CNN: I Guess Hopenchange Didn't Sell To The Olympic Committee

[MooseOfReason]

Hope & change in Copenhagen. Hahahaha.

[focus21x]

Is stupid Ed Henry still on the screen? Hang him on a billboard in Misouri.

[AlmightyJerk]

Maybe they thought beating up kids and old ladys at the G20 sucked?

[illxplicit07]

and thats probably an understatement...

[cons4liberty]

It's not that Hope and Change didn't sell, its those stupid IOC people are racist! They did oppose Obama didn't they, according to the mainstream media and liberal talking heads, they are now racist. Wow, the world is just full of racist!

[usagirlfriend]

To cons4liberty

LOLOLOL

Clout? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[veriteez]

Isn't it weird when you change the letters around : COPENHAGEN and HOPECHANGE, it almost transfers equally?

[PatricksTime]

obama fails again and again and again and again....this never gets old.

obama must be embarrassed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vilevikings]

Hey Obama... hows that "respect from around the world" treating you?

What a Chump.

[charityGSHS]

Obama epic failure

[carcabe]

Michelle Obama lied the whole time in her Olympics pitch. Big surprise, huh? She refers at one point to the time that she watched, from her fathers lap as Carl Lewis broke all of the records. Carl Lewis is only 3 years older than Michelle Obama, and his career took off around 1981. I assume that she was referring to the 1984 Olympics. This would have made Michelle a twenty-year-old college student, sitting in her fathers lap and dreaming of becoming an Olympic athlete. Late start, huh?

[shamansays]

I think its funny , everyone commenting on here still thinks that there is a difference between republicans and democrats, or libertarians. Idiots, stop and look around, while everyone is arguing with one another, the government is fu$%ing us over again and everyone seems to like it.

[Boomer1949]

this has nothing to do with Chicago or Obama. It has to do with the US being responsible for the World Economic Melt Down, invading Iraq and all the other atrocities perpetrated in the last 8 years.

What countries are represented on the committee? That should give anyone a clear picture of the vote.

[mjnr7777]

But Obama was supposed to save us from all that......the world leaders were to welcome us with open arms? He was to lead our nation out of the darkness.....HOPE & CHANGE?

Guess that paln got all fucked up?

[Boomer1949]

Only you radicals on the right were thinking that, because that's what your leaders (Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity) were telling you.

The Majority of America knew that bringing back the country from the brink wasn't going to be easy or fast. Restoring our standing in the world would also take time and cooperation from those who had destroyed it. That hasn't happened. The Banksters are still at it and so is Wall St....countries are pissed.

[mjnr7777]

Thank you for "EXACTLY" pointing out what I was sarcastically saying........we needed no restoring, because WE ARE THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD.....right or wrong!

Who else will the world look up to...Egypt, Chile, Japan? No dumbass....they look to us. From famine to tsunamis, we are the first ones in with relief. We are the standard bearer fro Democracy!

And you question Conservative values....look in the mirror!

[Boomer1949]

I'm sorry to break this to you but we no longer have that standing in the world. That "looking up to America" was tarnished when no WMD's were found in Iraq, then the torture of prisoners and then one thing after another for 8 yrs, to the last big one...our Banksters and Wall St. screwing the world with their bogas CDO's.

Tell me, what one person can change all of that in 10 mos...I'd like to meet them.

[zakattak80]

no one expects it all to be fix, we didnt expect him to make it worst.

[Boomer1949]

worst that what?  No stimulus bill? How many companies would be out of business? How many states completely broke? How many people without unemployment insurance? How many more jobs losses would there have been? Roads not repaired, bridges falling down?

The bank bailout was on Bush's watch

The Stimulus Obama

The Cash for Clunkers Obama

The Bailout of GM Obama

None of that has worked because of the banks not lending money and everyone in the US stop spending money.

