Obama's Olympic Failure...

[native]

GFSU is right.

Pure bullshit, cap.

I'd bet money it was the very people we are fighting that blew that poor guys leg off. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish by this picture, but I call BS on how you used it and where you are placing the blame for it.

More evidence that it will take decades of Donk administrations to clean up our shattered world image in the wake of DubyaCheneyRush.

I, too, weep for my country, Brother Bald One.



Dick Cheney, what hath thou wrought?

Wasnt a gay insult, I dont care who **** up our country like Frank has, it has nothing to do with his sexuality.

Yeah, we're certainly in the toilet, because of Barney Frank!!!!!





Time to throw the shovel away!

Damn right!

Because of Barney Frank's Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

#1 reason we're in the economic toilet.

Hey Baldy...

How pissed off were you when George W. Bush failed to get the Olympics for New York City in 2012?

I'm going to assume you were much less pissed off than you are now.

Pissed off???

Bush failed to get the Olympics for New York City?
Strange, I didn't know securing the Olympic Games was his job description.

Bush made a video and campaigned the IOC to select New York City for 2012...

It's not in their job description. I agree completely. But did you start threads in 2005 called "Bush's Olympic Failure" since the IOC picked London instead of New York? I doubt it.

[HI54UNI]

If you oppose Obama's health plan you are a racist. So does that mean the IOC is racist?

Umm, making a recording is a little different than flying your wife (2 days beforehand) flying yourself and your mom (Oprah) hundreds and hundreds of security and staff, both Air Force 1 aircraft, several military aircraft in support, etc, etc, etc, at a total cost of untold and unknown millions of dollars.

On top of that, both Michelle and Obama made speeches. Obama put his reputation on the line by making his speech overly personal. I know you Donks are trying to brush this off as no big deal, but when you go to this much trouble and at that expense, Obama had A LOT riding on that Olympic bid.

I didn't vote for Obama, and he certainly isn't my guy, but I think it's pathetic that some conks are celebrating his failure - if indeed it is his failure. It was wrong when donks celebrated Bushs' supposed failures and it just as wrong now.

It would have been cool if Chicago had gotten the Olympics. All Americans lost today. Sometimes we need to Americans first and put the petty party bullshit aside.

No one is brushing this off. It sucks, but it had nothing to do with Obama.

I admire his effort. Perhaps if Bush worked a little harder, like Obama, we may have got the bid for New York.

Good post. Conks are embarrassing.

[Tailbone]

Soooooo..........Obama achieved the same result as Bush at a cost magnitudes higher than that spent by Bush.

Obama's lagacy will apparently be the same across the board, failing the American public dismally, at a much higher cost (GWB nearly bankrupt a generation - ours, while Obama will bankrupt several.)

yay.

Nobody is celebrating "his failure" to get the Olympics. What they are laughing at is him having to eat a little crow. To use his great friend's words...Obama's chickens have come home to roost. His arrogance can only take him so far. Take a look at MSNBC or CNN or Reuters or the European Press, they all are saying just about the same thing and I doubt any of them could be accused of being Conks who are celebrating his failure.

You certainly are. Otheriwse you wouldn't have started and titled this thread the way you did. The only thing missing is train wreck photos.

The title of this thread is the title of the article I began the thread with. You know, from those ultra Conservative Conks at the UK Times in London.

The wreck hasn't happened yet, but the trains are on a collision course. Just as i predicted...

Whole news section on CNN bout republicans reveling in this.

Conks are jokes. Like little misbehaving kids in a classroom trying to undermine the teacher.

I'm going to assume you were much less pissed off than you are now.

Nobody has ever made money hosting the Olympics, and Illinois doesn't need to go any broker than it already is. As somebody whose taxes would be paying for the party, I feel like we dodged a bullet.

Chicago would lose money... no doubt.

But, the Olympics would bring a shit ton of jobs, shit ton of contracts to construction companies, etc. I don't think it would necessarily be a net loss when those are taken into account.

I think this could be correctly be stated this way. Republicans want OBAMA TO FAIL as they feel HE IS A TREASONOUS BASTARD.
