  • what a bunch of hypocritical morons. if sarah palin went over there and lost, fox would be bad mouthing brazil. OR them neo cons are so afraid of having "foreigners" in their country for two weeks that they'll do anything to insult the olympics.

  • fucking anti-American bastards at their best!

  • GOP = greedy old pedophiles.

  • @disturbed341 DNC = Dimwitted Nazi Crooks

  • @StoogeWatcher careful, nazi leadership had high IQ

    9 out of 25 would've been mensa members :D

  • @Darusdei Yes, Nazi leadership had high IQ and they never really believed their own rhetoric. They would just say what would get the dumb people to follow them. Those leaders are just the very few smart ones within that ideological group. Whereas those with a higher IQ make up the majority of liberals.

  • @funkbrother216 well it becomes pretty clear when you let these "conservatives" open their mouths

  • There were a lot of people in Chicago who didn't want the Olympics there. Did any of you Dumbocrats consider them?

  • well maybe it's the fact that Rio bid 3-4 times as much money as Chicago did or the fact that Rio would likely draw in a lot more foreign tourists to the games as Chicago would... I'd rather seen Brazilian women on the beach in bikinis than fat woman in chicago stuffing their face...

    anyways, just so the libtards don't have to respond to this comment, I'm a racist and so is the IOC and it's Bush's fault....

  • did lou dobbs just say 'talkin smack'?

    man, these dudes are gettin left behind...

  • i dont hate obama becuse he is black- i disagree with his openly marxist policies -- hence the name obamao--obama+mao=obamao

  • obama + michelle obama X  oprah = olympic failure

  • OBAMAO=  OLYMPIC SIZED FAILURE

  • I'd say these "Conservatives" were pilling up on the Presidnet. But, hey, I guess they were right to rag on him.

    How many black kids have dies in Chicago since we had change in D.C.?

  • We don't need the world seeing what a crime infested cesspool that Chicago is. You know, The Windy, I mean Shitty City.

  • You people supporting bad for your own country are CRAZY. Conservatives seem to be mentally ill people.

  • Actually, it's liberals who are mentally ill.

  • Yawn. I can't remeber how many times conservatives have made that claim. Liberalism is not a mental illness. Thinking the world is 6000 years old because the Bible says so is a mental illness.

  • Truth be told...many Olympics end up costing the hosting country more than they make(tax payer money). His Karl Rovish advisor Valerie Jarrett would have made out like a bandit on the real estate deals involved. And other Chicago types would have milked this for all it was worth. I am kinda glad Brazil got the chance to host. I was also kind of disappointed in the pres. for showing up in person. It kind of lowers the high standing of the office. It was beneath him, even if it is his home city.

  • right... people are going to leave the rep party because of the olympics.. ur smart

  • silly conservatives.

  • Silly liberals. Would YOU be prepared to swim in red ink for the next 20 years?

  • The Truth hurts doesn't it liberals??? hahaha, you can't handle the truth.

  • Comment removed

  • I know one thing..that 21% Republican base will keep shrinking with conservative sentiments like this.

  • FOX NEW IS FUCKING RESTARTED. BUT honestly here is why the Olympics aren't needed in Chicago. Our country is in shit it is COMPLETE IRRESPONSIBILITY given our economic situation to put out billions to build new stadiums and prep Chicago for 2016. Totally fucking retarded our economy isn't anywhere close to what it needs to be at to spend that kinda money. We're a trillion in the hole and counting but HEY what a few more Billions when its the peoples money.

  • I am so tired of people trying to just trash everything the president does. It would of been a huge economic boost . People like Glenn Beck make me sick, if RIO is so "awesome" you should just go there, and stay there! And take fox news with you !

  • that's not what you people said the last 8 years, when you lot trashed everything the president does

  • Because bush was a fucking idiot. A perfect example would be the Iraq war which we had no business getting into.

    When katrina hit, bush was no where to be found and thousands of people died while he sat on his ass in his ranch @ texas. John McCains birthday was more important to him.

