Who the hell wants to go to Chicago? It's a toilet. The animals who live there are bent on bashing each other's brains out. And polls show people who live there are evenly split on Chicago even giving 3 shits about hosting the Olympics.

And you dumb shits thought the lily white European Olympic Committees would feel safe in that jungle? I am stunned anybody thought Chicago ever had any chance at all.

ABSURD!

i actually ment it towards the people who did want it and who went over the top about it saying its coz the olympic comittee dont like americans. u lost (not u personally)

besides swine flu is made up of american flu anyway. and also more americans have died than british have, mainly coz u r stuck onto mexico. so really ur takin the mick out of ppl who have died, when the convo was on sport

[jacksite2007]

ahh poor americans, i dont know why you are so upset about this and i know alot of you thought youd get this chance to host them, but unfortunitally for you, you dont own the world and so cant get your president to ask for it to happen ;). hope u watch ours in 2012 ;)

Chicago politicians learned a valuable lesson in civics yesterday:not all elections can be bought, stolen or rigged.Keep your fat black ass on Michigan ave., Oprah.Richie, your time as dictator is almost up.Obama, too bad ACORN couldn't rig this for you too.Chicago pols, no one outside of your city is impressed.You're not going to run amok over regular Chicagoans' neighborhoods and make yourselves rich in 2016.I am a very happy man today.Chicago is a vile,corrupt place and now everyone knows it.

Barack Meglomania thought he could persuade the world with only the "gift" of his presence. This was a major dose of reality to him but he is sooo full of himself that he will not see it for what is was. This joke of a man is making Jimmy Carter look like Lincoln by comparison...

just what they need is a NIGGER, with NIGGERS KILLING NIGGERS in CHICAGO... thats just what the world wants to visit. Chicago's Finest... Remember NEW ORLEANS and the WORLDS FAIR. WORLDS FAIR was CUT in HALF account of the NIGGERS ramped PICK POCKETING, RAPING, ROBBING Visitors and Spectators.

MOGILLA GORILLA and Curious George quite the contrast.

I'M sure Copenhagen REALLY wanted to be kissed by that MOOSE.

Daley is a crook! Chicago is so broke that Daley is threatening to lay off eleven hundred city workers in the next few weeks! He already laid off over seven hundred in December of 08! Chicago can't afford this mess!
