2 real reasons Chicago did not get the Olympics
   
1. Not enough 911. If Obama had been more like bush he would have said something like:
"If we don't get the Olympics, then the terrorists who struck us on 9/11 will have won. They want you to pick another country because they hate our freedoms, pick Chicago or Osama wins."

2. Coaches, teams, families, etc coming here to US for the games can't afford to pay for health insurance and care here and did not understand the concept of having 50% or more of the cost of coming here would be for paying for private insurance. It is a foreign concept to them and they just can't wrap their minds around it and worry that anyone injured might not be able to get cared for....

4. #2 is a good one. May I offer #3 and 4?
   
3. Difficulty getting through security. This isn't an easy country to get into and out of.

4. Wingnuts ranting about Obama being Hitler incarnate because he wants to provide health care to them. I would be afraid of attending a large venue event in that climate of lunacy as well.
   

Are you really that stupid? There is nothing free about the health care that Lord O is pushing.
And you morons ranted that Bush was Hitler because he wanted to protect your sorry asses from terrorists.

Oh FFS! Do they really think people buy insurance in every country they travel too?  US Olympians have insurance, and I'm sure other countries do to.

Some of those athletes from other countries are products of medical labs so are already covered.  :-)

Reason #1 should be No person in their right mind would willingly go to one of the murder capitals of the U.S. and spend a week or two.  Why leave a war zone to go to a war zone to watch games when you can stay at home and watch a war in your front yard?

Of all the reasons, that isn't one. There is no more dangerous city in the entire world than Rio.

It makes Chicago look like Beverly Hills.

In Rio and in Sao Paulo, you are confined to your hotel. Groups of muggers loiter around every downtown hotel
waiting for anyone who appears foreign to emerge. It's almost impossible for an American to believe.

You can walk in tight groups, but a single person or a couple have a roughly 100% chance of being accosted.

The efficiency of Brazilian death squads leaves much to be desired.

 (Many) Americans are packing heat and looking to kill them some brown people.

And thanks to liberal policies in place for the past fifty years, (Many) (if not most) of those people are brown, or some shade towards the dark end of the scale.

1.  After the 'apology tour' the rest of the world now views the United States as a weak, sniveling country, and feel that they are free to piss all over the USA without fear of reprocussion.

2. Obama's "Walk outside of my family home" speech made it clear to the IOC that Obama wanted to make the Olympics about him, and not the athletes.

3. Michelle's 'Take no prisoners' comment made it clear to the IOC that the Obama's are arrogant people who feel they are owed the Olympics because they are the Obama's - The IOC decided that they needed bitchslapping as a response.

4. If the Olympics were held in Chicago, the IOC would feel compelled to add Grifting, Gangland Freestyle Fighting, and the 2x4 Beatdown to the Summer Olympic repertoire. They would rather not be in that position.

The jug-eared muslim cut his teeth on the absolute corruption of Cook County democrat racial
politics. For many years, the IOC has shown itself to be at least as corrupt as Cook County.
The muslim knew full well that only a few million more dollars, funnelled into IOC members'
personal accounts, would have secured the Olympics for Chicago, and he could have easily
made that money available. The only realistic conclusion is that he did not want the Olympics
to be located in Chicago.

1.  It's an insanely corrupt shithole, which is politically protected from ever being cleansed, and has a ridiculous crime rate.

2.  Rio may be all of the above too, but it takes FUN damned seriously, instead of selling it under the table with juice to the Chicago cops.

Difference is, in the Olympics some clean-cut Swedes, Swiss, Poles, etc. with blonde hair and no criminal records get to possess a gun.  Totally unacceptable in Cook County.