  • Now if that was Bush trying to bring the Olympics to Texas while he was in office, he would have been a hero to these conservative right-wing bullies. Conservatives are so hypocritical. I don't recall them complaining when Bush was in China for three days watching the Olympics.

  • The point is there are more important things to deal with than getting the Olympics in Chicago. Like Iran, North Korea, out of control government spending that we, and our kids, and their kids will be paying for.

  • HKUser92, we understand you Neocons can't do two things at once. Actually you did nothing for eight years. Crawl back in your cave if you can't make a valid point. You hypocrite.

  • i respect what you guys are doing...but your honestly wasting your breath crying about what the other party thinks. how about u all stfu and start planning on how we can help the American people and get the corrupt politicians out of office and prevent them from stealing from us all, that's a thought anyway. if you wana be like most other idiots that live in this country i insist please continue to whine about something that's already done.

  • horrible. The republicans applauded for the USA missing out on a $22.4 billion dollar increase in the economy. "We don't need no 311,000 new jobs"....what a bunch of douche bags. Not a surprise from the people that want you to die quickly if you get sick.

  • Honestly.

    Fat Americans or goergeous bikini latinas ?

    It's an easy choice.

  • So much for caring for AMERICA Conservative media, you assholes cheered when Chicago and AMERICAN City Lost.

    CHICAGO BOYCOTT FOX NEWS AND CONSERVATIVE MEDIA!!!

  • Gang violence and coruption in Rio is a much bigger problem there than it is in Chicago. In Rio the gangs operate as small militias. There are slum villages all around Rio. Rio has a 7 years to get its act together and it will involve displacing millions of poor people.

  • HAHAHAHA FOX NEWS FAIL

  • Thank God the olympics aren't gonna come to Chicago. What an embarasment that would be for the U.S.. not to mention all the visitors lives saved. Only an idiot would push for chicago

  • i like when they talk about something extremely unimportant, like the olympics. and then let all the important news scroll at the bottom of the screen, (bombings in pakistan, dead soldiers). and then old glenn beck at 1:36 acts like he and his news network aren't the people turning the olympics into a "controversy".

    FUCK THE OLYMPICS, FOX.

    YOU HAVE SOLDIERS DYING FOR YOUR ROTTING ASSES OVERSEAS.

  • SEARCH: 4EGGS1CUP

  • Barack Hussein Obama

    MMH MMH MMH

    guess what? he DID fail.

  • The conservatives will be against anything Obama is for that is a fact, no matter how good it is. I'm from Michigan and I would have loved to have the Olympics 3 hours away! What's wrong with having the Olympics in the US? The conservatives have found yet one more ridiculous thing to argue about. This is a dying party, literally!

  • It's not having them in the US that's the issue, it's about the city that was chosen.

  • Got news for you dude...........I will bet you any amount of money the Republicans make major gains in both houses in 2010 elections....and if you knew your political history you would understand what is coming

    I am neither conservative or liberal and I am happy as hell the Olympics are not in Chicago....I live an hour outside of Chicago.....it is flushing money down the toilet

  • Nothing wrong with having them in the USA.. however HUGE problem having them in Chicago.

  • I am very happy that we are not going to lose money by putting on a show, all for the good of B O's Cronies.

  • misleading title haha

  • malkin is a monkey ass skank

  • conservatives are not against the olympics,if you beleive this,then your drinking the kool aid.conservatives beleive that there are more pressing issues to be focused on right now, like all the jobs the "messiah" was supposed to create,and stableizing the economy.sorry,but anyone who thinks the olympics are more important than these issues is fucked up.

  • Sure it would have been great if Chicago would host the Olympics. If The Windy City were to host it, then it would generate a ton of jobs up until 2016. However, I think Obama shouldn't have gone to Copenhagen because there are more important issues at hand. Such as Iran and their nuclear facilities and tactical missiles. Not only that, but Obama said that he wouldn't have gone to focus on health care reform (even though I don't agree with his stance on it). That is the true outrage.

  • Check the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Chicago isn't the worst hit city by unemployment AND It would create temporary jobs and generate temporary money.

