences on the planet with all being: Finger printed, Face Imaging, Body X-Rays... Europeans are especially horrified by all this POLICE STATE shit.

Watching these clueless Elitist Assclown leaders lose the 2016 Olympic bid in the first round.

Priceless

PS: Chicago is Shithole of; Corruption, Graft, highest priced parking, lousy delayed airports, and a frigin DEPRESSION ongoing in this country.

PSS: where would you like to go on your Olympic vacation... Chicago or Rio De Janero?

I love our country, I distrust our government, and I don't mistake my patriotism for a view that Americans because of where we happened to be born are better than the rest of the world.

Who do I cheer for?

USA! USA! USA! USA!

It is not anti-America, it is anti-government political parasite rulers of America

Chicago has no money. Daley blew out his 2008 budget by $300 million, and now Chicago is looking at over a $500 million deficit. And you're going to finance the fucking Olympics?

Plus, you have all these class-acts representing/ed Chicago:
Rod Blagojevich
Roland Burris
Mayor Daley
Rahm Emanuel
President Obama, Chief Redistributionist

The only parts of Chicago I like are Lincoln Park/Michigan Ave --- everywhere else, pack some heat.

Check this out, just like George Carlin says: Politicians, they hide behind the; The Flag, Religion, and Children.

Hey, they were just talking about this on the O'Reilly Factor with Dennis Miller.

The last good Olympics was held in Sydney Australia 2000.

I lived in Chicago for 9 years.

Not a paradise.

I was in Athens in 2004, and I beg to differ!

 

[Ozwest]

I was in Oz.

Athens...

?

 

[TER]

2004 Summer Olympic were held in Athens and exceeded all expectations!

 

[Ozwest]

I refer to popular opinion.

 

[TER]

i smell a poll approaching...

 

[Ozwest]

I am biased, but I reckon the Southern Hemisphere was well represented.

Shipping Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey to Copenhagen on Air Force Two...

2 million tax payer dollars.

Barack Obama flying to Copenhagen on Air Force One...

3 million tax payer dollars.

Hearing the head of the I.O.C. say Chicago eliminated in the first round of voting...

PRICELESS!!!


For standard every day screw-ups, you can count on the U.S. government...

For truly epic failures, count on Barack Obama!!



.

I watched this as it happened and I jumped up and yelled YESSSSS!!! And I laughed out loud! I think I scared the crap out of my 87 yr old mother in law. LOL!

 

[purplechoe]

As someone who lives in Chicago I give this news a big thumbs up!

 

[Ozwest]

It makes no sense to have the Olympics in "your town" 2012...

Who cares? I think the Olympics are way overrated and boring as shit.
