They got beaches with signs that say……………..Swimwear is optional. Nuff Said.
This Old Seadog would much rather visit a place like that, any day over Chicago.

So the Obama illusions of grandeur and invisibility are gone; all lost with the Chicago bid for the 2016 Olympics. And now we see that in addition to the Obama’s exhibition of openly brazen deceptions, Obama is very much capable and qualified to exhibit his feebleness and lack of maturity. At this point, Obama is a very spent man, no longer qualified to influence anyone.

But who would have guessed that what many cautioned about Obama BEFORE his election would come to pass so quickly. Prior to November 2008 we said he was a suit, inexperienced and afro-centric, extreme and radical, socialist and far, far-left in all his criticisms of the country from which he garnered the privileges he so aptly criticized.

And now, very much despite the MSM apologists’ remarks, Obama, with his loss in Denmark, has fallen lower that one could have imaged; and not just in the U.S., but also abroad — where lately even the French have justly remarked that Obama is in fact very, very naive.

One of my friends suggested they would have had a better shot sending Blago with a bag full of cash.

Maybe the IOC were racist, neo-nazi, uneducated, teabagging people. I agree with the comment above. We, as taxpayers are already in debt. We were lucky they chose Rio. The U.S.A. is broke, and needs to stop corruption, not add to it.

The whole country dodged the bullet. We would have ended up paying for this boondoggle #500,4376 cooked up by Daley, Obamas et al. This was a case of a crooked and corrupt Chicago meets a crooked and corrupt IOC. IOC decided the odds of getting more money for themselves lay with Rio rather than Chicago. The corruption is so big in
Chicago there is no more room for corruption on the IOC’s part.
