Obama Makes Chicago 2016 Olympics Pitch to IOC in Copenhagen

[Jakzerstoren]

why do you have to drag half the U.S army with you everytime you visit here?

Why is all our streets blocked and banned zones just because you have to drive around town in your nice little "beast" bud, drinking wine?

Are you Paranoid dude? :)

Why do you have to join the CoP15 meeting? your gayass preaches wont work here, were discussing the future of the world here..

Why do you have to drag 2 huge Jumbo's iddentical to eachother? afraid of terrorists here? lol :D

[Jakzerstoren]

AS A CITIZEN OF NOT ONLY DENMARK, BUT COPENHAGEN ITSELF I TELL YOU NOW: OBAMA, FUCK OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR GAYPREACHES !!

you are a great manipulator to americans cus they are stupid as shit but you do not fool us, we see through your facade, we were all taught how to behave and you are what we call "En Dejn". your "sacred" personality is so important you have to stall the whole city just for a meeting here in Cph, dk. and being a smartass with cars/planes etc. while doing it..

to be continued.

[Jakzerstoren]

one more thing, all the world leaders private trips here, and all the meni's that had to take the turrist classride here, have led out as much Co2 as my whole country does in an entire year..

nice effort to save the world there pals... you really do us a favor by further infecting the planet..

[prettyemofreak]

this stupid dumb muslim antichrist is DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY AND IS SIGNING TO ISLAM BEING THE HEAD LEADER OF THE NEW NWO AND WILL CUT OFF ANYONES HEAD KILL THEM IF THEY DO NOT ACCEPT muhammad as god which is theyre antichrist religion

[templersstorms]

please don't showcase Chicago to the world as a representation of America. Chicagoans don't even want to have there Olympics there.

I agree with ObamaEqualsStupid. liberal fail

[bishopm5]

Hey dope....were all still waiting for your decision on Afganistan!

[Zares28]

he is so fucking full of himself... (OH MY GOT! THAT MAN DIS'ed OBAMA! ITS BECAUSE HE IS BLACK! HE IS A RACIST!!!!) There.... i saved some typing energy for you ignorant fucks who may think that.

[ObamaEqualsStupid]

Liberal Fail

[trojantjl]

obama is such a loser

[LongDriveChamp03]

can the man not go anywhere without a teleprompter?

[lulumariemissypu]

Mmmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmm

2012 can't come soon enough!

[cowboydan0]

his speaking style is starting to irritate me.

I, I, I, me, me, me, my, my, my

[reballynn]

Both 0 and m0bama mispronounced Count Rogge's name in their speeches. What assclowns they are.

[Grespano]

He said what he needed to say. But we all know it wasn't going to be Chicago.

[calais200]

no he cant lol

[ASentinel2]

Obama didn't play sports growing up..dad wasn't around and so a marxist guy became his father figure in Hawaii..In college as a result, he says he "sought out' teachers with that type of thinking...to learn from....And now he's our president....and he wants to take over health care, businesses, banks & insurance....and he makes speeches bad mouthing America and her principals but 'now he's president'....things will change..

Oh the dumocrats will say he has such a big heart to help us all....

[marianna0116]

One word: BOGUS.

1/2

We are in the midst of one of the greatest economic disasters in history.

We are currently enjoying the largest deficit in history.

We currently have the largest unemployment numbers without any relief in site.

We are currently debating an overhaul of the entire US healthcare system.

We are STILL at war in the Middle East and our commander-in-chief is now contemplating an entirely NEW strategy. In other words, starting from scratch.

[miket1m]

2/2

We are about to, or are faced with the possibility of, defaulting on gov't acquired loans for the first time come January 2010.

We are undergoing a massive outbreak of H1N1 and the costs associated with vaccine research, innoculations, etc.

The list, unfortunately, goes on and on and this guy does this? He embarrassed himself over there. He embarrassed us all. Who does this guy think he is?

Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing their idiot.

[Cracksmokinscumbag]

By 2016 he will have already gone down as the worst thing to ever happen to this country in the eyes of the American way of life. You know the one where you worked for the goals you have.

If the country recovers from what he is doing it will be great to celebrate in Rio where it is actually nice.

He SUCKS!

