First, EVERY leader of an Olympic bid country was there. 2nd, what the hell is Kristol blabbing about? is he really criticizing Obama for being like Bush? GW- Kristol's BFF, the guy he defended no matter how wrong? Really? That's the best you can do, Billy? Say Obama is acting like a cowboy like your former crush? Third, what a patriot you are, Billy! Gleefully cheering the US economy losing an estimated 21 billion dollars, and over 300,000 full time jobs! Kristol defines the word "hypocrite".
Minnesota Public Radio's got the Olympic Committee quoted as saying something along the lines of getting the impression that Obama didn't really care and that he left before the proceedings were over. How exactly is that bullying?
Please give me the FULL quote where Obama apologizes for the UNITED STATES. I think he apologized for the shit Bush did to the World and to the USA!!!
Obama did make a mistake here. but to cheer and root for Chicago to fail, like the republicans did all through out was just disgusting to see.
republicans are patriotic when it only comes to interests of south and red states, or anything that serves their own interest. they are scums of earth.
More of a "We told you so" than rooting for fail. Half of the people in Chicago didn't even want the games there. So with that mindset, half the city was rooting and cheering for their city to fail. The is even a group that had a website to promote the games for Rio.
Obama just made himself look like an ass. Then he brought Oprah which was silly. You aren't going to get these people that vote on the games to sway their vote for Oprah. They don't care and were probably a little insulted.
Were are the polls that say half of Chicago didn't want the games? I smell bs. How did he make himself an ass by advocating for the USA? Pele came for Brazil, Were the rest of world Insulted by his presence?
The Public Option is not dead. 3 out of 4 bills being considered still include the public option. Please make your calls. If you need the numbers I have them on my profile.

