I know when I first heard Chicago was so soundly rejected in the first round of voting I raised both hands in the air, did a little jig and yelled F. U. obamma lamma ding dong you marxist p.o.s. poser turd.

[SkyPilot]

At the end of CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, anchor Bob Schieffer sneered at conservatives that "the world did not end Friday. ... When I drove in this morning, the Washington Monument was still standing."

Un-frickin believable.

These media clowns don't have the credibility to cover a county fair, much less international affairs or domestic politics.

They are a joke.

These "experts" are going to need blowtorches to remove the egg from their faces.

This guy is going to need more than that.

[Biggirl]

Brilliant!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

I heard the news of Chicago’s bid being rejected - eliminating them in the first round! while driving out of town and listening to Rush.....who mirrored my ecstatic delight so very well!

So many reasons to celebrate!

The Obama Propaganda pushers being forced to face REJECTION of their god-man being one of the big ones....

[SueRae]

Great article.

Showed up the falseness of the imagined power of the ‘one’, gave a well deserved prick to his ego balloon and underscored the idiocy of the fawning media that provide cover for them.

NPR's Juan Williams explained that the Obamas felt a Chicago Olympics would be a great "bookend" for their second term

Nice rhetoric Juan. It's all you libs are good for.

[Caipirabob]

In the fiasco's aftermath, NPR's Juan Williams explained that the Obamas felt a Chicago Olympics would be a great "bookend" for their second term, and that their racial appeal would lead the African nations to vote for America.

The only explanation can be that the African nations are:

RACIST!

[DustyMoment]

The whole trip was, in historical terms, frivolous, and self-indulgent to boot.

Indeed it was! zero is so caught up in believing his own publicity that he believed that he would "seal the deal" at the Olympic committee meeting.

But, here's the delicious irony - the very same Obama who announced to the world that America's era of arrogance was over (and has apologized repeatedly around the world for it) allowed his OWN arrogance to KILL the deal at the Olympic committee meeting. He believed that his mere presence would be more than enough to guarantee a Chicago Olympics in 2016!!

The entourage that the zero's unleashed on the Olympic committee did not sway them, it annoyed them to no end. It appears that, the more we and the rest of the world sees and hears of this creep, the more the bloom is off the rose!!! Obama fatigue is setting in - and this is just one more example of it!!

What the Republicans did, I think, rivals Jane Fonda sitting on a gun in North Vietnam."

Wouldn't Ed Schultz have applauded Fonda's treason?

[Kaslin]

I would not be surprised if he did

Barack Obama might easily have been a character in Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities. Instead, this caricature of a man is our present reality, leaving one to hope that in time, his vanity will not result in our bonfire.

[tioga]

OMG...that pic. I cannot even laugh at what it depicts anymore.

[andy58-in-nh]

It’s my favorite Obama photograph because it tells you instantly everything you need to know about the man. I believe it will become an iconic picture, for it defines him.

[Bob from De]

When I heard the news,as it happened,I thought,thank God,Allah-Bama and the corrupt Chicago machine had failed.
Now we don’t have to put up with watching billions and billions of our tax dollars go down the empty hole of corruption for the next 7 years.
Axelrod,Jarrett,etal will now hava to find another way to steal our money. Probably through the back door at HUD.

[tioga]

I am fond of this one I spotted yesterday.......

[andy58-in-nh]

That picture generated a few pings on the old Gaydar.

[tioga]

yeah, the gaydar bell is clanging wildly with that one........and does he look like he is man enough to man up and fight the war in Afghanistan? I think not.

[andy58-in-nh]

Well, he has been known to bend over in the presence of other men...
