POTUS,FLOTUS, and FLATUS epic fail. All the Big O’s couldn’t pull it off. Prepare to see the bulk of the stimulus cash Obama has been rat holing to pay for the Chicago Daley Enrichment program aka Olympics get spent now .
October 2, 2009 at 11:11 am
Hooray for your side. OMG – given the boot in the first round … a huge international slap in the kisser. I am beyond overjoyed for you magnificient, snarky, hard-working, devoted patriots … for every soul residing in Chicago … and for everyone in the World who recognizes The Won for what he is: An arrogant, sociopathic ZERO!
October 2, 2009 at 11:11 am
I heard the news and immediately thought of you guys!
Good work on Operation Stop Dr Utopia!
Drudge: “The Ego Has Landed!”
What are Valerie and Obi Won for a retirement fund now!
Congratulations guys! I know all of y’all worked really hard on this!
October 2, 2009 at 11:19 am
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to all of you out there who helped us here in Chicago stop this fiasco from happening. Our appreciation is enormous.
October 2, 2009 at 11:20 am
WOOOHOOOO! YES! Samba! Break out the caipirinhas baby! Party like the girl from Ipanema! Sing it like Bebel Gilberto!

Congratulations Hillbuzz I know you must be thrilled! I am thrilled! I came as soon as I heard. May this be the beginning of a long, long string of defeats for Dr. Utopia.
I thought they said ‘unicorns’ not ‘unions.’
October 2, 2009 at 11:44 am
If you hillbuzz boys don’t have a Brazilian theme party this weekend that I can live through vicariously, I admit I will be sort of disappointed. I’m sure I would get over it, but be wistful….
October 2, 2009 at 11:30 am
It’s only a game. You make it out like you won the election. calm down. brazil is just as corrupt
October 2, 2009 at 11:32 am
But at least the US taxpayer isn’t paying for Brazilian corruption.
October 2, 2009 at 11:41 am
exactly
October 2, 2009 at 11:35 am
Just as? I doubt that. The IOC members where joking that “corruption” would be a new Olympic sport if the games where held in Chicago.
Actually, the ‘boyz won big time. They get to keep their city, without taking on shitloads of debt that they/us would have been saddled with had Chicago won.
October 2, 2009 at 11:39 am
The immediate smackdown of Chicago is an election outcome. It sends a message: the world will not kowtow to the caucus-cheating fraud.
October 2, 2009 at 11:41 am
Like the American people, the world is not on board with Dr. Utopia’s plans.

Chicago’s swift elimination a political blow to Obama

I’m really looking forward to the opening ceremonies. The people of Rio really know how to throw a party! We’ll probably all need new TVs because the color function will have burnt out by the end of the opening number!
October 2, 2009 at 11:37 am
Thank you world! – So much for the tag team of Obama/Oprah!@!!!

Fox news reported it cost the US taxpayers over 10 million dollars for 2 planes and tons of security. That cash sure could have helped our schools.

And yet, this raging a-hole cut off pensions to a group of WWII veterans, seemingly to screw with Sarah Palin!

WHAT? This is beyond shameful. What a pathetic excuse for a Commander in Chief.
October 2, 2009 at 11:46 am
kow-tow to caucus-cheating fraud? you idiots really think this is an election
October 2, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Hahahaaha. C’mon now dave, we all know if it were an election he would have been able to cheat, lie and steal his way to the finish line. Smarten up buddy and learn about who this guy really is.

Great Headlines over at the Chicago Tribune web site.
“Olympic-sized loss of political face for Obama and Daley
Chicago’s first-round knockout in the voting for the 2016 Olympic Games presents a serious loss of face to President Barack Obama and Mayor Richard Daley, who each staked personal as well as political capital on the city’s bid.
AND
“Chicago aldermen, lawmakers ‘stunned’ by city’s quick Olympics loss
Chicago aldermen, who voted 49-0 last month in a show of support for the Olympic bid, said they’re “stunned” by today’s swift elimination of the city from the competition to host the 2016 Summer Games.
October 2, 2009 at 11:50 am
RIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 2, 2009 at 11:51 am
I’m sending my thank-you letter to the IOC immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone just said that Chicago got THE FEWEST VOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 2, 2009 at 12:35 pm
yea, that’s why they were eliminated, that’s how it works — duh!
October 2, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Unlike American Presidential Elections…..
October 2, 2009 at 11:58 am
The faithfull have demostrated that Obama is not God.
October 2, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Love it, you guys should be justly proud.
October 2, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Can we get to fixing the real problems here in Chicago now?
October 2, 2009 at 12:13 pm
First, we Samba! ;)
October 2, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Chicago’s dismal showing today, after Mr Obama’s personal, impassioned last-minute pitch, is a stunning humiliation for this President. It cannot be emphasised enough how this will feed the perception that on the world stage he looks good — but carries no heft.

You think the rest of the world sees Obama as just Bush JR the Third also?
October 2, 2009 at 3:50 pm
No…Carter 2.0 At least the world knew Bush wouldn’t screw around on foreign policy. Worthless domestically, but good on the oversees stuff.
Obama is Neville Chamberlain rolled up in Jimmy Carter, with a heavy does of naivete on the side.
Obama will start WWIII before he is done. He is truly that incompetent.
October 2, 2009 at 12:40 pm
And he can’t lift any heft, either (hope this prints):

October 2, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Not sure what roll your efforts played in the HUGE LOSS for The One… but thank you, thank you, thrice thank you!
October 2, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Now that the shock of the IOC picking Rio over Chicago has set in I realize this is a HUGE loss for the USA. Our prezidint just lowered our standing in the eyes of the world….AGAIN. Dr. Utopia has embarrassed the US everytime he opens his mouth and apologizes…now this EPIC FAIL! His and his wife’s arrogance does not play well on the world stage and will only make world opinion of the US sink further. He is making Bush look humble by comparision.
This is a very bad day for America. Our allies are all alienated, our enemies are all emboldened, and out prezidint doesn’t have the wisdom of all the presidents before him and swings for the fences at the IOC (IN PERSON!!!) and gets bitch slapped.
God help us all. We are at the mercy of this man and his criminal syndicate for 3 more years and then some!
October 2, 2009 at 4:24 pm
…and today from our friends at Hillary is 44 comes this gem:
That Big Boob – Barack Obama has been slapped across the face severely. After traveling across the ocean to beg before the International Olympic Committee he has been refused. This is an unprecedented, dramatic slap in the face from the international community. Obama has humiliated America.
World leaders think of Obama as a “Sucker”, now even the lowest of international bureaucrats know they have nothing to fear from the Big Boob. In pursuit of personal glory Obama has humiliated America. DrudgeReport captures the moment with the headline: The Ego Has Landed – World Rejects Obama – Chicago Out In First Round.
This international humiliation further weakens the Big Boob internationally and domestically.
Obama has been plucked.
