Americans, quick to go to war, shocked to hear the world isn't that crazy about us.
 Um, hello?

The Chicago delegation goes over there with what has been described as "little passion", save for the Obamas.

Rio had pledged the most money towards the games.

A majority of Chicagoans either didn't want the games or didn't care.

South America had never hosted the games and was excited to do so.

The world is suffering an economic collapse that started with our thieving banks here.

And so on, and so on...


...all that and this country just expects to be handed the games because, you know, we're the United States.

Well, welcome to your new place in the world, America. Let that slap of the face sting for a little while. It'll be good for you.

If you thought that it would be as easy as electing Obama to wash the stain Bush left on this country, think again.


I'm almost wishing it goes to Madrid, where the MSM didn't even bother to send cameras.
 George Bush killed Chicago's chances for the Olympics...  :???:

1. It's worse than that: they want the Olympics to "reform our image"

without any of the hard work of actually ending the practices that the world so hate (such as War Without End in Iraq and Afghanistan.)

3. Good point. A political "Sham Wow!" if you would.
 Some stains require good ol' fashioned scrubbing.

9. Grovels? How so?
 In any case, please resist the RW temptation to make this all about Obama when it is really about the entire country and Chicago's bid, in particular.

7. Looking back on not looking back...
 Our image is in deep shit because we don't uphold our laws or anyone else's laws. I guess they were afraid that we are so good at water-boarding the rest of the world wouldn't stand a chance.

18. How much did the threat of domestic terrorism affect the decision?
 Remember that the rest of the world doesn't watch ABC/NBC/FOX etc. They have seen images of the crazy Teabagger Parties and have heard all about the threats to kill our President. Whether we like it or not, we're seen more and more as out of control, warmongering, clueless hicks by the rest of the world.

Just saying...

Okay, so if the world doesn't watch ABC/NBC/FNC, then how would they have know about the Tea Parties?  Hell, with the exception of FNC, nobody even TALKED about them on the MSM networks!

Projection FAIL.

Murders related to the Tea Party Movement = ZERO.

Murders in the city of Chicago since the immaculation of Obumbler = 650.

Yes it must be those conservatives fault.

Rush had it right. Lord O has been going round saying how much the USA sucks no wonder they didn't want the Olympics in Chicago.

That's where you're wrong.  According to the DUmmies every black man that's been murdered, assaulted, insulted, subbed or fired in the last several months was due to the racism stirred up by the tea party movement, Glen Beck, Rush or some other right wing personality.  ::)

It's also the first of the month, so they have money for their recreational supplies.

Hello, G20, Pittsburgh ? Those aren't Tea Party people.


Quote


PITTSBURGH: About 10,000 protesters marched against capitalism and the Group of 20’s summit agenda on Friday as businesses cleaned up from a night of skirmishes on Pittsburgh streets.
Protesters — from environmentalists, socialists, Palestinians and Tibetans to union workers — marched toward the convention center where G20 leaders were meeting to discuss global economic issues.

Yeah, better to grovel before Muslims:

It won't be long before he does that again (but I bet we'll never be allowed to see it again).
