No olympics in Chicago
Heh.
BB with the funny: The ego has landed.
Update: Ouch:
Perhaps the video of Chicago teenagers being beaten to death during gang riots had more of an impact than the celebrities Daley sent there.
Or, as Dad says, the IOC is racist.

The reason they did not choose Chicago is because the IOC are racist.

I hear that Oprah is so upset that she has eaten Denmark.

No one seems to respect or fear Obama in the rest of the world.
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Heh heh. But…but…I thought the world was nuanced!

Bush’s fault.

The IOC was obviously bribed. What could these people POSSIBLY have against holding the Olympics in Chicago? A safe, beautiful, modern city with neither crime nor corruption. Just boggles the mind, doesn’t it!

I don’t think the Chicago gang problems were a big factor. Rio has it’s share of senseless violence too.
IIRC, the police have a dedicated “flying squad” if you will, for rounding up homeless children, murdering them and hiding the bodies.

Heh. Solid gold shitters can’t buy you everything Oprah.
October 2nd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Yep like dan said, they will find some way to make this Bush’s fault.

You just wishing for Obama to fail.

“What! No world Consensus?”
“I just gave you the internets! I brought Oprah…And the best-dressed First Community-organizer in the world for Wright’s sake!”

More like crashed and burned.

I wonder if tourists can bring guns?

Ha f’ing HA! YAAAAAAH, Obama was right, the world really DOES hate us! (sarcasm). I feel another “apology tour” coming on.

Pop quiz: This ain’t ice-dancin. The largest events at a summer Olympics are shooting sports. Had Chicago (in Illinois) “got” the Olympics, where — oh, where — could those events have taken place?
Bristol Indiana seems to have been a leading candidate.

Chicago isn’t sexy.

What everyone fails to recognize is that this was a deliberate act on the part of Obama.
Barry spent an enormous amount of money, time and prestige with all the other concerns on his plate in order to throw an intentional gutterball. He needs to separate himself immediately from Daley, Rezko, Blago and the City Hall Gang that US Attorney Fitzergarald will soon begin chasing around South Dearborn Street.

This is my favorite.

See number9, Dan was right. They are blaming bush. 🙂

The Ego didn’t land. That was a crash.
Um, since the Olympics will be in the southern hemisphere, does this mean that this will now be the WINTER Olympics?

They didn’t have an event for Urban survival….