  • I never said that it was the worst hit city by unemployment. If you actually read what I wrote, you would have seen that I said that it would generate jobs UP until 2016, which are temporary.

  • I didn't say YOU said that (If you had read what I wrote), I was just making my point that by your reasoning ie Needed jobs and revenue, it would be logical to pick a more needy city.

  • Rio de Jenaro seems like a more logical place because it is just a perfect location for the Summer Olympics. It would generate much needed job revenue for Rio de Jenaro also. Plus, it's the first (me thinks)time that a South American country has hosted the Olympics.

  • Isn't that what we just had? With all the swimming and kayaking? I am confuse.

  • Is it so bad that I said that Obama should have focused on the more important issues?

  • It's not like he's ignoring anything. He's promoting the Olympics. They would have criticized him for NOT promoting him if he didn't.

  • cons are scum of the earth

  • yea, conservatives are the reason this country is fucked up

  • could not have said it better, myself

  • i'm glad Rio got the Olympics. First I'm no fan of Oblama but at least a 3rd world country can have something good come there way.

  • Brazil isnt really a third world country.

  • Fuck that big eared jungle bunny and his mongrel whore wife...a bullet is too good for 'em.

  • This is the worst outrage from an American president?!?! What about Johnson's actions during Reconstruction? WHAT AN ASS.

  • when I was a kid, I used to think grownups were grown up. Now that I'm an adult, I see everyone hasn't changed at all. The world is just a big playground with the same idiots.

  • They can relax now :-D

  • Alan Grayson was right; They really are knuckle dragging neanderthals, hypocrites!

    Why do republicans hate America so much?

    The Grand Obstructionist Party!

  • The obstructionism displayed by fox is not about chicago, or the crime there, it's about making Obama look bad.

    I can't believe that people are falling for that.

  • we love America and we hate corrupt Chicago politics, this is a victory for America

  • Could it be that possibly these people are correct ?? Lets see .....RIo- Beautiful city, Georgous woman walking on the beach,terrific weather, lovely cities. CHICAGO- Grimey city with blakc gangs killing each other with two by fours. Hmmmmm.. now whcih one would YOU pick ??

  • Rio has so much violence, crime and drug-trafficking it makes chicago look like poughkeepsie in comparison.

  • exactly. They continuously bring up Chicago's crime rate...and yet Rio's murder rate is 6 times that of Chicago's, and there are entire sectors of the city where the municipal government has NO control.

  • Not only that watch youtube video "v=S8Yall-t-Fg" How could anyone in their right sense compare the United states to Brazil. We have laws that protect children from sex abusers. These conserves are mad that they are being watched now by the government.

  • I don't think Americans should mind the comparison itself but the wrongful conclusions drawn from it. It should be noted that this report was made by the same people who claim America is perfect when it suits them.

    America is in a crises and not already recovering like Europe and Australia so the money really could have helped the economy and the people, especially people who are out of a job right now.

  • Just curious....Let's say the city of Miami were in the running to hold the 2016 Olympics....would President Obama have flown to Copenhagen then?

  • Obama can kiss my ass!

  • Good old conservatives....still trying to live in the 16th century.

  • Gangster politics? Last time I checked that goes hand in hand with the GOP more than with the Dems.

  • I can't wait until some of these lying anti-American GOP TV hacks go to Chicago one day and get their ass beat down for badmouthing and misrepresenting one of the greatest cities in America.

  • GOP= STUPIDITY

  • Fox exploited a young man's death to make an anti-Olympics argument? Holy shit - these people are fucked up. Fuck the neocons.

  • No, they didn't you just happen to be an absolute moron. I am sorry for you.

  • stupid.

  • lol "gangster politics" was something Rove et all already got a patent on.

  • The American economy is crumbling and Obongo is jetting around on AF1 trying to make some money for the trash in Chicago.

    Hope and change.

  • You sound like more of an ass than he suppositely looks,which I disagree with.

    You invalids dont even realize he was trying to better the economy by bringing business here.you so engulfed in hate that you dont even see it.

