Nice take, MG.
The Chicago mob planned to sucker the IOC........they arrogantly told the IOC how great the Games would be FOR THEMSELVES. “You can play a great game and still not win” Ohaha said on the loss.... without a shred of introspection.
CHI/GO CAME IN LAST WHILE THE SAVIOUR SPOKE Supposedly the voting was close and USOC intelligence indicated a visit from Obama could well seal the deal. But the facts of the ground indicated (1) Rio offered up more money than we did, (2) there has never been an Olympics in South America (so they were a natural to win). So why didn't brainiacs Jarrett, Daley, Axelrod and Emanuel factor all that in? They had options. They had sources. Supposedly they had USOC intelligence. They could have decided not to embarrass America before the world. They could have ditched that cockamamie presentation.
Obama should shoulder the blame for injecting himself into the decision- making process........... with the self-centerred expectation that he and Mrs O could steamroller the IOC on the strength of their own wonderfulness. Appears the IOC resented the Obamas rolling into town with the idea they could blitzkrieg their way to be the 2016 choice.
Mmm, mm, mmm......delicious to savor how the Chicago mob was mugged by Danish-style sensibility. Ohaha actually justified his stupid bid for "diversity games," Mrs O's ridiculous "sacrifice trip to Denmark".....two planeloads of cronies looking to make a buck, all financed by taxpayers. Makes you wonder how dumbhead Axelrod---architect of the presentation fiasco----- made a living before he got his filthy hands on our tax dollars in the WH.
Mrs O: "I said, you know, 'I'm gonna hug you now and then I'm going after you in Copenhagen!'" And she said, 'You too!' So, the gloves are off." The world is getting tired of the Ghetto-Talking Obamas in your face-style 24/7.
