Chicago got shot down!!

[mmb]

Obama was a Lakeside Liberal... they don't get along all that well with the political machine in Chicago...

Either way, he wasn't involved in politics long enough to get too much of that baggage.

 

[olllllo]

Without a doubt, the IOC was listening when nearly 3 million tea baggers voiced their displeasure at village meetings through out Denmark.

the only ones that would have benefited would be obamas liberal croneys labor union bosses, politicians, the mayor, acorn.ect. therest of the city would have gotten trashed by this...

And if the Olympics were won under the previous administration the talk would have all been about the boon for the tourist industry and trickle down economics. We've heard the same old poo from both sides long enough.

When you're dealing with that kind of narrow-minded mentality, you're talking to a wall. A lib is a lib is a lib, as far as they're concerned.

That was why I didn't bother to respond when I first read his post...just another knucklehead trying to make a political slam over something he knows nothing about.



I've REALLY got to find a yawn emoticon !

Maybe they were creeped out that Michelle Obama was sitting on her daddy's lap watching the Olympics when she was 20 years old.....LOL

Rio better get on the ball, b/c their infrastructure is still very third-world. For example, their sewage system cannot handle toilet paper. Oh they have flush toilets, but you are told when you check in at your 5-star hotel not to flush toilet paper down the toilet for this very reason. What do you do with it then? Toss it in the trash and let the housekeeping people pick it up in the morning. Try not to think about the smell in your hotel room.

Where I live, the electricity is still supplied by overhead cables on poles instead of underground. The power goes out during every thunderstorm. The rainwater from the rooftops is dumped directly onto the ground instead of into the public drainage system. Cable TV shares the same overhead lines as the electricity and telephone lines. The water is over chlorinated because the filtration system can't handle the amount of duck poo in the reservoir. When it comes to infrastructure, this is the most third world place have ever lived. That includes (Very) rural France and South Africa.

I like it a lot here, but i don't live under any of the illusions that are sold to me by the loud voices. America needs a LOT of repair work. I love America, but honestly, she needs a major face lift if we are not going to be compared to third world countries down the line.
