The fucking democrats are blaming Bush because Obama was not able to land The Olympics for Chicago.

Even after the IOC has made it harder for Heads of State like Obama to try to sway them.

Bush's fault? I thought that US losing olympics was a positive thing, how could something positive be somebodys fault? Watching American right wingers erupt in cheers when Chicago lost was quite surreal.

Don't you know?

If a Grade 5 level clerk puts a decimal point in the wrong place today, it will be Bush's fault.

Yes, but decimal point is in a wrong place. What's wrong about Amrica losing? Nothing, according to US cons, it is entirely positive. How could a triumph like that be anybodys fault?

I agree. We don't deserve it again so soon.

The only reason Obama wanted it so bad was so his Chicago buddies could get richer off it.

"Union League Club of Chicago
Chicago, Illinois


11:35 A.M. CST

THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank the members of the 2016 Chicago bid to get the Olympics. Listen, Mr. Mayor, you and your committee have put together a great plan. It's a plan that will make America proud.

They say that the Olympics will come to Chicago if we're fortunate enough to be selected, but really it's coming to America, and I can't think of a better city to represent the United States than Chicago.


This is a well thought out venue. There will be -- the athletes will be taken care of. People who will be coming from around the world will find this good city has got fantastic accommodations, great restaurants. It will be safe.

And so I -- this country supports your bid, strongly. And our hope is that the judges will take a good look at Chicago and select Chicago for the 2016 Olympics.

Thank you all. "

TRANSLATION: "caught in my hipocrisy, I thought of something Obama did which Bush didnt do, so that I then can argue theres a DIFFERENCE. I thought of lots of differences. They didnt have the same breakfast; they didn't wear the same clothes, Bush isnt black; bush didnt go to Europe; I wont tell anyone which one I chose though, because I like to keep that secret for as long as possible so that after 5 threads of flamewars I can tell everyone they're retarded for not guessing my secret! I'm so good at debating!"

You did post your name change where? When? Because when you are addressed as a certain name you don't know who they are speaking of.

Besides when was the last time you debated anything? 2003?

Let's get down to the real issue. The reason people have a problem with Obama as the salesman for the olympics isn't because it is an inapproprate role for the president, but because the city was Chicago. Had it either been a city that was not Obama's home town or with a reputation for an extreme level of corruption then this wouldn't have been an issue. The appearance is that this was Obama trying to help his buddys make some money as payment for helping get him to where he is at. Right or wrong, that is the way it looks.

Any sane president would have put forth an equal amount of effort to get the Olympics in any US city.

The olymics are worth hundreds of millions in free advertising and local commerce, not to mention moral booster. Any patriotic american would have thought its the perfect thing for a US city in times like these.

But noooo.. Somehow Obama knew that he would be president while the Olympics were being bid on by Chicago, and used this knowledge to get a bunch of friends into politics there so he could funnel money to them around 8-10 years later.

Or however long the International Olympic Committee takes to go from initial bids to picks.
