Chicago is out
- Thread starter danmand

i can't imagine the IOC members would give a shit about Oprah. But yeah...what a stunner about Chicago.
there is a large anti american sentiment in the IOC the big reason they get the olympics is the tv revenue, gettint the olympics into the same time zone as the states is a bonus
Good, as much as like Obama he had no business going all the way there to make his little speech. Times are tight now and many people are cutting back but he is in his own little world not trying to save any $$$. Plus he had to drag his wife along.
Probably why they lost. Americans have no clue how negatively the rest of world view them. They think it's because of Bush only. Clueless.
What, the One couldn't bring it home for Chicago.... probably best.
I hope Rio get's it, Brazil deserves a shot.
OTB

Now the government can get back to fixing the shitty mess in the US. Save the money for the really important stuff.
Obama, Chicago.....and Obama, Japan both lost. LOL. We can blame Oprah Winfrey F'n it up, that fat overpaid piece of media shit. She pumped Obama and really, her Enron style power should be exposed. Maybe she was one of the women Letterman laid?
This will go down as a huge embarrasement for Obama, however. This does not secure his second term in office. If he got it, it probably would have secured that as a political slogan in the re-election campaign, a good send-off after 8 years.
This is a Republican win.
I hate to say it, BUT, he probably would have got it.
Gyaos Baltar.

Yep, anything bad happening to the USA is a republican win. You people are
insanely insane.
It will be an election slogan in Republican attack ads. "Obama couldn't even get the Olympics and your tax dollars paid the way for his failure." I see it coming.

What a joy, Hurrah Hurrah. Now, if you can somehow get the taliban and others to kill a lot of
american soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq things will be looking up.
God bless America.
Had to have pissed off Oprah. She now knows she can not buy an Olympics.
Rio was the better choice.

The USA have gotten the games so many times it would have been so unfair not to give the games to Rio which never had them.
No GWB would not have got the games either but would have drawn mass protest there, lol.
Chicago may have gotten second place thou if Obama stayed away. He was like bulling them and they told him off.

He did what Oprah wanted him to do. Sorta makes you wonder what else she wants him to do.
She did back his run for President.
Only once Hillary was out, she was too worry to upset her fans by not backing Hillary so she stayed on the sidelines until Obama got the nomination.
Well Chicago was Obama's hometown but no US president ever went in person to ask for the games like he did and today the employment numbers came out that were very poor but where was Obama, out wasting time and money.
He could have just sent his wife and Oprah but nooooo he thought he had to go too.