    & I love how the racist conservatives use sarcasm to try and downplay they're real reasons for being against Obama.LOL.You can spew that sarcasm all you want,but if it walks like a duck & talks like a duck...you know the rest. What you say means nothing. actions scream.

  • I thought the Porkulus....I mean Stimulus Bill was supposed to put everyone back to work? 9.8% unemployment!?

    But that's what you Libratrds do.......you TRY to deflect from Obama's socialist policies by throwing out the race card. It's about his policies....not the man.

    Your actions too scream LOUDER than your words. 2010 can not come sooner!

  • So Obama promised that one of his major goals as president, once he was elected, was to withdraw the US military from current major deployments. I am discontent with the fact that he LIED about that SO I MUST BE A RACIST, Right?

    Now I'm not saying that I do or don't support the war I'm just saying Americans expected him to keep his word, well he didn't

    Criticism doesn't have anything to do with racism. And Obama did look like an ASS because he FAILED, the olympics went to Rio.

  • Funny how a whole nation has to watch out how it walks and breaths, everyone has to carefully measure every word they say...

    "Oh man he opposes or dislikes Obama he MUST be a racist" (sarcasm)

    You know what else so what if he's a racist he has the right to be as long as he's not infringing another citizen's constitutional rights (obeying the law)

    And I'm just saying that because I'm tired of how every political argument in this nation has to be about racism at some point.

  • I think its hilarious that you want to ignore an issue that is really bubbling to the surface. You cant ignore the elephant in the room forever.

    Do your research. They are coming out of the woodworks ADMITTING they dont like him. & it has nothing to do with politics or anything. They just hate him.

    I dont know how you feel about race, but make no mistake, racism is still alive and well and we, yes all black people, are really feeling the burn. Like it or not, it's reality unfortunately.

  • I didn't know Fox was a nature channel. This is a group of hyenas gathering to feast on any scrap of brainless non news they can get their dull fangs on.

  • NO i disagree with much of what The President of the United States has done and proposes to do; however, it is quite un-American to cheer the loss of the U.S. bid for the Olympics. Move to Rio jack-ass.

  • This is the real Rio.. Why, indeed, are more and more Brazilian children dying while society already has at hand powerful tools for the protection of their rights?

    The answer, lamentably, is that killing children is a profitable 'pastime' in Brazil. The so called 'cycle of impunity' means not only neglect or omission, but a rather profitable corruption scheme within public security and law-enforcement agencies.

  • Its amazing how much republicans hate America.

  • Republicans would cooperate with Al-Qaeda just to make president Obama look bad. These people are obssesed with the making the president look bad and they will do whatever it takes. I'm sure the president knows what he is up agaisnt.

  • Obama goes to back an Olympic bid for a few hours- gets criticized. Bush goes for a few days and what? Nothing?

    Double standards are GREAT?!

  • LMAO! yes, but do you know what's even greater? Bush bashers and Liberals talking about double standards...

  • Cool! You agree with me and call me great. Thanks buddy!

  • yes, there are double standards on each side. I am not ignorant, like many people on both sides, to realize that both sides are hypocritical in nature, and have double standards. It just so happens that I'm a conservative, and do not agree with most liberal policies.

  • We will, don't worry...

  • don't count on it pal, they'll still be blaming everything on Bush in 2050

  • THESE ARE EVIL AMERICANS

  • And limbaugh and beck were beside themselves with happiness at obama's failure.

    Yippee!!!!!!!

  • I've never heard a U.S. city trashed as bad as by these guys: "Gangster politics that will make al capone happy!" "Rio is awesome." "I'm actually for Rio." "Chicago its fat people eating."

    These guys should all be deported to brazil.

    Bastards.

  • Comment removed

  • The memory of this epic fail on the part of Dear Leader and the trash of Chicago will keep me warm all winter.

  • same here, seeing corrupt Daley fail is PRICELESS

  • What about us Non-conservatives who were against the Olympic bid for Chicago ?

    Where do we fit in ?

