Chicago doesn't get 2016 Olympics

I don't care which party is in favor of the Olympics, whether it's Dems or Republicans. The Olympics are an economic blight on any city they set foot, and people should never welcome them with open arms.

Tell that to the people of Salt Lake City. I bet if you asked whether they would want to host another games you get about 80% saying yes.
 
Usage of the "enter" key would make your posts much easier to read.

I'm willing to make a sacrifice on my part, take out the 'enter' key off my keyboard and mail it to him if he would only try and use it.

I think it would be better for all of us if he took The Prof's enter key.
 

All investments have costs. The question is whether you profit from it.





How do you know he can? That's pure partisan hackery on your part.

This is so stupid it is amazing. Yes, he can chew bubble gum and walk.


He in my opinion from viewing his actions and inactions absolutley put the olympics above the troops.

The inaction you claim is only because he has not done something on a request the pentagon received 1 week ago today, and that the Chief of Staff of the Army, General Casey among others has reservation on. Again, constantly repeating the same retarded line does not make it true.



:lol: wow. so impressed :ssst: I've defended him more than you praised him. so by your logic, it's not just the Good Reverend who is the "partisan hack"


:lol:

I have never seen you say anything positive about Obama. While you may have, it is incredibly rare, while I do criticize Obama and democrats frequently. I am sorry you are blindly hyper-partisan, but that is just how you appear. You throw a fit that Obama has not acted on a week old troop request, and yet if more troops turns out to be a mistake, you and I both know you will bitch about Obama authorizing those troops.

Now that is something liberals and conservatives can all get behind!

then why are troops still in the dark about what he wants them to do?

"The race for the 2016 Olympics has came down to just Rio de Janeiro and Madrid, with the International Olympic Committee eliminating Chicago in a stunning first round of voting"

Rio, Madrid still in race for 2016 Olympics - Yahoo! News

This is too bad, Chicago would have been a great place for the Olympics. I hope Madrid gets it now, I would like to go there more than Brazil and the Olympics would be a great excuse to spend the money.

Yeah, I would have attempted to go. I love Chicago and would love to go to some events. One of my high school students was in the Beijing Olympics. It was so great to see her represent our country.
 
I agree. I'm not arguing that if you opposed the Chicago bid its because you hate Obama.

My focus has been on the Obama-haters who didn't really care about the bid, but are elated that the United States lost the bid so that they can claim it is Obama's failure. They are so transpartent.

You do have this one kocked Dude or is that Mr. Dude. When I posted in the thread about Pr. Obama going to pitch he Olympics I did say that he was taking a risk and the basic thought about the risk was the failure and that failure is whar is and will fuel the haters.

This will give the TeaBaggers, Birthers, Birchers, Palinites, and Beckerists a jet fired propulsiion system of hate. Like they actually need a boost.

Eh....we have their number. If he hadn't gone and Chicago didn't get the Olympics they would be arguing that he doesn't love America enough to make a pitch for Chicago. These wackos are as transparent as cellophane.

These nutjobs and their followers are so desperate that they would rather have America fail than have Obama succeed. That is really sad.

It's probably for the best. I'm not sure I'd want the Olympics coming to town. I've heard bad things...

Yes, but not getting it ruined our date.
 
You can come down this Sunday to watch the Bears stomp the Lions...:2razz:

Baseball on Sunday, Tigers gunna trounce the Sox. Not like tonight...

have you tried looking at it from their point of view:

Obama succeed=America fail
Obama fail=America succeed

pretend for a minute it's GWB and not Obama, that might help you.

That is really sad.

boo hoo, I agree.

I never thought that way about GWB though. I disagreed with him on most every issue, but he won the elections, and he was the president. I could bitch and moan some, but I never pulled for his policies or initiatives to fail.

then it is fortunate for you that you did not see his policies and initiatives as threatening or harmful to your way of life or the future of the country. no doubt the nutjobs and their followers to whom disneydude alludes are going to be supremely unhappy for several years.

I did see them as such largely. However, he won the election, he had the right. Hoping for failure at the cost of the country is a pettiness I won't engage in.
