Why did the bid fail? Because Rahm and Axelrod thought they had bribed enough IOC electors to guarantee victory. Otherwise they would have never allowed the Obamamessiah to go over there. But Copenhagen is not Chicago. There is no honor among thieves and the electors they bribed did not stay “bought”, but instead flipped to the highest bidder.
IOW, they were beat at their own game.
Did anyone catch Rowdy Gaines’ comment that it was the “fault of the the previous administration for the past eight years”
