There's lots of bonfires burning on Skins's island right now, about this.

7. Jim Warren reported earlier that the "pitch" was really flat, and Obama really picked up the game.

Said Rio's pitch was much more exuberant. Mayor Daley and Jack Ryan were flat...Michelle just so-so (talked about sitting on her father's lap watching Olga and Nadia and Carl Lewis - who ran when she would have been at Princeton, according to Warren, who write for the Trib).

Ooops, looks like a primitive caught Shelley 0 in a little white lie, there.

11. The pitch was just terrible

I stayed up to watch it live. It was just awful. The President and First Lady did very well, but they couldn't make up for the lackluster presentation where the other speakers - particularly Daley and Ryan - simply sat there repeating the same two or three phrases over and over. The video presentation was inexplicable. Chicago is a beautiful city, but they kept flashing these odd, half-second angles of the cityscape over and over and over, as if that was explanation enough. No feel for or explanation of the venues. The videos consisted of "Look! We have young people!"

It was cringe-worthy.

The media will have a field day with the President and First Lady, but the presentation was bad in spite of them. They couldn't salvage that mess.

6. Oh Well...

The Chicago teevee stations are saying it appears a vote against the USOC...still a lot of bad blood involved. The city gave it their best shot.

Now to hear the expected wingnut blaming President Obama...

8. The USOC pissed them off.

USOC Scraps Plans For Olympic TV Network After Pressure

BERLIN — The U.S. Olympic Committee had everything to lose and nothing to air.

That made the decision to postpone plans for its own television network, in deference to the International Olympic Committee's wishes, an easy one.

"There is no question that we underestimated the intensity of the reaction that we got from multiple constituents," USOC chairman Larry Probst said Sunday, after meeting with IOC president Jacques Rogge and deciding to postpone the effort.

The negative reaction came mainly from the IOC and TV partner NBC. All of it seemed to be hurting the effort to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago.

Oh yes, it's the GOP crap-flinging machine cranking up. Hold on for a TEDIOUS round of meaningless, pointless criticism of the Obama efforts.

Suck on it, primitives.

Obama = FAIL. 

Seriously, other than cramming down his porkulous, what has the Won done?

More NATO troops for Afghanistan?  Nope, no new troops but it was hailed by the state press as a great win.

The economy? Nope, things are worse than ever.

HellCare? Nope, things are worse than ever.

It's just too damn bad that we do not have a affirmative action reality for the Won.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Apparently CNN was running a story about "Michelle stealing the show" just before the announcement.

Awesome.

They're blaming Chicago officials now? lol!!

From America to IOC: **** You!
   
There is absolutely no justification for Chicago to be eliminated in the first round. Madrid got more votes than Chicago and Tokyo when the 2012 Summer Olympic games are going to be in London?!? :puke:

Seriously WTF?

Michelle Obama was born in 1964 she would have been 13 in 1976 when Nadia Comaneci was at Montreal, a tad old to be sitting on daddy's lap.

Rush played clips and read from his "presentation". It was all about him. Of course. No wonder they were appalled.

Senator Rowland Burris of Illinois, the Senator who was appointed to fill President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, blames George Bush for Chicago not getting the Olympics in 2016. Burris stated in an interview, shortly after the announcement, that the image of the U. S. has been so tarnished in the last 8 years that, even Barack Obama making an unprecedented pitch for the games could not overcome the hatred the world has for us as a result of George Bush.

FGL, I heard Rush's coverage since I spent my lunch hour in the car.  It was awesome!  Michelle's speech was embarrassing, and WHAT THE HELL KIND OF SACRIFICE IS THAT??   I am very happy about this outcome, because I was cringing thinking about huge piles of cash landing in Chicago.  They simply can't help themselves, there would have been unprecedented corruption.  Just thinking about it made me nauseated.  

Valerie Jarret now has some shovel-ready jobs that she's going to have to pay for.  Slumlord POS.

The DUmmies must love this Yahoo headline I just pulled up:

Obama fails at bid to bring Olympics to Chicago

Obama fails at bid to bring Olympics to Chicago

COPENHAGEN – Chicago's early exit from finalist balloting for the 2016 Olympics was a personal setback for President Barack Obama and a painful defeat for America's most prominent Midwestern city.

Actually I do care, we probably saved a few billion dollars in tax money by not hosting the games.

Freeps, they're not exactly mourning, they're assigning blame.  I guess they're in that "stage" of grief. :evillaugh:

They're blaming:

- tea party racists
- Bush
- Rove
- Repugs & Freepers
- Blago (surprisingly enough)

I was really hoping that Chicago would lose out.  I knew a lot of people who lived in Atlanta for the '96 games, and they HATED it.