[zakattak80]

wasn't obama the one that said that if we pass the stimulus, unemployment wouldn't pass 8%. you question "how many companies would be out of business" makes no since. the were worried about them filling bankruptcy.

also it was careless lending by the banks that cause the housing bubble and the fed is still trying to keep interest rates Artificially low, and now there monetizing dept.

[Boomer1949]

"careless lending" Your looking at just the US, broaden your views and find out about CDO's and derivatives. It's a World Crisis, not just a US crisis.

Without seed money to keep the doors open to employ people, who in turn spend money, business go out of business. The banks stopped lines of credit. The stimulus didn't work because the banks didn't lend, even after the stimulus.

[zakattak80]

i know this is a global issue, mexico is likely to collapse, great Britain is to. you still have to pay attention to stuff like the value of the dollar, and the foreign stock markets, which are improving better then nyse. this isn't to say the economy is getting better.

your still complaining that the banks arn't lending enough? why would you want to do the thing that got you in this situation .

[Boomer1949]

I'm complaining because our economy is based primarily on everyone spending money and we don't have jack shit to replace it. We gave away our manufacturing jobs, service jobs, and craft jobs to other countries. If business can't run a line of credit with the bank, they have to shut their doors, more jobs lost, less spending, more and more down the rabbit hole we go.

[zakattak80]

i agree, america is a consumer market by far, but honestly how long could this last. since america is the largest consumer country in the world. we honestly need to bring back manufacturing jobs. the best way to do this is by freeing up the market and be business friendly cause right now america is just running business out.

[Boomer1949]

It's not the restrictions on industry America has implemented, it's about cheep labor and the bottom line..profit margins.

The largest cost to a manufacturing business is labor. The only way to bring back the manufacturing to the US is to drive down wages to be in par with China and India, or they raise their standards to ours. Think that's going to happen in those countries?

[mjnr7777]

Thank Bill Clinton for that......NAFTA. And of course, 1.6 gallons per flush.

[Boomer1949]

Yes Clinton did sign NAFTA but who made all the other trade agreements with Pakistan, India, China and Canada? Who signed those..I'm asking I don't know..I could Google it I guess but does it matter? It's a done deal and there is no way we will ever get that base back. This country has to come up with another economic base and it can't be consumer spending. We have to be more protective of our inventions and innovations.

[mjnr7777]

Wow....we agree to agree. See, that wasn't hard?

[mjnr7777]

Talk about hating your country.....you are all over it. Maybe you and people like you are the problem?

[Boomer1949]

Just because I don't have on some shinny new rose colored glasses, doesn't mean I hate my country. I do hate the greedy bastards that put us in this mess, who happen to be US citizens.

[michiganbball]

Obamabots should put down the Kool-Aid and give it up. This guy is a graduate of the University of ACORN. The IOC saw it and said "not NO, but HELL NO!"

[superc]

Bush had more "Czars" than Obama. FACT.

Oh and BTW this clip is from Michelle Malkin - who is a an anchor baby, who is against anchor babies. FACT.

NeoConservatism = Hypocrisy at its best.

[Trenaway]

Just like a stupid libtard to pull numbers out of the air, in the land of fairy tales. Libtards the liars of this country, just like your god Obama.

Fact-the KKK was started by libtards that think just like you do. You can add racist bastard to that list, for libtards.

[mjnr7777]

Hey dipstick......WHO CARES! Your "Dear Leader" got smacked down.....and draggin' Bush into it, although straight out of the Lib playbook, doesn't matter.

[TerryEFV2]

you wouldn't happen to be a russian figure skater would you?

probably not, just a faithful follower of the infamous party of NO!

we see through you to a better day and we said it with our votes.

Quotation-

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

[TerryEFV2]

mjnr,

do you remember what Forest's mama had to do to get him braces for his legs?

i sure hope we get health care under a president who is representing the people who voted for him!

[mjnr7777]

I remember.........we are all gonna get fucked!

By the healthcare train has left.....kinda like Obama's approval ratings.

