I agree this is a lot of fun to watch.
But it really doesn’t affect the Baraqqi coalition of support.
Illegals, union members, dead people, and minorities don’t give a rip about the Olympics. Those groups will still turn out 97% for Baraq making him much more formidable than many here think.
Just like when the German tanks were bogged down at 40 below in Russia, the toughest fighting lies ahead.

Unicorns too, with silver and gold dander. This will save Chicago a lot.

Well that coalition has for all purposes BROKEN DOWN and that break down has shown today. The IOC is simply saying: AMERICA, you have to clean house out, starting in 2010.

“It was accidental but unfortunate that the global viewers had seen some horrific YouTube clips of street fighting in the Windy City, and then were told by Michelle that her father had taught her how to land a right hook,”
Great point by Hanson. I hadn’t made that connection, but I’m sure Michelle’s ‘right hook’ comment reinforced the idea among IOC voters, who saw the Derrion Albert murder video, that Chicago is a dangerous, thuggish city.
Chicago probably would have lost anyway, but that comment could not have helped.

“...and will probably lose the Dem primary in 2012.”
If he doesn’t quit first! Count on Hillary as the 2012 nominee. Palin vs Clinton. That’s my predition. A truly historic election.

Death throws on the way. Don’t be surprised if a flurry of emergencies pop up and emergency measures are taken to fix those “emergencies”. They’ve got the Congress and the EOP. And they’re definitely not going down without a very bloody fight.

Often the turn of the tide is signalled by a harbinger, an omen if you like. In 1979 it was the election of Margaret Thatcher, which took place in the darkest days of Carterism.We need to win an election or two to bring this home. The gubinatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey should be bellwethers.

I saw Burris make that very claim in a clip on Fox. It’s not on Google yet.

The whole thing smacked of “Ugly-Americanism”. The Obamas swoop into Copenhagen, thinking their own celebrity wattage and personal stories (some manufactured a la Michelle watching Carl Lewis in the Olympics perched on Daddy's knee) were enough to sway the rubes from the third world. Then, when the ungrateful world wasn't buying their razzle dazzle, they send their attack dog, Axelrod, to blame all the faults of the world for the loss. Overblown gold dresses and sore losers reinforce the Ugly American image.

To: La Lydia
I continue to find it impossible to imagine how Obama makes it through even his first term, much less gets re-elected to a second. I lived through the administrations of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, and abhorred both of them, but they both were at least minimally competent as presidents (OK, maybe a stretch for Carter).
What we have now, however, is incompetence on an epic scale abetted by the most incredible arrogance I have ever witnessed. The only thing that could save this administration now would be a dramatic shift toward the political center, and we all know that Obama's narcissism will never allow that.
Oh well, as others have said... pass the popcorn.
