Chicago Olympics are much more important at this time than the war, the economy, unemployment.

There are 29 million illegal aliens living in this country without free healthcare and BO is in Copenhagen pimping Chicago. Now that's what I call hope and change. LOL!

Chicago is a war zone. More violent deaths there by the waring factions in the hood. Why would the IOC want to risk the safety of fans by going to Chicago.

I actually don’t have a problem with a president trying to bring the Olympics to the U.S., so the trip to Cophenhagen doesn’t bother me. I just wonder if Obama would be doing it if it wasn’t Chicago?

By this time next year it won’t even be considered for the Top Twenty failures next year.

Zer0’s found a way to throw tons of money at his corrupt cohorts in Chicago, it’s payback time.
Why didn’t he send Daley and Michelle to do the bidding, could it be Daley is too well known as a crook?

I think the answer to that is an easy, "No."
Besides, would run it in Chicago?
Does Chicago have a Peter Uberroth? No.
There's got to be a money grab in here somewhere.
Think about Drudge's current headline: OLYMPIC SPIRIT: VIDEO SHOWS BRUTAL GANG MURDER IN CHICAGO, and Chicago politics.
I can't see a Chicago Olympic Games being anything but a complete embarrasment for the US.

We don’t need no more stinkin olympics in this country for a long time. Let Rio have it.
We do need this worthless leader to meet with commanders while we are in a war.

Imagine if Bush had dropped everything to push a US Olympic venue ...the MSM and Congress would have wet their collective pants. No problem sending the misses, but Barry, you are the President not the mayor of Chicago. I imagine the Olympic bid will include millions of federal dollars, most of which would be lining the pockets of Barry’s Illinois cronies.

Did you forget your sarcasm tag? Many favors are owed. It's almost a million dollars for the creep in chief to travel there on AF1 and I've read Michelle is commandeering a second plane. Screw our fine soldiers and wing off to Denmark.
I despise 0bama.

Mayor Daley told him to, “Get your B.A. in gear and start repaying me for what I have done for you”.

IMHO, these are Chicago thugs we are dealing with here.
Can we honestly expect National Security or economics to matter to a damn gang of street punks?

It sure looks like Valerie is wearing down. Just look at old and tired she looks. Have to use plenty of that special high powered lighting on her.