  • The dumbing DOWN of the modern Republican Party . . . Buckley Goldwater Nixon's Southern Strategy Reagan (TALK) Religious right hijacks Jesus. Limbaugh (MORE talk) Bush/Cheney Palin Birthers And 90+% of these DIMWITS continue to ask "What would Reagan/Limbaugh do?" This is NOT the party of Lincoln, that's for sure.
  • There was a video of Obama trying to figure out how to open the french windows on the White House thinking they where doors. Imagine the ridicule if that would have been Bush!

  • that's because Bush was considered an ignoramus even by his best friends, where as Obama is known to be a smart cookie - it was funnier when Bush did it because it was evidence of his clumsiness - when Obama does it, it's a simple mistake - not so funny

  • I like what Dennis Miller said!!!

    So True!

  • I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR WHERE THEY SAID THAT. I wont because they did not!!!! Spin city now on YouTube!!! Not only on the main stream media.

  • Ridiculing a lost bid by the President for the Olympic games is not even in the same class as rooting for the Iraqi insurgents during the war. Not even close to what you fuckers where doing!

  • this clip should be called conservatives againt ANYTHING THE PRESIDENT DOES. the man could cure aids and they would bitch about taking jobs away from doctors. they are all terrorists.

  • He couldn't "cure" a fart!

  • Who can?

  • The USA is losing prestige and respect not because of CHICAGO neither because of the American people, BUT because of the politicians and leaders of this great nation.

    Now I ask you; if even our own leaders DO NOT respect our culture and our constitution then who else will?

  • Libtards just can't handle a bit of their own medicine!

  • Both conservatives and liberals are idiots fighting for nothing. Democraps and Republicants are stupid too.

  • Lol, conservatives hating on America.

    Nice, no credibility left, conservofaggggs.

  • It was an epic historical fail for everyone but Chicago residents who would have had to foot the bill for this joke.

  • Ironic how people are pulling stuff out of their ***** and saying things about crime without any statistic data or facts. Like Rio has way more crime than Chicago, etc.

    You want to find a reason why the US wasn't selected; maybe Chicago has less crime/corruption than Rio. But you should also have a look at D.C

    LOOK at how this country has been conducted the pass decade

    I bet you're going to find more crime and corruption in D.C. alone than in the rest of the US and maybe even Brazil.

  • Your rite about Rio having more crime than Chicago!

    But come on... Rio is way better than Chicago!!!! Besides I think South America should have it. They ve never

    had it.

  • You dumb prick read my comment again...

    I never said that Rio has more crime than Chicago or vice-versa

    I said that some people like that reporter are pulling stuff out of their asses

    The reporter said that without actually having any statistical data on any city.

  • Why dont yall attack FOX news when BECK says that the fedral reserve is monitizing the debt after it told congress it wouldnt. BECAUSE HE OBVIOUSLY HAS NO PROOF.... O WAIT he does have proof ;(

  • Comment removed

  • Its fox news... would you expect anything different? If a republican president wanted the Olympics in the USA they wouldn't complain...

  • that's what Obama gets, going around apologizing for America, then expects to get handouts for his hip hop presence? nope.

  • in Rio we can smoke weed crack but in USA no,,and also i hate USA....FUSAK

  • You have never been to Rio so you wouldn't know...

  • US invade and kill thousands >>>this is what i know...and you want the olympic??

    olympic of what?? kill 100 in one air strike??

    US will get gold midle

    ??

  • salam##**- you are as disturbed as youe screen name. :( its sad.

  • i receive your message and you received mine....

  • That Olympic committee took one look at a 300 lb Oprah standing next to a chain smoking Obama and said Hell No we don't them to represent athletics. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with racism in America, but it DOES have something to do with the elitism of a fat rich Oprah and a smoking Obama who want to represent athletes.. What hypocrites

  • Very intelligent comment.

  • I love the OLYMPICS!!! wish I could go to Rio but it would be too expensive. at least if it was in Chicago I could go.

