No Games Chicago Rally Against the 2016 Olympics

[Tmetrvlr]

Look what happened to Brazil afterwards, Gee whiz.....I guess something reverted.

[scorpioninpink]

good job! now chicago will never host an olympic... after all this city is not appealing...

[allgoraro]

Good rally--finally some sense.

[knowbetternow]

These people are talking from the heart, they are intelligent folks...they want to take care of the important things first...as always Obama is all about the SHOW and the glittz... while people go hungry and the schools get no help. Obama needs to stop being an empty suit...the people are speaking very clearly all over the USA...cut the crap, sir.

[allgoraro]

Good points. Obama flying around to plead for Chicago is just more of the wasted money associated with the Olympics. The Olympics are all about money and nationalism--not aspects that are often highlighted.

[knowbetternow]

Yeah allgoraro, The Olympics always leave a deficit in the Billions. The people of Chicago would have been stuck with some of it (which they cant afford) and the rest would have been borrowed from China to add to our huge national debt. Obama croneys like Valaie Jarrett etc stood to make tons of cash by selling or renting properties they own...ok most of the Chicago thugs would have, but everyone else would have suffered. Time to start acting responsibly, while we still have a country.

[allgoraro]

I hate to say it--I was born outside of Chicago and went to school at ISU but Illinois is a hotbed of corruption and I am glad that they did not get the Olympics. It all reeked of cronyism to me--Obama practically begging the IOC after flying to Denmark--as if we do not have other things that should be worked on.

[knowbetternow]

Yes, This was a huge slapin the face for Obama. He was startting to believe his own press, I hope this helps un swell his head. Mostly I am happy for the people of Chicago and illinois in general, they need other things way more.

1:39 really funny

[MontyPython134]

Grab a napkin Obama cause you have been SERVED.

[knowbetternow]

monty: maybe a wetnap would be better...Barry, Michelle and Oprah have a big pile of egg on their faces. I think they think just a TAD too much of themselves. Maybe now they get it...NO YOU CAN"T!

[DasTuppen]

i live in indiana, i cant stand sports so i just dont care about olympics. to me olympics is a waste of money unless it is special olympics or something like that.

[Chicagogal850]

The economy is down, why have the Olympics here when there's no money from the local gov't.

[NO2016INCHICAGO]

no games in chicago fuck that.....

[kosh2001]

GO Chicago!!!

[Andycards]

Dumb-asses

[cwong921]

what a bunch of idiots,thats all you fools want to do, is whine and protest about every sinlge thing. in fact lets ban everything why dont we. i am not a big govt. supporter, but when it comes to raising money for housing schools etc, all you fucking fools start crying when there is a talk about a tax increase to help raise the money. everyone of ye are all take but dont want to help out. its the people at these protests that eat up govt money for healthcare and schools on welfare. parasites.

[kunz99]

There is very little support for the Olympics in Chicago.
