Chicago doesn't get 2016 Olympics

On paper yes they had the best bid. It cost the least, had the most venues already in place and by far the best transportation system of the 4. Also it had the needed hotel rooms.. something Rio does not. But as I stated, that is hardly what the IOC goes for. If it was, then Greece should never had the Olympics, nor Rio.

And for the record, I was rooting for Rio :) so I am happy it is there.
Yeah yeah sure you were. Pfftt. :lol:
 
The only difference is that you saw one as an opportunity to try to bash Obama...the other you conviently rationalize because it contradicts with your selective outrage.
Its hilarious watching you guys try to speak out of both sides of your mouth. Your not very good at it.

I figured you wouldn't get it.

Bush... 2008... Lame Duck. Attends and OPENING.
Obama 2010... Hope and Change heading towards the end of a miserable year. He goes to win a vote. The press pants pathetically about "their star power".

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!

And political capital is spent on what?
A meaningless event in the Grand Scheme.
Nice entertainment... but politcally meaningless unless an American President sticks his political neck out.

Doh!?

Need I explain it again???

^ Double speak hypocrisy....nothing more....nothing less.
 
Yea funny how the righties "forget" how their dear leader acted during his 8 years.

Lets recap..

487 days at Camp David..

490 days at his ranch in Texas.

Total days away from the White House at these 2 locations ALONE is 977 days.. that is about 1/3 of his total presidency. To this you add additional travelling to other countries, political rallies and fund raisers and "photo ops"..

And the right is all up in arms over a few hours in Europe... gezzz.

And I remember the Bush apologists defending with points such as "Air Force 1 is a flying White House," and "There is nothing he can do in DC that he can't do from Crawford."

Now I'm just waiting for the Obama apologists to start whining the same arguments defending their guy. It's like Bizarro World. Up is down. The right starts sounding like the left and vice versa. This is all making me dizzy. :shock:
