Re: Olympics "the ego has landed"

Can you imagine the cronies that were licking their chops thinking of the money they were going to line their pockets with in Chicago?

Re: Olympics "the ego has landed"

Top 10 Reasons Chicago lost Olympic bid
Ethel C. Fenig
Too, too funny! Too, too true--and so many people believe the number one reason killed it.

Add your own. And thanks to Rich Lowry of NRO for sharing

10. Dead people can't vote at IOC meetings

9. Obama distracted by 25 min meeting with Gen. McChrystal

8. Who cares if Obama couldn't talk the IOC into Chicago? He'll be able to talk Iran out of nukes.

7. The impediment is Israel still building settlements.

6. Obviously no president would have been able to accomplish it.

5. We've been quite clear and said all along that we didn't want the Olympics.

4. This isn't about the number of Olympics "lost", it's about the number of Olympics "saved" or "created".

3. Clearly not enough wise Latina judges on the committee

2. Because the IOC is racist.

1. It's George Bush's fault.

Maybe she sat on her daddy's lap longer than most.

Prime Minister Tony Blair personally appealed - and won London's vote for 2012
Russian President/PM Vladmir Putin also personally appealed - and won Sochi's vote for 2014

They got it done ... BHO couldn't.

I love it!

Sick!!!!! Hundreds of unemployed people will not have a good paying job and you love it. Work would have started immediately if AMERICA had won. AMERICA is not whats important to right wing wackos.Anything to stop Obama is your goal no matter if it will help AMERICA or not. SICK!!!

Not true at all. The Olympics are in 2016. Most construction will transpire 1-2 years before the opening ceremony. The criminals in Chicago would be posturing for buying and selling their land in the next few years.

http://www.som.com/content.cfm/chica...ic_master_plan

SOM has a rough masterplan. They built the Sears tower. I spoke with the project manager that built the tower. He built it in a year. No new Jobs there. They are building a Tower in Dubai which tops off in 2011 and people transfer to other work before they would have don Olympic work. I can name 5-10 american firms that will have a part of engineering, design and build in RIO. Most physical jobs will be demoliition in the next few years starting a couple years from now.

The Deodoro sports complex is in use and was in use for the 2007 Pan american Games in Rio. I have with other members hosted a sailing venue and olympic trials in our yacht cub in the past. This is a planning stage and fund raising starts soon. I am familiar with the Pan am games.

Did someone not like my post I got a thumbs down, for whatever that means. If you think he is not destroying America then think again.
