Comedy gold: CNN anchor in utter disbelief as Chicago is eliminated
posted at 12:00 pm on October 2, 2009 by Allahpundit
I’ll keep updating the other thread but this one’s too much fun to bury there. An instant classic, courtesy of Greg Hengler.
Update: While you watch, a question from John Miller to meditate on. I fear we all know the answer, my friends.

Oabama will now cement every Jimmy Carter analogy by boycotting the 2016 Olympics.

The political clout that will be lost on this could have been avoided. but instead a history making trip had to be made by “The Won” to make a personal bid for Chicago.
Rookie mistake aligning himself so strongly to a crap shoot. Once again inexpierence and naivete show out.
Perhaps if he hadnt spent the last 8 months apologizing for us as a country and promising how we will do better the results might have been different.

Obama thought everyone got a gold medal regardless of how they placed, that’s why he went over there.

Now we know who has the whitey tape…

That is okay, Obama still has Kevin James, with his NAMBLA connection to Hays (an old commie wobblie radical) and Bill Ayers.

Chicago not getting the olypics. Couldn’t happen to a finer city. People of Chicago should be pleased, look at the tax money they will save.

This is a first round knock out, obviously not even a contest…but then, take a look at Rio, and see where you would like to be…

Napolitano: We suspect right-wing domestic terrorists were involved.
Obama: What? I wasn’t even aware they were deciding today.

Maybe the IOC decided that Michelle has already sacraficed enough.

It w/b hilarious if the IOC snookered the One into coming over, telling him he’s got it in the bag…and then turning on him for the world drama.
The One is just the one, limp, and always was…wake up America.

You know, Europeans don’t really hate the USA, they just can’t stand that pompous egotistical pile of sh*t of a ‘president’.

Brat4life on October 2, 2009 at 12:41 PM
Proving once again, it’s not about the city – it’s all about Obama.
Why should CNN, headquartered in Atlanta, give a crap about Chicago losing out on the Olympics?

Good thing Obama is uncomfortable with the word “victory”.

It’s hard out there for a pimp.
Heh.
BowHuntingTexas on October 2, 2009 at 12:44 PM
I doubt it. I think it was a no-go from the start. The IOC just wanted the prestige of slapping the president of the USA in front of the world. BO has shown the world how weak he is and the IOC wanted to show they could make him dance to their tune. In less then a year we have gone from the most powerful nation on earth to the laughing stock of the world. It will not get better.
RagTag on October 2, 2009 at 12:44 PM
I was grudgingly hoping for Chicago to get the games. My country is not Japan, Spain or Brazil, so why cheer for them?
When you cheer against your own country, something is wrong.

The audacity to assume that Chicago would be given the Olympics simply because Obama pimped it for the city is mind-boggling. Talk about the entitlement and hubris.
patriette on October 2, 2009 at 12:46 PM
This is pure enjoyment.
The IOC has probably saved the city of Chicago from bankruptcy.
drjohn on October 2, 2009 at 12:46 PM
This will save your country, and a lot of money and less thuggery and corruption. Relax, this is good.
Schadenfreude on October 2, 2009 at 12:46 PM
So let me see if I understand…
3 African Americans, one who is ranked as one of the richest people in the world, one who is the most powerful man in the world and one who is married to the most powerful man in the world and a top 1% income-earner herself… these 3 people make the “sacrifice” to fly in private jets and stay in the lap of luxury in order to pitch “why” the Olympics should be held in their hometown of Chicago… and all they can come up with is AN APOLOGY about how their country has strayed and just needs to be given a chance to show the world that we have repented of our sins?!?
“Over the last several years, sometimes that fundamental truth about the United States has been lost,” Obama said. “One of the legacies, I think, of this Olympic Games in Chicago would be a restoration of that understanding of what the United States is all about and the United States’ recognition of how we are linked to the world.”
Does this not appear to be the definition of insanity to anyone else but me?!?
The nerve! The hypocrisy! And yet another attack on America coming from the President… the treason!!
Chicago, with all of their corruption, doesn’t deserve the Olympics… but based on what she has done for the world and her own people… black, white and every other color of the rainbow… AMERICA deserves the Olympics any day of the week!!

TBenton on October 2, 2009 at 12:47 PM
Whew, now that the Olympic bidding process is over for Chicago, at least Obama can get back to the real work at hand: interfering with elections at the state level.

Neither Chicago nor Obama is “our own country”.
The former is a political wasteland overflowing with union thugs and murderers running in the streets. The latter is a president who ran around the world telling everyone how awful our country was.
We, the people, don’t cheers for thugs, murderers, traitors or liars.

Valerie Jarrett recently met with people from HUD.
You do realize they were probably going to pin this on the American taxpayer don’t you?
I live in Cook County and could not be happier. I noticed how Daley mentioned the CHICAGO taxpayers wouldn’t foot the bill. These chicago politicians are thick as thieves and I’m sure the rest of the America would be stuck footing the bills for these criminals.

Never an apology for selling his Senate seat. Crickets on the whole ACORN thing.