[SeventyGTX]

The man must sleep with those teleprompters

[TrollBuster9090]

Every president since Eisenhower has used teleprompters to make speeches. Here's Ronald "The Great Communicator" Reagan using one to address the British Parliament.

upload. wikimedia. org/wikipedia/en/3/35/EESPEECH­. jpg

I'm sure Obama's people find it very re-assuring to think that the Obama haters can't find anything better to obsess about than birth certificates and teleprompters.

[SeventyGTX]

TB9090, yes, most Presidents have used teleprompters, but not EVERY time they get in front of a crowd! This guy is a baffoon without it, just do a youtube search for Obama Teleprompter.

Oh, and there is plenty more to obsess about this guy like unemployment at nearly 10% and rising daily, destroying capitalism, spending money like a drunken sailer, health care bill he knows nothing about, etc, etc, etc

The man is an ideolog pushing his radical agenda, he is NOT a leader.

[hn1983]

I agree, Bush was a horrible president :)

[datzfast]

need another beer sumit mother fucker

"You get nothing! You loose! Good day sir" - Willy Wonka

[Baileygeep7]

The worldwide athletics community just disqualified a hermaphrodite from competeition, they do the same thing to idiots who can't produce a valid birth certificate. Who better to run a country that has shit like john mccain, lindsay graham, olympia snowe, joe scarborough etc. as the opposition.

[PaintYourSilence]

Anyone who argues this was a waste of money has NO idea what they're talking about.

They don't understand what economic value hosting the Olympics games has. It's hundreds of millions worth of revenue! Why do you think it's such a big deal when a country receives that honor? It's like a country winning the lottery.

The leaders of the two primary competing nations where there. It would have seemed extremely careless on his behalf if he had sent subordinates to make his case.

[futuremlbplayer10]

Not when your leader has only had one talk with his general in Afganistan and won't listen to his requests, Obama is leaving our troops cold turkey because he's trying to be politically correct. He wont worry about our issues in Afganistan because he's afraid of left opposition to his "Healthcare" if he makes a move. Of coarse Obama went, he's a people pleaser

[flibadob]

Just because a military advisor said 'more troops' doesn't mean that's it.

The scope of warfare has changed. Enemy combatants don't wear enemy uniforms. They're not easily identifyable. The enemy is a state of mind and is passed around quickly. The more America shows it's aggression the faster the enemy seems to grow.

Think outside the box, that's the only way to defeat an enemy we can't find.

I'm not liberal or conservative blah blah. Just look at the issue from another perspective.

[XaviersSecretary]

(reply to flibadob)

The Commander in Chief gets the cream of the crop Generals through the Secretary of Defense. When the military commander makes a demand, the C.Chief had better have an ear for it, because he has just been advised by the commander that is in control of what is going on at the area we are fighting at.

Give Obama two more months to decide. Same time as we gave Bush. If he hasn't done anything about the troops come December, he Is going cold turkey on the military.

[flibadob]

I understand what you're saying and that's fair enough too. I'm sure the general's didn't get to where they were by being failures.

But in all fairness the country got itself into the pickle it is in now due largely to it's military interactions with the world. The same generals that would action this war.

It's not a clear cut route, and I'm not touting one option to be more or less valid, just stimulating discussion as people seem hell bent on saying a surge is the ONLY way to go. It isn't.

[ClappingForChlamydia]

BAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHHA

[scytheboy]

"They say that the Olympics will come to Chicago if we're fortunate enough to be selected, but, really it's coming to America. I can't think of a better city to represent the united states than Chicago." -George W. Bush.

[casinopoker]

Where I come from, state leaders do not involve themselves in such events. doesn't he have bigger issues to deal with? America already hosted the Olympics several times, Japan as well....Madrid and Rio were the right choices, even though Spain was host nation back in 1992

[roscoe85cj]

Obama should have stayed home ... think of how many of the NEW unemployed and homeless we could have fed this winter with the Millions him, his hate-america wife and that fatass Oprah spent on their trip... .. pathetic

[pmpursley]

Agreed

[gausert123]

revolution pending in US. Deal with that before trying to take on another Olympic games... hahahaha

OBAMA FAILURE

[catalinaguerrero]

brazil ftw!

[delta9999]

Guess that didn't work haha

[jazzfi]

he's wearing the clothes oh mayor daley, valerie jarrett, david axelrod, jeremiah wright, van jones, cass sunstein, et al.

[asphyxiafeeling]

Obama didn't fail, America did.