  • Mayor Daley is the most powerful Mayor in America - he's used to getting his way........ too bad the rest of the world doesn't care about him.

    AS for the Republicans; They just need something to bitch about

  • No one wants Obama to fail but what Obama and his wife did its sick !They are acting as they were King and Queen ! It is sick ! He could also visit Nobel prize guys and tell them that his wife should be rewarded ! Not even Russian Tzar acted like this.

  • Oh brother, talk about crazy talk.

  • They defied Obama?! They are simply UNAMERICAN! They hate this country! I mean, for the 8 years that democrats hated Bush, that was acceptable, but this is outrageous!!

  • Im so confused at how republicans can hate on America and a great American city. They never pulled this when GWB was in the White House. It is despicable on the part of the GOP that they can root for another city in another part of the world. Then again the republicans are only out for themselves so I guess that makes sense.

  • people are crazy and will doanything.

  • Im British and its pretty clear watching all this, people are racist and want Obama (Black guy) to fail. If he took over from a great president and not like the brainless fuck Bush then I could understand some of the criticism.

  • I'm Russian. I cannot agree anymore with what you said. America has always been a land filled with vile, racist scums that deserve to die.

    I'm not saying all Americans are like this BUT A VERY LARGE PORTION of them are. Some people try to tell me that only a very tiny minority of Americans are racist but that assertion is pure BS.

    Just go to the YT pages of many average American citizens, and you'll see just just how racially hateful a lot of Americans are.

  • ur proably right, like you wouldnt BELEVE how many youtube users ive seen who are anti islamic/anti muslim. I haven't really been to the midwest or talked to a lot of non family in east coast, but in the bay area here, people seem to be cool with my identities since its so diverse.

  • islam is fascism so of course we are against it

  • Then you have no idea what Islam is about then you ignorant fuck.

  • O yes I do know, it has always been about terror and murder. Islam killed more people than any other ideology. Warmonger/pedophile/murderer/r­apist Muhammad didn't invent it for good reasons.

  • And Russians aren't?

    Shut the fuck up.

    There are very few people with a real conviction of racism.

  • THANK YOU!!! These three parrots yapping about racism, I dislike this kind of morons so much... Hypocrites, one is from the UK which is known for colonial exploitation, including the Atlantic slave trade and the other one is from Russia which we all know would have fought alongside Hitler if he didn't hate the Slavs (them).

    I like Brits & Russians and I'm not generalizing but I'm just pointing out that they have no right to accuse Americans of being racist.

  • That was the past, Im talking about the present.

  • Russia has neonazis beating up Africans in Moscow all the time

  • Obama isnt black, idiot

  • More black than white

  • more white than black, deal with it

  • If that were the case, he wouldnt getting as much hate as he is, thats a fact so deal with that.

  • No. It's completely fine to think that Obama is wrong. Your opinion is your opinion. It's just frustrating to constantly have news coverage that takes things too far to the extreme. I'm pretty sure watergate was a bigger outrage than obama supporting the chicago ollympics. Differing opinions is what makes the world keep going, but some comments are a little much.

  • This is pathetic. People dislike Obama so much that they wouldn't even want the Olympics to come to America.

    fucking Fox, fucking conservatives.

  • You're kidding me right? I'm sure some people are crazy and they wouldn't want the olympics here for some weird political reason, but a lot of people (myself included) aren't too mad about it not coming here for good economic reasons.

  • Yeah, that's fine..but look at these people on Fox...."Have you been to Rio? I have...it's AWESOME"

    seriously? Move to Brazil, you obviously don't support you county bitch.

  • I just said that some people didnt support it for political reasons, the people on fox. I on the other hand (along with a lot of other people) didn't support the bid simply because WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. I wouldn't have been angry if we got it, but Im certainly not crying because we didn't.

  • Yeah, I understand that. I'm just saying that these people who ARE bashing it for political reasons are disgusting.

  • Remember how you liberals bashed Bush relentlessly? It's your turn now, suck it up!

  • Damn right, payback will be a bitch, and the Zerobamunist will give us plenty of material.
