Zero’s payoff to the Chicago slum lords is toast just like his Presidency.

It sure is.

After seeing the financial black holes of Barcelona, Atlanta, Athens and Beijing, Mr. Hanson, no American who can add was rooting for Chicago.

This whole process is/was an exercise in cronyism, and it was refreshing to see the Chicago cronies out-cronied by the IOC cronies. I guess the Kenyan's cronies will have to find somebody else to pick up the tab for their crony-driven slum clearance projects.

Having been in and out of Chicago in the last few years, I was definitely not rooting for Chicago. No city deserved it less. They were going to destroy parks for the Olympic venues. Parks are one of the things the City has going for them.

Why would anyone want the Olympics in that criminal enterprise of Chicago?

Wonder if they would have bundled so much money for ZERO or protected his home if they knew they were going to come in 4 of 4? :)
