Wow! Think of the potential graft in billions of dollars worth of construction.
And the MSM media may get alot of cash if they get held here in the U.S.
Funny..... and true
Fine. Award The Olympics to Sewertown. Nobody watches the damn thing anyway.
Obama joked that his Hyde Park home is only two locks from the proposed Olympic site, and said that his home could be vacant by 2016 when the Olympics rolls into town.
“I’m just going to be able to walk over there. I might have to rent out my house, I don’t know how much its going to be worth. And I also, in the interest of full disclosure, I have to let you know that in 2016 I'll be wrapping up my second term as president.”
“My first question was about Rogge’s reaction to U.S. President-elect Barack Obama’s video showing his enthusiastic support for the Olympic movement, for his hometown of Chicago’s 2016 Olympic bid, and for using the Summer Games to help the United States reengage an Olympic world that widely resented the Bush administration’s policies.”

Huh?
“for his hometown of Chicago’s 2016 Olympic bid. . . .”
Huh?
“for his hometown of Chicago’s. . . .”
HUH?
“his hometown of Chicago’s. . . .”
WHAT?
The Outfit and the Machine are drooling like hungry dogs at the prospect of all that loot coming into town.
I really hope it doesn’t come here.
I don’t want to deal with it, I don’t want Daley and the other thugs benefiting from what can only be described as feeding the failing beast, and the athletes deserve better than trying to get across Chitcago from one event to another stuck on crappy roads they refuse to expand and dodging bullets and uninsured illegals.