elected named westerwelle is gay. the mayor of hamburg is gay and one of, or the best comedians around is gay but this fella tops all of`em combined, or how can one dude alone be soo fishy?
We are in a deep hole right now with no way to predict where we will be in 2016. We also have far more pressing matters than the Olympics right now. Finally, it seems a bit arrogant and underhanded for him to do this for his own city.
I am sure he has a lot of friends in Chicago that would make a lot of money from these games. No doubt that a kickback of funds would come his way.
Seems more like a personal insurance policy than a national issue. The votes for the games reflect this.
Do you know how many JOBS having the US host the Olympics would create FUCK WAD? Just the construction jobs would be enormous let alone everything else it takes to organize an run the events!
You're confusing Billy Kristol with Billy Crystal. One is a comedian who makes everybody laugh, and the other is a pernicious asshole who makes everybody's life a misery. You have to admit that The Project for a New American Century was one of the greatest comedy works of all times, while those "you are looking marvelous" Fernando Lamas impersonations were just...I don't know. Painful.
Obama, stop trying to please the Conservatives. You did this to show them you're a "patriot", and now they're laughing their asses off at you! Please, stop trying to appease the opposition and starting working for the people who actually VOTED for you! You better show your ass up to Copenhagen to discuss environmental policy. I don't care what the conservatives say.
They can't understand that people like and respect Obama. His actions are taken as sincere by other world leaders whereas Bush was a two faced hawk ready to attack and push his views on anyone.
I'm amused that Bill Kristol still has the same view of the world after he's been proved wrong on just about everything he believed was right in the last two decades. I'm even more amused that Fox News considers him a credible voice on anything, but they do employ Glenn Beck so its really not that amusing, more scary than anything.
Fox news and its viewers, the dumbservative crowd, would support and help al-qaeda attack us just to make president Obama look bad. In their tiny chicken brains somehow this "hurt" Obama. The president probably knew that Brazil was gonna get it, but if the king and queen of Spain, Japan's prime minister, and the Brazilian president, were all showing up, the president probably knew he faced even more criticism if he didn't spend the 4 hours he spent in Copenhagen pushing for the U.S.A.
"By Barack Obama's view of the world, he should have been rooting for Brazil to get the Olympics."
Or maybe Obama just wanted to bring employment the United States, and YOUR view of what Obama's view of the world is is just fucked up beyond all recognition, Billy.
I can't think of a single time when Bill Kristol has ever been right. It's like, if you want to make good public and foreign policy, find out what Kristol thinks and do the opposite."
the IOC did they same thing that fifa did for the world cup they let some country in a continent that hasn't had the Olympics so they could say see its not just Europe Asia or Northamerica who can get the games
What a stupid comment. To be "amused" by something like that...what the hell? The Chicago candidacy was a very long shot anyway, firstly because other candidates got higher scores in the reviews and secondly because South America has never hosted the Olympics before so it was bound to be Rio's turn.
The U.S. candidacy was a long shot to begin with because the U.S. has already hosted a recent summer Olympics (in Atlanta). But I'm glad Obama gave it his best shot anyways, and the truth is that if he hadn't tried, and Chicago didn't get it, the Obama Haters would have been whining about it even MORE. He really had no choice but to give it a shot.
While the IOC is certainly more progressive than the US gov..I mean come on,we're still fighting over universal health-care and if gay people are deserving of equal rights(both of which I'm a firm supporter)but where Is that respect for the office of the president that the right was so gung-ho about with bush?
you know people are going to find every possible and some impossible reasons to have something bad to say about obama. especially when his lowest approval ratings yet, around 52%, are still a majority approval rating, and much much higher than bush's were during his second term, which his all time low was 29%
its just proof that their mind for politics outweighs the needs and wants of americans. the people at that table are probably the only people they really talk to, and since they are all busy sniffing each other's asses, not much else matters to them
LOL.. "epic" fail? they only people who remembered this as of Friday afternoon where journalists and right-wing hate fucks trying to bleed it. birther it, deather it, 10th-er it.. keep playing it up, it makes you look crazy.
Well, Kristol demonstrates two things here - first, that he knows precisely dick about the effect of the Olympics on the economy - it's not at all clear that hosting the Olympics guarantees an economic boost, but second, and more importantly, that doesn't matter to him.
The only thing that matters to Kristol and his ilk is that their ideology survives, even if the country fails. There's a word for that mentality - it starts with a "t" and ends with a hanging.
no, I dont actually. But saying we dont need the boost of the olympics is down right retarded. granted only about 800 jobs, maybe more would be created and it is only for one city. But I would guarantee you if the olympics were proposed to be held in your city/town it would have the same favorability rating it had in Chicago. And incase you didnt know it was only 88%. P.S. dont use the word "dingleberry" it make you look childish
These people are so partisan and filled with anti-obama hatred, just like when Clinton was in office, that they're willing to root against ANY decision he makes, even if that includes speaking in defense of America for the Olympics in Chicago, just because HE said it! If it were Bush doing this, they'd love it! "Go Bush!" "Get the Olympics in Crawford" And as partisan as the Left can get as well, I seriously doubt his characterization of their potential reaction is remotely accurate.
although I totally disagree with everything he believes in, at least he can make a rational argument instead of droping bombs for shock value, one of the rare conservative that seem to actually have a brain
What a bunch of troglodyte jackasses. When will people stop listening to these morons? Esp. Bill Kristol, Fred Barnes and all the other neocon asswipes over at The Weekly Standard, perhaps THE WORST right-wing (and overall) media publication. "Saddam Must Go: A How-to guide" oh hahahaha... dumbass. Get serious.
kristol and the rest of these sunday bloviators must thank God for politics. in a more advanced society they would be nothing but logs on the fire...or in other words..useful.
The difference is that Kristol not only supported Bush when he was in power, worked to get him elected, and (through the PNAC) filled his empty head with his most destructive ideas, but he also supported PALIN in 2008.
Any Republican booster who supported Palin is, by definition, a partisan hack. Kristol is only badmouthing Bush now because it's politically expedient to say "Bush? Never heard of him."
And yours is extraordinarily verbose. What is it about certain personality types that think everybody who disagrees with them must be lying? It's a trait that is unique to conservatives and libertarians.
I said it was expedient for former Bush boosters to now repudiate him. It's the only chance they have of regaining any credibility. If you don't know the difference between a literal statement and a figure of speech, the ad hominem was well deserved.
Or perhaps you didn't understand the one you did watch, since the second part of what you claim to be Kristol's Bush bashing was actually Kristol speculating on what others would have said if a Republican had done what Obama did.
My exact quote was: 'Kristol is only badmouthing Bush now because it's politically expedient to say "Bush? Never heard of him."'
I said Kristol was badmouthing Bush. I followed it up with a figure of speech which you fixated on, ignoring the first part of what I said. Maybe you have a short attention span.
Kristol's preface to the second set of remarks is heard after the 30 second mark. "Can you imagine if some Republican, if Bush had done this..."
my god bill kristol is paid to do this? my god, is he selected by merit for this job? he SUCKS at original ideas of any kind. each week he gets worse and worse.
The economy does not need the boost from the Olympics? Fox news, the Republicans and the conservative have been giving President grief about the economy not bouncing back and Krystol says we don't need it?Make up your mind! And Obama did not bully anybody, Fox News like to make shit up.
Just another controversial subject with know importance being talked about by people finding it funny we are (and should be) a laughing stock. Our country is being run into the ground by a bank and this is the subject matter? Morons them all!

