"There must be" resentment against America, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, near the stage where he had hoped to give a victory speech in Daley Center Plaza. "The way we [refused to sign] the Kyoto Treaty, we misled the world into Iraq. The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us. But there was such a turnaround after last November. The world now feels better about America and about Americans.

It was a rowdy mean group of Chicago teens
Hitting each other’s heads with big wooden beams
A well founded fear
These teens mixed with beer
The IOC’s decision was based on safety, it seems

"Refusal to sign" the Kyoto treaty, including a 95-0 vote of the Senate to refuse to even discuss it, happened PRIOR TO the watch of George W. Bush.

Hardly. Rio has something like the highest murder rate on earth--about 8000 a year.

The very definition of ‘Sour Grapes’! It can’t be their fault since their bid was the very best that an utterly corrupt city could buy, it wasn’t Obama’s fault since he dropped everything to fly over there to talk about himself and his family (Obama flied, soldiers died? - Just channeling Mz Cindy), it wasn’t the citizen’s fault since they are paying heavily for the honor of being 4th, SO IT IS ‘W’s fault since he is so easy for Democraps to kick around. The Media just goes along since it is so hard to interject actual facts into the flowing sewer of these people’s verbal diarrhea!

The “New Age” democrats are a product of the NEA and really have no direction to go if “dear leader” is a fraud and failure. The attack will continue until they die. Call it a case of unintended consequences.

I don’t know if it was Sean Hannity who coined the phrase, “BUSH DERANGEMENT SYNDROME”...and I used to laugh when I heard that term used, but I now I really do believe it’s an actual mental defect of the lunatic fringe, whacko, foaming at the mouth, rabid left wing nutjobs.
