I gotta say though, polls showed that 1/3 to 1/2 of Chicagoans didn't want it. I didn't vote for Obama or McCain, I wanted Hillary. That said, I've never liked Obama (he's dangerous JMHO), just as bad as Bush/Cheney. Maybe we could bring Merkel from Germany when she's done with her 2nd term.
PS: Crazy Glenn Beck did a real # on motives for Chicago Olympics. I think Rio's much better choice for Olympic party.
BurnOutXL, Merkel's as conservative as W. If you're conservative, there's nothing wrong with that; but if you like Hillary, then liking a European conservative makes no sense. I'm also surprised by the "info" (above) saying "the left will try to play it [Chicago's loss] off like it's no problem". That's rich after the callous whoops from the right. But if you mean the left will ignore it because they don't care about U.S. losses anyway, that's scurrilous, and I resent that.
A defining moment for conservatives! As a bit left of center myself, although often for fiscal restraint, I'll no longer be so civil when a conservative questions my patriotism over -- for instance -- differences I have on certain uses of the military. The cheers at Americans for Prosperity for our losing the Olympics shows up conservatives who are ready to trash their country's interests for partisan gain. An iconic moment! I'll throw it up every time my patriotism is questioned.
Kudlow is so annoying. What is that noise he is making?

I'd like to have heard Larry Kudlow last night for Obama's fall from America's grace.

70 million dollars spent, and the faux messiah still can't deliver. EPIC FAIL!

Somehow the left will find some way to blame Chicago not getting it on Bush. I'm sooooooo sick of Obama! I can't wait to not vote for him again.
