First round......
. I just watched an interview with Senator Burris (D-IL) who was at the rally in Chicago and he essentially blamed it on the Bush administration. What a tool this guy is.
Chicago was one of the front runners, but my opinion....Obama did more damage to Chicago's chances. The first round exit sent a message.....the IOC doesn't buy into the Hollywood hype of this President.

Good for the IOC. Chicago is a cesspool. There are much nicer cities in America that deserve the olympics. Chicago was a wasted effort.

Yeah, when I drive across the memphis bridge. I think I am driving across the bridge to hell. 
I would rather see the olympics down in Florida somewhere.

Well, we all know the IOC is a racist organization...
And, I guess Michelle's "sacrifice" wasn't enough?
What should the obama's expect, after all, he told the world many times what a disappointing and terrible country the USA was.
