JDW -- ha ha. Yes, sounds like racism to me. What else could it be?
I mean who couldn't fail to be impressed by a plea from the President of the United States that they should be in Chicago so HE can walk three blocks to see the games.
This is like the one Tongo sprinter being eliminated in the first of 20 heats in the Olympic 100 meters.
Liberal nutjobs shouting 'racist conspiracy' to anyone criticising Barack Obama are all WACKY... RACERS
Speaking of cold and dark -- if Rio de Janiero wins the Summer games, then they are actually going to take place in the middle of the winter. Brazil is in the Southern Hemisphere. Not that it's going to be cold (temps are Hi-78, lo-67 in August), but it will definitely be dark.

I'm sure it's latitude was taken into consideration. Rio is 23 degrees South, about where the Bahamas are North so the amount of day light during its winter will be about the same as the Bahamas during the Northern Hemisphere winter.

Good point. Thinking of North and South America, I unconsciously visualize the equator at the midpoint of the two continents, when it's actually far south, well into S.A.

Oh yeah, as if ANY President wouldn't have been lobbying hard for the Olympics if we made it to the final group. You guys are so stupid it makes me sick.
The difference frankmer, is that Pres. Obama and his followers think he can solve all the world's problems by his mere presence. This is a major blow to his image, not to mention his ego.
Of course, he can always say he did his best. :)
"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out
of other people's money."
Today the world is laughing at Obama, the plan was to do that to Bush. Obama hangs by a thread in the US because of news media support yet people realize what a clod he is.
It was a slim chance for Chicago. The recent beating death, the high crime rates, etc. are too recently in the headlines. Couple to that the fact North America has had too many of them here in the past 30 years compared to South America, for instance, and the odds were never good.
Any President would have made an improptu press statement about how wonderful it would be if, "the great city of Chicago were to be chosen," and that he was going to support it any way he could from the Office of the President.
Then he should have shipped a group of beggers and greasers to try and finesse the outcome with his official blessings. If we got it he can take credit for supporting the effort. If it failed, he gets to stand back and say he supported it, but it wasn't his fault.
That's what Any President would have done. But not The Ego.
This just means that the crime lords of Chicago will just have to travel to Madrid or Rio instead. Since the Mahdi's aministration is no longer funding ACORN (AKA "NUTS") he can now filter money into a special "Chicago Cronie Account" that can be drawn on for such things as shuttle services via Air Force One to the Olympics.
You see, Chicago STILL wins!

AND it would have had the 1976 Winter Games had CO not rejected them.

So, does that mean Obama's cronies who bought up land in Chicago and ran down the apartments located on the site where the stadium was planned are going to declare bankruptcy?
It seems Mayor Daley's doubledown has gone bust and hopefully it will take a number of corrupt politicians and political operatives like Jarrett with him.
I am glad that Chicago didn't get it. I know that my taxes won't be going there to pay for the building of venues-venues that would have been built using union contracts that would be rife with corruption.
It really is Bush's fault even though it was not him who ran all over the world talking trash about America. Would you want to come here after listening to all that?

Europe's thugs (Olympic Committee? Fraud and corruption) are rejecting Obama. Can the idiot proletarians be far behind? It depends if their left wing news media can maintain control of the information highway.
So how much did this failure cost the American taxpayer? Just think of ALL the starving children that could have been fed with the money Obama waisted on his failed salesmanship!