Kristol's point is a good one.
I'M AMUSED at how Democrats must always find a way to steer from whatever the point whenever anyone has the AUDACITY to make one of their politics. Typically, their tactic is ad hominem -- divert from the message by attacking the messenger.
No matter how low the bar falls, Democrats will always manage to slither under it.
Go back to listening to Limbaugh/Beck and Hannity you moron. Arguing with you right-wing neocon, knuckle dragging neanderthals is like trying to teach a pig to sing. It annoys the pig and wastes our time.

Your zero-intelligence policy is crystal clear. As for your latest confusion,
FOCUS:
* Tea-bagging -- a specific sex act between two homosexual men in a lifestyle the Democrat party federally sponsors and teaches to everyone's children.
* Tea Party -- Americans protesting the Democrat party's lawless expansions of the federal government.
Your idiocies are replete. They shine through no matter what topic you Democrats scurry to for cover.

This video is about Kristol, not Beck.
Beyond that, I educated you on the differences between the protesters (Tea Party) and sexual perversions your party teaches to everyone's children (tea-bagging).
All you did was to boast that you reject reality, and then you tried to smear your 9/11-Truther movement onto others.
It's fun to chronicle the span of idiocies required of Democrat devotees.
Obamabots talking about being intelligent! BWA HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Hey Harlem monkey, who are you voting for? "Obama!" why? ..."uh.... change! Yeah!" Are you happy he picked Palin to be his running mate? "Syre am! I think she'll do a good job!" ... yeah... now go sell some more crack, azzwipe. LMAO - intelligence and Obamabots - they go together like oil and water if I ever saw it! LMAO

