So spake the One and his minions.

this is 2009. The Olympics Chicago didn’t get are 2016.

brought home some Delft China and some butter cookies…– so we’re not going to have the “Rail-Tie Swinging Event” in 2016 — what do you want everything?

…who think that massive government spending also creates and/or saves jobs. What else would you expect?

in 2016 are the new rally point for the maroon left to bash the American conservative movement? Hmmmmm.

Ok. I’ll bite. The punch line to your life is…?

I’m happy that Rio de Janeiro will benefit from having the Olympics. After all, the Olympics haven’t ever been held in South America.

The IOC is a corrupt, anti-American body. I’m glad their filth won’t be giving us trouble again like we had in SLC before Mitt Romney fixed it.

The Olympics creates economic activity in the same way breaking a window creates it. It’s a dislocation, not an actual growth of the economy.

Plus a failure for Obama and his radical left-wing agenda is a victory for American prosperity. The more he is weakened, the better.

I take no joy in the sense of defeat felt by half the normal, every-day Chicago residents who wanted the Games to come to their city, even while I’m certain it was in their best interests.

us to be citizens of the world. We’re just happy for Rio since their economy is worse than ours.

The Olympics are not free. We are 2-3 trillion in debt due to the “Porkulus”. Chicago does not have any money really to fund their city government, Chicago is a violent city due to the school riots that killed an innocent bystander, Chicago is a high tax city.

In about the last nine months. He also must not be paying attention to the NJ and VA governors races.

This from the enlightened, caring left.
If anybody is short-bus material, I’d say it’d be a guy named “Paul” who thinks the Olympics coming to Chi-town wouldn’t be anything but a cesspool of corruption and waste.

I should be trolling over at the left-tard sites (DK, DU, myDD, Puff-Ho, Politico, AOL, etc, etc.

Every time we on the right gets our butts handed to us in a political sense, I should be over there writing letters to their contact forms telling them that a vote against us is a vote against America, so they should quit cheering and be real sad instead.

It seems so effective, and all……..

According to Biden the “Recovery Act” has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. With 1 million jobs either saved or created.With the tremendous success of the Obama administration who needs the Olympics.

mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm Barack Hussein Obama

Is the part I like best. I keep thinking (re: poll numbers), its too early- the left has too much time to regroup and abate the massive undercurrent that currently exists. Folks like Paul provide the evidence that they are in such a deep state of denial that they will charge full speed ahead right into the iceberg of 2010.

First, I feel sure that due to the total financial catastrophe that the corrupt Chicago Olympics would have been, the American people would have been called on to bail them out. It is the new American tradition - massive transfers of wealth to Blue Cities. As American taxpayers, we have to look at this as dodging a big bullet.

Second, I hate bullies. Hate them. Chicago has certainly produced or given shelter to quite a few of them, from Capone to Daly to the Jacksons to Wright to Ayers to Farrakhan to Emmanuel to Obama, not even counting the run-of-the-mill mob and union thugs. I am glad to see them get a collective crack across the bridge of the nose with a baseball bat, because it is only them that would have benefitted - not the good people of Chicago. I hope this is but one of many in the near future, not only there but in other cities run on fraud and corruption.

It is sad that the normally hapless Europeans felt that they had be the ones to deliever the whack. Maybe they are more able to recognize corrupt frauds and tyrants than we are, since they have seen more than their fair share.

yes, I’m going to cheer because you blow hards looking for the government to get you a job are what helped make the recession that TheWon claims is over.

You, the people, have made Chicago what it is. You fix it.

Ohh…that’s right…Since Obama became president….never mind!

4) Oprah didn’t invite the IOC to be on her show.
3) They’re all racist.
2) ACORN didn’t get to count the votes.
1) IT’S BUSH’S FAULT.

I mean, considering he very clearly used both terms to refer to the same persons, he clearly thinks a) we’re retards, and b) we’re a**holes, which leads to the conclusion c) that all retards are a**holes.

Well with the terms of endearment out of the way, I guess I gotta accept the rest of what he says…

Staying irrelevant.

If you look at the majority of cities who host Olympic games and World Fairs, they rarely ever break even on the investment. So…who wins then?? The answer is LABOR. The building of an Olympic village and the temporary influx of visitors for a region may not generate enough tax revenue for a state to justify it, but lots of blue collar workers get government money that comes from the pockets of their countrymen. So essentially Olympics in Chicago=government redistribution of tax funds to construction in Chicago at our expense. For the country, it’s break even at best in terms of overhead costs vs Olympic income. But for labor its lots of new jobs and construction–so basically the Olympics would have been a bailout of Chicago construction companies.

It might behoove you to consider what Chicago’s chances might have been had not the full force of Obama’s singular arrogance come raining down upon Europe.