[TerryEFV2]

mjnr, so you just continue playing the game the way you've always played. the rote that's been supplied.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Albert Einstein

[JimboVids]

"Hope and Change" is bullshit that idiot liberals here in America bought....but the rest of us in the real world know that Obama is just a bullshitting wannabe-celebrity.

[Joem734]

It appeared that Tokyo and Madrid had zero chance and everyone knew it.

Losing it is one thing, losing before two cities that had no chance...that's rough.

[charityGSHS]

The fact that Chicago has one of the highest crime rate in America probably played a factor in theoutcome. Home of the gangster president is not pretty.

[JUDALATION]

Um... dumbass, the murder per capita in Brazil ( deaths per every 100,000) is twice...TWICE of that in Chicago, with 40 deaths per week in Rio...STFU!

[michiganbball]

JUDALATION, you might want to read this report from Oct. 25, 2008, Huffington Post, where Chicago took over the #1 spot as Murder Capital of America from LA: Chicago is the Second City in nickname and the third in population, but when it comes to murder, the city has the dubious distinction of being second to no city in America. The Chicago Sun-Times pointed out on Friday that Chicago has seen 426 homicides this year through Tuesday, compared with 417 in New York and 302 in Los Angeles.

[JUDALATION]

Wow I guess you cannot count can you? if RIO HAS 40 DEATH PER WEEK, THAT MEANS THAT MORE PEOPLE DIE IN THREE MONTHS IN RIO THAN IN A WHOLE YEAR IN CHICAGO!!!!!! Hence if chicago was crossed of because of crime... THAN WHY DID THEY CHOOSE RIO?? STUPID.

[TuxLady]

Ok, so at the risk of sounding racist, Obama gets what he deserves for being the "house boy" lackey of Daly.

[dencal26]

Chicago lost because of the teen gang murder video last week and there was nothing Obama could do to change that. He has less clout than he thinks.,

[AtlasObjectivist]

Absolutely a fair question, that can be answered with yet another other questions - WHERE DID'NT THEY GO WRONG? BETTER YET - HAVE THEY EVER DONE ANYTHING CORRECT? IN FACT - HAS THE MAN EVER DONE ANYTHING PERIOD?

[TerryEFV2]

atlas,

again from the cheap seats we hear the voices of the party of NO shoting loudly...

NO!

we see through you to a better day!

[mjnr7777]

I believe the world just told him "NO" too......but you put any spin you want on it.

[TerryEFV2]

mjnr,

the "spin" you reference would be the gracious acceptance of a democratic vote after a well fought battle.

as opposed to the squeals of no, no, no ad nauseum! from the loser!

sorta like what the olympics historically set out to teach.

some refer to it as sportsmanship.

[mjnr7777]

So you throw out insults when it suits you, and then lecture to get your point across. You are a special kind of Libtard....nice.

[TerryEFV2]

mjnr,

what insults?

graciousness?

sportsmanship?

I concede, and see that the street runs two ways, my reference to squealing was un-gracious.

My apologies.

Terry

i apologize

[mjnr7777]

Now you sound like Obama.....stop it already.

[TerryEFV2]

thank you

[AtlasObjectivist]

Hey Terry - Sorry I'n not going sit idly by and let this radical turn the U.S. into a socialist nanny state just to be called a good sport by people like you.

[illxplicit07]

The US a socialist nanny state? If only we had those types of problems... The people of this country have no control over corporate lobbying.. The people are tired of this polyarchy in which the top 1% essentially rule this nation. The US is the only industrialized nation in the world that does not provide universal health care to all of its citizens. Socialism you say? I call this equity.

[AtlasObjectivist]

Let me tell you illxp - the socialist nanny state is the problem and universal ObamaCare sucks and is part of that problem.

More to the point, why don't you tell us - how is the weather on planet Loon today?

[illxplicit07]

"how is the weather on planet Loon today?"

I believe we call this ad hominem: attack the man instead of the argument. Because you clearly don't have one.

"ObamaCare sucks" sounds like a bumper sticker slogan. It is intellectually weak.

