--Chicago loses out on the 2016 Olympics to Rio de Janeiro, and criticism about President Obama having traveled to Copenhagen to lobby for his home city increases.
--We review the 2002 Olympic scandal involving bribes, Mitt Romney, Mormons, and more.
--Conservatives and Republicans have been happy about not getting the 2016 Olympics, even cheering at a conservative conference about it, even though the Olympics were traditionally thought of as a ptriotc event. We discuss the cause of this shift.
--Bill Kristol suggests the US does not need the Olympics, but what about that economy problem?

Governor Mitt Romney is a RINO. (see my about me). His Health care overhaul pales in comparison to the atrocity of Obamacare, but it was similar. He has never expressed public regret for this. He told Michigan residents at an event there that the financial services bailout was absolutely necessary. He stated you said that the Republican Party needs to pass "immigration reform" (amnesty) for new voters. He’d vote for Obama! watch?v=jPGnJmbDq08