Nice spelling. It's loser, and that's what you are. Nice life, Obama-ass-kisser. Go commit suicide and make the country a better place, you socialist pig. I won't see your comments anymore as you are on block.
NeoCons talking about being intelligent! Hey Nascar watching goat fucking redneck monkey, who are you voting for? "SayRAH Paylin!" why? "because ma hero Glen Beck told me that they tuuk er jerbs!! and because I don't want no damn AyRABS takin ova this here country." Now what are some issues... "he's a mooslim, a communist, a socialist, a fascist, and the god damn anti-crystal if you ask me. You know that those are completely dif... "USA USA USA, git outta ya damn commie, YEEHAH git er done."
Gee, nice ramble. Did you do a lot of drooling while you said that? Can you now find something to actually back that up with? You see, I can back my statement up. Search Howard Stern Harlem voters... then search for how obama got elected - and you'll see actual proof of how uneducated Obama voters are. Now. Do tell me one thing Obama has done for this country since he's been president. LOL - just one. LMAO... oh how I love mopping the floor with you liberals. Hehehehehe!!!! Night night!
I can show you proof of how uneducated McCain/Palin voters are as well, fuckhead! Newsflash there stupid reps. and stupid dems, normally the reps are functioning retards but thats another story. Ummm... but it seems you have your head so far up Beck's ass that no amount of facts will penetrate that skull of yours, I mean you presume victory when no one is actually debating you,lol.
I am not debating you because you are insignificant. The faster you understand that the better.People like you come home after being shitted on at your little pathetic job, and then take refuge on the internet and pretend to be learned and sophisticated. I am sorry that you have such as serious inferiority complex and I am sorry you have to begrudgingly shove your cock into the same shell of a woman you married 20 something years ago.
Well, you know what they say about people who insult others on the internet. EVERYTHING you just said about me is what YOU really are and you're simply projecting. It's very common. It's OK, though. Your mother still loves you. (at least someone does).
why don't you stop being a scared little bitch by writing on my wall while refusing me to write on your wall and put everything on here. Scared you will get more embarrassed?
Now that's some funny shit. This guy Kristol looks like the kind of guy who'd fuck you in the ass and not give you the proper courtesy of a reach around.

That would be like a bank loaning a guy money to buy a house so that he could then sell the same house back to the bank at a profit.
Although, knowing our govt., they might have just printed the money, further diluting our money, in order to pay to host the Olympics.

The Olympics can make a profit, especially in the U.S. where ad space is King.

It was perfect for the American television networks, which accordingly stumped up a lot of money.
Corporate sponsors too were falling over themselves to pay big money for their name in track lights.
Chicago's biggest problem would have been space to use, but they had that set aside.
It's always good to be the host country.

True, Bill Kristol and Fox"News" love the odor of their own flatulence.
But then, nothing said on the network has sounded like anything but such flatulence.

Well, Kristol demonstrates two things here - first, that he knows precisely dick about the effect of the Olympics on the economy - it's not at all clear that hosting the Olympics guarantees an economic boost, but second, and more importantly, that doesn't matter to him.
The only thing that matters to Kristol and his ilk is that their ideology survives, even if the country fails. There's a word for that mentality - it starts with a "t" and ends with a hanging.

savior02 2 years ago
no, I dont actually. But saying we dont need the boost of the olympics is down right retarded. granted only about 800 jobs, maybe more would be created and it is only for one city. But I would guarantee you if the olympics were proposed to be held in your city/town it would have the same favorability rating it had in Chicago. And incase you didnt know it was only 88%. P.S. dont use the word "dingleberry" it make you look childish

In every single olympics, the country spends WAY more money then they make,, even considering long term effects which are miniscule.

These people are so partisan and filled with anti-obama hatred, just like when Clinton was in office, that they're willing to root against ANY decision he makes, even if that includes speaking in defense of America for the Olympics in Chicago, just because HE said it! If it were Bush doing this, they'd love it! "Go Bush!" "Get the Olympics in Crawford" And as partisan as the Left can get as well, I seriously doubt his characterization of their potential reaction is remotely accurate.