Hello Rick - been around. I just do not have as much time these days to peruse this fine site. I am glad that college sports is back in full swing. Enjoy the w/e.
I love this! Obamessiah thought he could jet over to Copenhagen, full of charm (and himself), cast his spell on the IOC and get the 2016 Olympics for his corrupt cronies in Chicago, and he goes down in flames!!! Chicago is eliminated in the first round! Wasn't even close!!
I don't really care why the IOC rejected "O" and Co...I'm just glad they did...Chicago is a mess and can't afford the games, and it's just icing on the cake that Obama finally had someone say NO to him...Can't wait to hear how they try to spin this... ;)
Love it!!!
"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan
over this...The mood over at MSNBC is funereal...They're practically passing around the kleenex over there...They are all undoubtedly thinking, "How could this be??? The Annointed One lost...How could this be???"
Hilarious.
PS...I'm glad that Rio got it...That part of the world has never had an Olympics, so it seems fair and about time.
"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan
You ain't seen nothing yet. Comcast is in negotations to buy NBC from GE. Let's hope if they do they drop this piece of crap network. You'll really see some crying then.
Semper suprene nitens
OBAMACARE: If it ain't good enough for my Congressman then it ain't good enough for me.
Comcast is after NBC? That is interesting... Can't imagine why, from a business perspective, they'd opt to keep MSNBC going since all it does is lose money...Of course, if the powers-that-be at Comcast lean left, they may keep it going as a Dem/left propaganda arm, just as it is now.
"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan
hahahahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I almost choked on my Deer Jerky when they announced that Chicacago lost in the first round. Rahm hand me a tissue. They rejected me I'm the One! How dare they defy me. It was the right wingers I tell ya they did this to me. Oh wait a minute we can pin this on Mayor Dailey yeah it's his fault! That's the ticket!!!!!
all the clowns over at Daily Kos who are complaining we are "un-American." That's not it, you morons.
Rio out-bid us and besides, it's well known the IOC is corrupt. The other thing is that South America has never hosted the Olympics. The World Cup sites are rotated. That's why it's in South Africa in 2010.
Obama's hubris got in the way. He figured his charm would help. Well, so much for his charm.
When will the madness end? Hopefully, January 20, 2013.
Rush Limbaugh just made an excellent point. Who would want to award the US the Olympics honor with the lousy speeches the Obamas made. The speeches were all about them and not how great the US is. Michelle talked about how her father had MS and Barack talked about how it would be right near his house and his daughters could walk outside and greet people. These two are so narcissistic.
Yeah, like people going to the Olympics care about being "greeted" by "The One's" daughters...NEWSFLASH! People wouldn't be going to Chicago to see you, your kids or your militant, America-hating wife...They would have been going to see the games...
"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan
It's definitely not a good day for Chicago, the Carbon Market tanked. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/01/carbon-credit-market-imploding-ccx-now-10-cents-a-tonne/
It seems some more of Obama's cronies are losing money.
I must give thanks to kata, who so ably stood in for me while I went to Costco.
I, as the fashion police would have reported:
Mrs. Obama, ever the fashion statement, wore a Tartan Plaid Horse Blanket to ensure Barack, Oprah, and MO win the Olympic Derby.
Updated: Unfortunately, the dream team pulled up lame, yet again, and lost, sixteen lengths behind, to old hands Spain, Tokyo, and the newcomer, Rio. In retrospect, MO stated that she should have worn the Danish national colors, instead, for that extra little bounce. That, and she's never covering her arms again.
My first thought when I saw "Access Denied" was that Obama's Internet commie-czar was toying with his nifty new net-wrecking software, and then I saw "troll" in the address bar and laughed.

On his radio show Hannity was convinced that Obama had made a deal with the IOC to get the Olympics. He couldn't imagine that this guy would put his rep on the line if it wasn't a sure thing. I think it's fairly clear now that Obama is the biggest rookie to ever get into the WH and he's in way, way over his head.
I love it, daughtry! BTW, congrats on your third birthday here at NB. That's quite a milestone, you should have your own kiss-uh, forum thread about it.

October 2, 2009 - 11:46 ET by PrairieSkyI love this! Obamessiah thought he could jet over to Copenhagen, full of charm (and himself), cast his spell on the IOC and get the 2016 Olympics for his corrupt cronies in Chicago, and he goes down in flames!!! Chicago is eliminated in the first round! Wasn't even close!!
I don't really care why the IOC rejected "O" and Co...I'm just glad they did...Chicago is a mess and can't afford the games, and it's just icing on the cake that Obama finally had someone say NO to him...Can't wait to hear how they try to spin this... ;)

Rio out-bid us and besides, it's well known the IOC is corrupt. The other thing is that South America has never hosted the Olympics. The World Cup sites are rotated. That's why it's in South Africa in 2010.
Obama's hubris got in the way. He figured his charm would help. Well, so much for his charm.

Michelle talked about how her father had MS and Barack talked about how it would be right near his house and his daughters could walk outside and greet people. These two are so narcissistic.
Gotham...I heard that, too...
October 2, 2009 - 12:35 ET by PrairieSkyYeah, like people going to the Olympics care about being "greeted" by "The One's" daughters...NEWSFLASH! People wouldn't be going to Chicago to see you, your kids or your militant, America-hating wife...They would have been going to see the games...
