I recall that. Funny thing is they had this anchor (who I don’t see anymore so he mustn’t work there), and this guy was waiting with baited breath for who got it. They then announce early in the process that Chicago is out. The anchor looks shocked. He looks crestfallen and asks, “Chicago is out? Is out?” He clearly had so much faith in Obama, and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, despite the fact this was embarrassing for the U.S.
I have been fighting the lunacy--now called "politically correct"--since I was a school boy, and it has never ceased to amaze me--even though it is totally predictable--that these media pundits can maintain an absolutely stupid perspective, year after year. (I mean, really, is it so hard to understand that you do not win the support of people in non white countries, who have high social standing in their home lands, by telling them that they look like the Welfare corrupted dependent population in the Chicago South side?
Obama is not stupid. But the slavish devotion of the media idiots has stunted his ability to even perceive reality. In most situations that does not bother him, as his obvious intention is to disrupt normal social dynamics. But the Chicago Olympic bid should have been a very telling wake up call; though it was not one for the usual admirers of the Emperor's invisible new suit.