[bjornarntzen]

He came, he saw and he lost.

This bundle of hubris and arrogance better get used to it.

Smart??

[Liberalsareparasites]

This is on of the funniest things I've ever seen. obozo going down in flames, Fuck you obama.

[pwl1980]

Mr. President Obama,

I like you

you failed on the Olympics, that's fine - i couldnt care less.

but please dont fuck up the health care or else I will not vote for you.

public option is a damn minimum

best regards

P

[gobbledygookie]

He "failed" at the olympics? he just endorsed it in Chicago, geez...

[pwl1980]

poor wording

the point is that it doesnt matter.

[Govtflu]

DENIED.

Epic Fail.

[fgcarva1]

LOL

[blaikepp]

I......I......I

rugerbold couldn't have said it better!!!

[stevewalker12321]

Maybe the U.S. should have put forward a city that is less of a disgusting shithole.

[fgcarva1]

hahaha, Brazil deserves it tough

[RooFx]

very unbecoming a potus.

[loki109]

wow, this speech is appalling.......talking about himself most of the time. This is flat out embarressing.......I am glad Rio got it. We cannot afford this anyway.

[fgcarva1]

ye dude, this was a shitty speech, I am glad Brazil won!, but sad Chicago did bad (I am Brazilian and American)

[loki109]

I am a "dudette"...but, I am glad you agree with me. I have some very close friends who are Brazilian and what I have heard about Rio is fantastic. I have not been there yet.

[cagedtigersteve]

I don't think anybody could of gotten the Olympics for America because of the simple reason that lots of people beyond the borders hate America.

[TrollBuster9090]

I gather you've forgotten the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta Georgia and the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City Utah???

[cagedtigersteve]

Salt Lake City was decided way back in 1995, Atlanta was decided in 1987. From 2003 to the present, America has not been looked as favorably by the rest of the world. I'm not sure why.

[rugerbold]

Good! Now, Rio is going to have to spend billions of tax payer money to try to keep the looney terrorists from blowing everything up during the games. I wonder if Obama will blame ex-Pres. Bush for losing to Rio. He blames him for everything else.

[kurt2rsenjazz]

with good reason

[CollapsingClouds]

Rio is a great choice. First Latin American country that will host the Olympics. It's about time.

Nice try from Obama, though... :)

[terrence0258]

Epic Fail.

[MultiFku]

i don't get why rio was the right choice. are you an american jbeatty? this will help pull us out of recession by encouraging building. in turn, this will create jobs. i hope you are not an american saying that america's best days are in the past. i dont think this is useless. the olypmics is directly connected to the economy

[JBeatty17]

Rio de Janero was the right choice. The U.S. has hosted too many Olympics already, and it's time to give someone else a shot. Besides, America's best days are behind her. The time for global parity is among us.  That's a good thing in my book.

[cagedtigersteve]

Have you ever been to Rio? Not a pretty place.  Tokyo is much nicer.

[TrollBuster9090]

I agree, Brizil is hardly an example of "global parity." In fact, Brazil is the only developed country with a higher GINI Index than the U.S. (GINI Index being a measure of the gap between rich and poor.)

[fgcarva1]

u fail at spelling Brazil LOL

[TrollBuster9090]

...dude...

[SpasticSasha]

hey that european teleprompter is sooo cute

[TheManSand322]

The only problem with that is.... the world is going to end in 2012

[JBeatty17]

Sorry, I don't speak troll.

and out of all the beautiful places in this country, you picked chicago? sweet jebus

[KLNDR]

Bummer. =/

[achampag]

what a waste of fucking time! oh how i regret voting for you...we need health care you fuck!

[glory789]

How does spending a few hours in Coppenhagen going to make any difference good or bad with healthcare? Logic FAIL.

[adasw20]

Yeah and who else is going to give to you? dumb ass..

[Fareslols]

And the alternative would CLEARLY have gotten us healthcare, Right?

[macks3123]

He had to Endorse Chicago, it was a Public Relations Tactic. Actually he really didn't have a Choice. What else would he do??? Tell the Truth and say I don't want to Endorse Chicago Because it is Crime Infested with Gangs and Corrupt due to Crooked Politicians. The Day he tells the Truth, is the Day America Progresses. Don't get Your Hopes UP.

[TellsItLikeItIz]

Congratulations to RIO!! I was hoping Tokyo would win, but Rio is nice, too. :)

[TrollBuster9090]

"..I was hoping Tokyo would win."

