BO can’t help himself. He’ll end up praising Chicago and disparaging the America he hates.

Rio will get the games, and deservedly so.

Chicago is in the bag. No politician as calculating as Obama would dare make such a show and a trip, including His ‘n’ Hers jet trips, on an uncertainty that he’d come back empty handed.

Recall Bill Clinton’s trip to NK to “negotiate the release” of those two girls about a month ago. It came out pretty quickly that it was all staged.

I’ll be happy to be wrong of course.

I think his ego would lead him to think all he has to do is appear and do his "magic tongue" speaking bit (hope he has his teleprompter) to have everyone fall into line.

And, yes, he is perfectly capable of dissing the US here and then asking for a chance to show how we can make it right under his oversight.

He and M. running up more bills with no forethought about spending millions to get an event that will cost the US billions. I hope Rio gets it.

Good one! And Michelle will have to nod right along and say how proud she is of her country, too.

JB, you are on the right track when you say...Chicago is in the bag. No politician as calculating as Obama would dare make such a show and a trip, including His ‘n’ Hers jet trips, on an uncertainty that he’d come back empty handed.

It is all just grand theatre, Marxist Obama's advance peeps have already (I suspect) made the IOC an offer they cannot refuse.

So, all the money for travel, security, and etc; and even worse, letting the suspense build for sincere countries such as Brazil when they likely have already been aced-out by dirty dealing; and (if I understand correctly) this whole Big Con is staged by Marxist Obama in order to help some of his Chicago chums make a few mil (by tossing the poor folks out in the cold.)

The only hope is that the IOC gets some last-minute self-respect, or that the deal-making has been caught on hidden camera, ACORN style.

Olympics for Chicago 2016 - The Cost to the People of the United States:

A - The First Lady:

1. Unhidden cost of her US aircraft to and from Copenhagen?

2. Cost and detailed list of accompanying staff currently on the US payroll?

3. Cost of accompanying staffs' accommodations, food, refreshments, local travel (taxi), Official Transportation, etc. for First Lady's party?

4. Any additional aircraft for First Lady's party, for folks like family, press, dog, Secret Service?

5. Amount Opra is reimbursing the USA for her envolvement and that of her staff for #1 - #4, above?

6. Amount the Chicago Olympic Committee is reimbursing the USA for the First Lady's envolvement and that of her staff for #1 - #4, above?

B - POTUS

1. True and total unhidden cost of Air Force One for the trip to and from Copenhagen?

2. Cost and detailed list of accompanying staff currently on the US payroll?

3. Cost of accompanying staffs' accommodations, food, refreshments, local travel (taxi), Official Transportation, etc. for the POTUS's party?

4. Any additional aircraft for POTUS's party, for folks like family, press, dog, Secret Service?

5. Cost US picking for accompanying Press Corps, including travel, accomodations, food, refreshments, etc.?

6. Cost of flying the POTUS "big black car" and the accompanying Secret Service vehicles, drivers, fuel, staff accomodations, food and refreshments?

7. Amount the Chicago Olympic Committee is reimbursing the USA for the POUS's envolvement and that of his staff for #1 - #6, above?

C - Total net expense for "A" & "B" to the USA Tax Payers?

All I ask for a a true and honest (if that is not redundant!) of this "excercise" to the American Public. I'd be interested to also know who has personal vested interests in the possible favorable outcome for this adventure, specifically relating to the possible sale of real estate and other servicees should the Chicago Olympic Committee - 2016 be successful.

That's all I ask. Starting to think of the length of time a snow flake or many snow flakes can survive in Hell while I await the answer to the forgoing questions.

When will someone in the "main stream" news business address any of these questions and share the results with us.

Yeah, I know. :-)

The other day I solicited the opinion of a Brazilian acquaintance, and he chuckled, "What do you think?" Of course he thinks it will be Rio. Natch.

“Chicago in the bag...”

Rush agrees. He said Obama would never have gone if it weren’t already in the bag. He can’t afford the loss of face after not accomplishing anything else, either.
