I wonder if he was setup? ie: THE IOC heads told him it was in the bag if he showed up and gave a speech. Just to say, "Sucker!" when he did....

The Obama-card is no longer any effective, it already lost it's left charm in the O-care and Afghanistan rhetoric...not to mention those countless smaller scandals like the immunity to torture, inciting racism etc.

O-card could have regained some lost 'balance' with a war...which too appears to have been thwarted.

Rio is only 2 hours off of my time zone - that makes it much easier to watch than Tokyo.

The one thing I don't get is that these are summer Olympics - and held 8/5 to 8/21 2016. That should be winter there. Anybody know what Rio's Augusts are like?

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

In related news, a surprise announcement from the DOD has found Brazil added to the list of countries that are part of the Axis of Evil.

Yes, they clearly have been developing WMDs. They may deny it, but of course that's what they'd say -- are you willing to risk innocent kids getting vaporized in a nuclear holocaust? We need to take them out now!! Only when we have cameras in every home, place of business, and outhouse, when everyone's communications are being monitored, and when every brown person who doesn't welcome our hegemony (or lives near one who doesn't) has been blown up, will freedom truly be secure!

Dammit you terrorist sympathizers ... we don't have time to discuss this. They're probably shipping the WMD's into Peru and Paraguay as we waste time valuable time!

No charges of racism yet?

Why are we happy about this?

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.

Chicago sucks

 

[BlackTerrel]

Chicago is a shitty city, who in their right mind would want to go there instead of some tropical party city like Rio De Janeiro?

Chicago is pretty awesome actually.