So, you were hoping America would fail? Figures.

[Driverforhire]

Been in office for 9 months now and he just now said some good things about America. Cant wait to hear what he says now. I bet it hurt him to talk good about the USA.

[entropyfu]

you're full of shit.

[TellsItLikeItIz]

Really!! That's the first time I've ever heard him say anything favorable about the United States!! I'm surprised he didn't automatically start wrongly apologizing for America, as he usually does. The Obamas are a disgrace to this country.

[mgoldberg333]

We both know that isn't true.

[Innize]

Fuck off, troll.

[TrollBuster9090]

He says plenty of good, inspirational things about the United States, along with some legitimate criticisms. If you only hear the criticisms it says more about you than it does about Obama.

I want a leader, not a cheerleader.

[PelosiLiberalSwine]

Can you please find me a video clip of Obama ever saying " I love this country"

[TrollBuster9090]

You'd be hard pressed to find a video clip of any president saying exactly those words, but in case you haven't been listening, he says "God bless the United States of America" at the end of most of his speeches.

In his latest talk to the U.N., urging other countries to set a better example he quotes: 3:50 "As an African American I will never forget that I would not be here today without the steady pursuit of a more perfect union in my country."

watch?v=zBgzjbxGlX4

[entropyfu]

Rio it is.

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

I know one thing.. it'll be a Damn 2009 Olympics if this Economy doesn't turn around! :) REAL TALK!

[entropyfu]

It was just announced that Chicago was eliminated in the first round of voting.

[zhangqilupolyu]

He had an arrogant tone of voice. This is not something you speak to your citizen, you are talking to president of Olympic Committee. Even I listen to that I found that I dont like him for this moment. Totally wrong.......

[TheDuckofLaw]

Chicago is an interesting option.

[EmperorAtahualpa]

I was hoping for Tokyo to win! Anyway, always nice to see Obama giving a speech.

[tigerwoodsdeception]

Obama's Waterloo.

[KataVideo]

lol.  not

[tigerwoodsdeception]

LOl? Of course it's funny to you TIGERBOT! When will you get your head out of the sand and see the truth of the TIGER WOODS DECEPTION? Oh, that's right, you CAN'T because you have been programmed by the MSM to believe the LIES of your MESSIAH, ELDRICK TONT, who is not even a real Christian. He's Buddhist, you idiot, can't you seee that? Oh, that's right you can't because you are in denial of the truth of the TIGER WOODS DECEPTION!

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

AMERICA IS DOOMED!

GOLFERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

[StrictRevisionist]

No, you goofball, Waterloo is in Belgium.

[tigerwoodsdeception]

Oh, sorry. I guess you're right. My bad.

[ubtri]

It's too bad, because this would've actually boosted our economy, and it would've been an honor to host it for America.

[PersonalJesus348]

CHICAGO!

[olTOml24]

Hell of a pitch.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Great news today! Chicago has dodged a bullet.

[3star2nr]

we didnt get the bid because of the stupid immigration laws. half of the athletes wouldnt get a visa

[WKaliberr]

not really, China have stricter immigration laws and that worked out okay

[WKaliberr]

good, it would be a waste of money

[KataVideo]

agreed. montreal only finished paying off its olympic debt a couple of years ago.. from the 1976 olympics. 30 years of bad debt. the only ones making money off the olympics are the elite athletes and the major corporate sponsors.

bummer of a way to end the week for Obama, though.

[njcarlos1]

agree to both of you. i don't know why you guys are getting voted down. the Olympics are a burdensome responsibility. let's worry about getting our own affairs in order before hosting world games

[KataVideo]

I've been to Tokyo and Chicago several times. Neither needs the olympics to be world-class cities, especially Tokyo.

[Aaberg123]

I'm still rooting for Rio. South America has yet to have the Olympics on their continent (as far as I know).

Anyways, greetings from Copenhagen.

[belgurdo]

Mexico 68

Which ended up creating a massive riot and student massacre by the government, apparently

[lamouchemorte]

Newsflash: Mexico is in North America.

[belgurdo]

AIN'T NO MESSICANS IN MAH CUNTRY

[lamouchemorte]

Oh the little racist deleted his comment? Have you suddenly become ashamed of your ignorance?

[neobeetle]

Oh well....
