Anakin Skywalker wouldn't have become Darth Vader without the help of the Emperor.

Obama owes Daley and his thugs big time, so it makes sense that he is trying to win large sums of cash for that filthy communist stronghold known as Chicago, Stalinois.

Apparently he and Michelle are both going and taking Oprah along with them. I imagine the full entourage will be in the high hundreds.

It’s not like Zero has anything better to do. Maybe we won’t have to be taunted by him for a few days.

What a group! He’ll have his canned smile on the whole time he’s there, hope the enemedia doesn’t video him constantly and send it home for all to see.

Oprah has to be living higher on the hog now, rubbing elbows with the Messiah and spouse. LOL!

The Olympics in Chicago is a disaster waiting to happen.

Something tells me that if he didn’t have assurances Chicago would get it, he wouldn’t go. I mean, does he need yet ANOTHER failure on his short resume?

It would be safer to hold the games in Iraq or Afghanistan, than in 0bama’s Chicago.

Good point, Hildy. What will be the lamestream media headline,...OBAMA CONQUERS DENMARK!....?