Did any of you people even watch this video?
Kristol the Neo-Con Zionist lays into Bush heavily and you just take away that he made fun of Obama? Then YOU complain about partisanship? Laughable.
Apsu88 2 years ago
The difference is that Kristol not only supported Bush when he was in power, worked to get him elected, and (through the PNAC) filled his empty head with his most destructive ideas, but he also supported PALIN in 2008.
Any Republican booster who supported Palin is, by definition, a partisan hack. Kristol is only badmouthing Bush now because it's politically expedient to say "Bush? Never heard of him."
TrollBuster9090 2 years ago
I'm aware he supported Bush, thus "Neo-Con Zionist".
I'm also aware that he is partisan, as implied in my initial comment.
In this video Kristol ragged Bush, he didn't say he had "never heard of him".
Your retort seems extraordinarily disingenuous.
Apsu88 2 years ago
"Your retort seems extraordinarily disingenuous."
And yours is extraordinarily verbose. What is it about certain personality types that think everybody who disagrees with them must be lying? It's a trait that is unique to conservatives and libertarians.
TrollBuster9090 2 years ago
I'm sorry forty words bears so greatly upon your patience.
So you still hold that Kristol stated he had "never heard of Bush"?
Or do you admit you were mischaracterizing his statements?
I'll ignore your pathetic ad hominem's and baseless presumptions as they're not worth rebutting.
Apsu88 2 years ago
I said it was expedient for former Bush boosters to now repudiate him. It's the only chance they have of regaining any credibility. If you don't know the difference between a literal statement and a figure of speech, the ad hominem was well deserved.
TrollBuster9090 2 years ago
Repudiation and disassociation are two wholly different things.
If you don't see the difference betwixt the two you deserve an ad hominem yourself.
Apsu88 2 years ago
When did he "lay into Bush"?
What I watched was a nasty attempt to smear Obama by making Bush a victim of the same smear techniques he's using.
He sounds a bit desperate to me.
It's hard to be smug when you're losing.

"In this sort of George W. Bush way that just bully the IOC... typical Bush heavy-handedness, cowboy, lateralist, hegemonic, Imperialist, action..."
Perhaps you watched a different video...
Apsu88 2 years ago
Or perhaps you didn't understand the one you did watch, since the second part of what you claim to be Kristol's Bush bashing was actually Kristol speculating on what others would have said if a Republican had done what Obama did.
TrollBuster9090 2 years ago
Where, please quote his preface that states he is speculating.
He transitions from how Brazil is more deserving in his estimation to"
"And then we have this American President in this kind of George W. Bush like way tries to bully..." etc etc.
More propagandistic jingoism that simply isn't there.
Speaking of which you have yet to show me where Kristol said he "never heard of Bush" or to redact your statement...
Apsu88 2 years ago
My exact quote was: 'Kristol is only badmouthing Bush now because it's politically expedient to say "Bush? Never heard of him."'
I said Kristol was badmouthing Bush. I followed it up with a figure of speech which you fixated on, ignoring the first part of what I said. Maybe you have a short attention span.
Kristol's preface to the second set of remarks is heard after the 30 second mark. "Can you imagine if some Republican, if Bush had done this..."
Again, maybe a short attention span.
TrollBuster9090 2 years ago
I see, I must have overlooked you saying he was badmouthing Bush. As long as someone else noticed the true hilarity of this incident.
That preface isn't much of a preface at all since it occurs after the initial set of comments and only vaguely applies to what he follows with.
Yes, my attention span is notoriously short as should be apparent from my stark illiteracy and lack of care in my punctuation.
More ad hominem [yawn] perhaps the troll you should be busting is yourself.
Apsu88 2 years ago
He said "our economy doesnt need the boost of the olympics",,,sigh
1, The us economy is a disaster
2. an independent study of the past 3 olympic games show that an average 2 billion dollars have been lost.
So ironically he's absolutely right... the us does not need, and do not have the money, to put on the olympics....not sure who does...

Kristol's point is a good one.
I'M AMUSED at how Democrats must always find a way to steer from whatever the point whenever anyone has the AUDACITY to make one of their politics. Typically, their tactic is ad hominem -- divert from the message by attacking the messenger.
No matter how low the bar falls, Democrats will always manage to slither under it.

Your zero-intelligence policy is crystal clear. As for your latest confusion,
FOCUS:
* Tea-bagging -- a specific sex act between two homosexual men in a lifestyle the Democrat party federally sponsors and teaches to everyone's children.
* Tea Party -- Americans protesting the Democrat party's lawless expansions of the federal government.
Your idiocies are replete. They shine through no matter what topic you Democrats scurry to for cover.
