Feel free to add the “Obama Jumped the Shark” illustration created specifically for your post, h/t @OhioCoastie.

The people of Chicago should be thanking their lucky stars this whole deal failed. Otherwise this man and his wife with the chips on their shoulder the size of the Great Wall would forever feel Chicago owed THEM for the mess the Olympic games would have brought to their city.

Look at London for heaven’s sake. The costs are skyrocketing and entire sections of historical city are being destroyed. For what? A bunch of crappy stadiums, etc., that will go to rack and ruin within a couple of years after the games are over.

It can always be a CURSE, depending how the Winner behaves himself and how he got it in the firs place.

B.O. is a product of the Chicago Democrat Political Machine.

Daley is the power behind that Machine.

Obama used the Machine to get elected to the White House.

Daley therefore was ordering B.O. to come to Copenhagen and use his influence to win the bid for Chicago.

B.O. failed, and is now in a position to be issued some serious damage from the same Machine that won him the White House.

And that damage will be issued by none other that Daley, in retaliation for B.O.’s miserable failure here.

That is how things work in the political theater known as Chicago. You live by The Machine, you die by The Machine.

It just depends on who is controlling the switch at the time.

If he’s not non-threatening and has a personality like Al Sharpton, he scares the bejezzus out of the Guilty White Liberals and never comes close to beating Hillary. But you can’t fake that bland personality over a two-plus year campaign. That’s who Obama is, which means while he’s far to the left, he has no stomach for conflict where he doesn’t have everyone except conservatives/Republicans behind him. And that kind of personality gets rolled and made a fool of, whether it’s by Nancy Pelosi, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or the International Olympic Committee, because they know he’s not going to come back after them, as long as they don’t go on the Rush Limbaugh show or support Sarah Palin.

I’d actually feel sorry for the guy for being such a wimp on the world’s stage, except his ego hasn’t been beaten down enough yet to realize how embarrassing this is getting. And since the syncopatic big media is never, ever going to admit that truth I doubt Obama’s going to change until possibly when the 2012 poll numbers are staring him in the face (many of the same media folks still thought David Dinkins was wonderful as mayor of New York for the same reasons they think Obama’s wonderful, as the murder rate hit six a day, disasters like Crown Heights happened and even liberal New Yorkers turned to Rudy Giuliani to save the city).
