CHICAGO OUT in First Round of Olympics Voting!!

Lobo update: Rio de Janeiro wins Olympic bid
-By Warner Todd Huston
THE BBC HAS THE REPORT THAT CHICAGO DIDN’T EVEN GET PAST THE FIRST ROUND OF IOC VOTING FOR THE 2016 OLYMPICS.
All I have to say is “There IS a God.” Thanks be to Him that we did NOT get this debacle forced upon the poor taxpayers of the state of Illinois.
This mess would take decades of tax burdens to pay off and would yield wasted space, useless construction, and absolutely no benefit to the city… unless you happen to be a broken nosed pal of the Daley machine. The crooks in City Hall’s pocket are the only people that would have benefited from what would quickly have turned into a criminal enterprise.
BBC News’ Adam Brookes in Chicago: “The shock of Chicago’s elimination was greater for the fact that it came in the first round. And greater for the fact that President Obama had taken valuable hours from his packed and tense political schedule to travel to Copenhagen. His legendary powers of persuasion will be said to have failed him, though in reality it will be Chicago’s bid that failed him. Nonetheless, this is a moment which allows the president’s detractors to allege waning prestige on the part of his presidency. And it will raise questions about the political advice that he is receiving.”
And what a kick to Obama’s face, eh?

When the news appeared that President Obama was going to Copenhagen, I thought that he must have had inside information that Chicago was going to be picked. Why would he risk rejection? Most people do not understand the mess he has made in Honduras or the Middle East, but they can see his failure in this case. His image will take a huge hit unless he can find a way to blame George Bush and the evil Republicans.
Where did the people in the photo get those shirts? Looks like Acorn must have given these away.
No the citizens of Chicago won’t have to cough up $5 Billion tax dollars. HA HA HA. Obama and Daley will have to find another way to pay off their cronies.