[harneyjt]

FAILBAMA

[usagirlfriend]

"MAYBE there are limits." ...... ROFLMAO...

You people have got to stop drinking the Obama-aid.

This King is NAKED!! Take the blinders off.

[Winterfairy777]

i am sooo happy that those 3 went there and got a ass kick. lol less votes lmao

[BrownLabs]

A million laughs today after hearing this news.

[Winterfairy777]

[rebelstang]

HELL YEA! It's a Great & Happy Day!

osamabama & friends,

Can't wait for 2010/2012! GET 'im OUT!

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!

LONG LIVE THE REBELLION!

[Winterfairy777]

100% agree

[usagirlfriend]

The president talked a lot about..... HIMSELF.....

Unlike CNN, not everyone is in awe of Obama.

Guess the IOC doesn't give a crap about "hope and change"

It's BUSH'S fault. ...or the IOC is racist.

Can't wait to hear what the Kool-aid drinkers of CNN come up with.

OBAMA, our troops are dying in record number over in Afghanistan, because of YOUR ineptitude. BRING THEM HOME.. or give them what they need and deserve. DO YOUR JOB.

[rebelstang]

Exactly! osamabama's to buisy,

campainning, for his next job.

As with all is other past jobs.

he's voting Present Again!

[usagirlfriend]

LOLOL...Keep drinking the Kool-aid

[YoungTurkMorons]

Maybe the IOC just sees obama as a piece of shit

[thefloacist]

The Olympics was never going to be held in any American city period, not in this post 2001 security risks in mind.

lol @ you making it personal/about Obama.

[Winterfairy777]

shit! what would u think if thoae 3 would knock on your door?! yuck

Draw the consequences--their healthcare bill is dead.

[focus21x]

By the way, did they ever mention healthcare in their dirty propaganda in Denmark, the number one benefit of the olympics/sport--the health of the undrnourished world population? NOOOO way, they had no health in mind at all. What did they serve in their super/superexpensive lunch? It certainly was not vegan, healthy at all.

[focus21x]

Yes, the Chicago slums, where all the government money goes to corrupt landladies.

[bvonmoss]

Maybe this was thought to solve the housing problem at least in the Chicago area.

[focus21x]

"maybe some things would change" when he gets elected? Mr. you better watch your words. Don't pander propaganda. His "change" has been a Marxist revolution, total destruction of the American economy. I bet you would lose your own house, not because of your unwise mortgage, but because it will all belong to the state--no private property at all.

[starVol]

God, is this CNN reporter real? Everyone or many people in this country have known for sometime that this Obama guy is nothing but a slick media image. It worked in 2008 because of that slick media image along with the fact that people were upset with Bush's Iraqi war. CNN is just now coming around to this fact that not everyone, including people from around the world just are not enamored with this Obama guy like Chris (tingly leg) Matthews is enamored with him?

[focus21x]

Chicago? I can't spell it any more, for a fundametal inhibition/dislike of its corrupt politics, Obamacity.

[thefloacist]

Obamacity?

You guys' paranoia about Barack Obama is funny.

[focus21x]

The "final speaker"? I "hope and change" that it is his final speech. Let's impeach him for squandering 2.5 million dollars of taxpayers money purely for port/the rotten meat of C, no ciago/no go corrupton.

[SkylineTime]

Obama = FAIL

[focus21x]

America's image to the world? I was ashamed to be an American when I watched the first lady/non-lady descending/ascending from her limousine to lobby the stupid Danes, with a corrupt Chicago slum landlord/lady/non-lady not far behind.

[welovesarahpalin]

"Is it fair to ask the question, 'Where did they go wrong?' "

Are you sure that isn't RACIST to ask such a question?!? LOL

[focus21x]

Do you have any idea of what "nuts and bolts" are, you, spoiled socialist college graduate (no doubt)? Wake up to reality, try and watch Fox news.

[focus21x]

Sorry, mister, the first lady is not a lady. Impeach the whole gang of Chiacago corruption.
