How fitting since both the Olympics and hubris have their origin in ancient Greece.

Hubris (/hjuːbrɪs/) (ancient Greek ὕβρις) is a term used in modern English to indicate overweening pride, haughtiness, or arrogance, often resulting in fatal retribution or Nemesis. In ancient Greece, hubris referred to actions which, intentionally or not, shamed and humiliated the victim, and frequently the perpetrator as well. It was most evident in the public and private actions of the powerful and rich. The word was also used to describe actions of those who challenged the gods or their laws, especially in Greek tragedy, resulting in the protagonist's downfall. Hubris, though not specifically defined, was a legal term and was considered a crime in classical Athens. It was also considered the greatest sin of the ancient Greek world.

Only FOX will continue the story for a few days.

The rest of the media idiots will spike it after tonight’s quick spin.

If Team Obama could figure out a way to get a do-over, they would also figure out a way to play the race card against the Olympic Committee.

Breaking: Just revealed..... the voting panel thought Obama’s bid was for Kenya, not the USA.

Those dummies in Chicago that were disappointed about the Olympic results should thank the IOC for sparing them a lot of mysery and money. Same with the citizens of the U.S. The only ones that would have profited are the Obamas and all of their crooked Chicago cronies.