Alienating our traditional allies, you could say, Mr. Waszak.

It is no accident that not only did Chicago not win in the face of an unprecedented lobbying effort from the President of the United States, the sausage-shaped First Lady of the United States, and a liberal talk-show host the size of Iowa; it came in dead last.

Just who lost the Olympics, Mr. Waszak? Who screwed the pooch on this great job-creating opportunity and prestige-builder for Chicago and the U.S.? Granted, none of it would actually have happened for another seven years, but it could still have been a benefit, because the way your President is going it’s not unreasonable to expect this recession could still be going on in 2016, is it, Mr. Waszak? How’s all of this Hope working out for you?

You see, Mr. Waszak: less than nine months in, your President is the most colossal and immediate failure in the history of the office. Every day, he makes a greater ass of himself, and every day more people in America and around the world are opening their eyes to who this man really is and the truth of the crippling, narcissistic evil that he represents. Every day, more people are rejecting him, you, and everything you stand for. Every day is another rip in the tattered, garish circus poster of Hope and Change; every day another ray of sunlight breaks through The Magic Of The Man and falls upon the core of the dark, filthy, hateful lie that is Barack Hussein Obama.

How’s that working out for you, Mr. Waszak? It wasn’t supposed to be happening this way, was it?

I know how it’s working out for me: I’m grinning from ear to ear. Because you and your kind will know irrelevance, sir; for most of the rest of your lives, you will be more familiar with it than any of us could ever possibly imagine. The pain that our country has to endure in the short term will make us stronger in the long term, and the long-term prospects of those of you who thought you could tarnish and destroy everything this country ever represented are very, very poor indeed.

Your children will live under conservatism, Mr. Waszak. We…. will bury you.

Regards,
-America

then why does Mr. Waszak even care?

hmm

something doesn’t add up

So, let me get this straight: Obama creates the worst environment for business since the great depression and the olympics is going to save us in 2016? LOL

Personally, I’m glad he lost the bid because when Obama loses in 2012, by 2016, they won’t bring up Obamas name, giving him credit for bringing the games to Chicago while Sarah Palin is President. LOL Can you imagine Bob Costas mentioning that ever other sentence?

WE ARE NOT CHEERING! WE ARE ANGRY OF THE INCOMPETENCE OF OBAMA AND HIS MINIONS!

We are shouting over the roof! First things first!

CLEAN CHICAGO OF CORRUPT LEFTIST GOVERNMENT! Start with Daley!

REMOVE ALL THUGS IN CHICAGO!

CLEAN CHICAGO OF EVIL GANGSTERS AND THUGS!

These are the sure ways of Winnning an Olympic game! Tell them to your Victorious (for nothing) Obama!

Next time, don’t bring Michelle. She and her own set of minions are train wreck in spending.

are union jobs! The OIympics don’t boost the economy, they put money in to the pockets of union workers. Then, like locusts, the whole thing moves to the next unfortunate field.

How does that make you feel, Paul?

“WE” didn’t lose the bid for the Olympics - Chicago did. Don’t you remember, your Prez has been going around the world apologizing for what a sorry country we are - why would anybody want to hold the Olympics here?

In any event, no doubt most of the money generated would have gone to Chi Town mobsters, er, politicians, for furthering the careers of NAMBLA sycophants like Kevin Jennings or neo-communists like Van Jones. No thanks.

And this,
“The [sic] would bring in well needed jobs, ya know. Since this country is in a recession and all.”

You know genius, if you and Prez Obeyme were really interested in jobs, you would end the capital gains tax, end the death tax, cut marginal tax rates, cut 50% of the non-sensical red tape on small businesses, repeal Davis-Bacon, cut special treatment for unions out of ALL govt contracts, restore the pre-JFK ban on public employee unions (especially the NEA and AFT), return to the dream of Martin Luther King by eliminating minority based set-asides and quotas, reform all labor tort laws of the last fifty years, etc, etc, etc, or any ONE of the above.

But you aren’t really interested in jobs, are you? Just self-aggrandizment and self-righteous proclamations about “justice”. What a bunch of creeps…

Since the IOC is comprised mostly of Europeans and since Obama’s been dissing our European allies (I hope their still allies to us, the American people, if not Obama) while cozying up to dictators as well as telling the world how rotten we are why wouldn’t they vote Chicago into last place?

I’m not cheering so much for the USA losing an Olmpic bid, I’m cheering for President Arrogance getting his hat handed to him for once.

Karma sucks, don’t it Mr. Pesident?

we are happy that a huge deficit will not be created in Illinois (or in DC for that matter) to build the venues from which we will all have to watch the steroid pumped hermaphrodites run their races.
