WMAQ-TV: Obama will leave for Denmark Thursday night, hours after his wife Michelle departs for the vote. The president made the final decision Saturday night after returning from the G20 summit in Pittsburgh.
Does this Obama actually think he’s still going to be around as president come 2016 and get to host these game in his hometown? I think not. He will be booted out of office come 2012. Go Brazil…

With all of the real and supposed emergency business of the United States this crooked lens crazy jerk must go pitch for the Chicago Olympics for his Chicago Way buddies and a good buck for himself post White House. Nothing like planning ahead for oneself. What great priorities and purpose.

So MSNBC can promote Obama pushing for the 2016 Olympics to come to Chicago, while FOX is told to with hold any news rallying against the 2016 Olympics coming to Chicago! There’s something fishy going on!!!
Besides, does Obama actually think that he will be around as President in 2016 to host these games? I think NOT! He will booted out of office come 2012. Why? Because so far he’s shown to be one lousy president, who’s lost in La-La-Land…

So, while “Rome” burns, “Nero” is fiddling around jetting off to talk the IOC into picking HIS hometown, Chicago, for the 2016 Olympics. Since when do Presidents do a local town’s business for them? Oh yeah. Since the Big “O” came to Washington!
WoodySeptember 28th, 2009 - 10:05 am
Obama will leave for Copenhagen on short notice, but he doesn’t have time to visit his hand-picked commander in Afghanistan when the country is about to devolve into chaos? Well, maybe it’s for the best; if Obama DID visit Afghanistan, he’d probably go apologize to the Taliban for American “imperialism” (i.e. defending our right to exist).

We have a fricken war going on that we are losing, troops being killed and maimed and this idiot is going to copenhagen to party! the damn olympics and where they are being held is NOT the responsibility of the obama administration!!!

Go ahead leftist greenies, tell us how the joke of a “carbon footprint” means nothing in this case because his appearance is “just too important” to pass up. Savage was 100% correct about liberalism.

It’s obvious that POTUS waited until now to confront Iran, delayed decision on Afghanistan, gave controversial speeches at U.N., imigration AMNESTY, racial speech at the CBC, and many other distractions…. to slide toxic policy in under the radar, or at least with less resistance.

President Obama has more important things to do than rally for the Chicago machine, like doing the job he was elected to do. Our troops in Afghanistan need more support (how about some attention to these brave men and women Mr. President?) and we have Iranians shooting off missles. I pray everyday that someone in Congress will have the courage to stand up to this president.

Barack Obama Orders Pensions Cut Off To WWII Veterans
Could it possibly be that the IOC has already decided where the Olympics are to be held and PBO has the inside track on the decision? Thus, he goes over there and takes his beloved spotlight to announce he helped bring the Olympics to Chicago. More Dope and Strange.

Chicago is not filth, but our politicians are. As far as deserving it, I have no clue what you are talking about and apparently neither do you. Fact is that aside from some construction business initially, Chicago is expected to lose money on this deal and the taxpayers will pick up the tab. The Olympics is typically not a money making venture (even though it would seem it would be) and that’s why they made such a big deal about the financial backing the olympics would have in Chicago. Mayor Daley just wants another feather in his cap.

Obama, as president of the USA, is going over to make a bid for the Olympics to be in his hometown Chicago . . . and has already stated that Michelle with be the head of planning. He is using his job to get his wife a job — isn’t this an example of the gross self serving practices that the liberals so often sneer at?

We need to figure out a way to keep him over there. Maybe we could move Washington and then when he gets back, not tell him where it is. All joking aside, Obama is arrogant and flippant which when you find those characteristics in a moron are all ways dangerous.

However it would be just classic to have President Palin or Wilson attended the olympics in Chicago as obama sits in the stands like Jimmy Carter. As his own press office said he would be a one term president.

0bama PROMISED last fall during his never ending (and still continuing) campaign that “the war in Afghanistan will be a top priority” for him…
Yeah, right!
This freakin’ loser is so full-of-cr@p that legless, soft-bodied, wormlike larva- maggots, if you will- feed off his fecal brain matter just to complete their life cycle.
I guess strong-arming the nearly-as-corrupt IOC is naturally a lot more fun than keeping American Soldiers, Sailors and Marines safe!
To H3LL with the 2016 Games! Doesn’t he know we Americans are trying to survive and thrive through 2010, 2011 and 2012?
Then we can THROW THIS FREAKIN’ PIECE-OF-CR@P “0BAMA-BUM” OUT!
Just two days ago at the G-20 post-game news conference, 0bama said “I’m not interested in victory” regarding athletic events. Of course when he said that, he was referring to America’s upcoming ‘football’ play-off game against the Tehran Titan Missiles and their crazy quarterback Kook Nuke’em…though I personally think that’s a game that should be circled as a ‘must-win’ for US (and the rest of us).
But 0bama DID say “I’m not interested in victory”…so we KNOW he’s not referring to The Olympic Games ’cause everyone knows they’re a political event, not an athletic one. Which is why The0bamaCampaign continues! And 0bama’s upcoming schedule certainly IS light…let’s take a look:
1. Decide on an already-delayed troop request from YOUR OWN guy in Afghanistan? Nooo…
2. Fix the 0bamaDeathCare Bill? Nooo…
3. Help Middle East whirled piece? Nooo…
4. Lower the Zzzillion Dollar Debt? Nooo…
5. Pass the Cap-and-Tax-Hoax-of-a-Bill? Not yet…
6. Pass the Immigration-Amnesty-4-All Bill? Not yet…
7. Investigate that “A.C.ommunuity.O.rganizer.R.N.E.A.” thang? Certainly not…
8. Make a gameplan designed for ‘victory’ in America’s critical-mass-of-an-upcoming-game against TheNuclearIran? Hell nooo…
9. Do more sightseeing? Well, Copenhagen IS beautiful in the fall…let’s go!
So in just three days, 0bama’s next whistle-stop will be the ‘frozen tundra’ of Copenhagen! Ahhh…campaigning in the fall…brings back memories…OF FU**ING BROKEN PROMISES AND PROMISES FU**ING BROKEN!!!
HEY 0BAMA: 1ST, GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT! 2ND

A NIGHTMARE WAITING TO HAPPEN...September 28th, 2009 - 3:29 pm
This “Chicago Olympics” sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. Not only will it drain what few resources Illinois has left, but it will UNDOUBTEDLY result in crime and violence the likes the Olympics has never seen. (Why would ANYBODY ever want to go to Chicago, with all its lowlifes, crime and pestilence??)
We were “passing through” Chicago a decade or so ago and could not find a PUBLIC TOILET anywhere!!! We had to go to the Museum of Science & Industry and park in their lot, just to go up and find a toilet.
Chicago is not CIVILIZED enough to sponsor the Olympics, whether Mr. O. and “Our Pal Val” agree or not. Send the Olympics somewhere else, and give Illinoisans a BREAK from the relentless crime, violence, greed, graft & corruption.
P.S. Hope the U.S. taxpayers are not paying for the BIG O’s visit to Denmark to promote the Chicago Olympics! WHY should we pay for this??
“President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will travel to Denmark to support Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics. [26] Michael Jordan has become an unofficial spokesman for Chicago’s bid.[27] Chicago media mogul Oprah Winfrey and Olympic champion Michael Phelps have been widely promoting the bid since the 2008 Summer Olympics.” [Source: wikipedia.org]

Reduce your carbon emission rules are just for normal hard working people. Political celebrities are above the rest of us. Their CO2 is released for a good reason.
(Well at least Obama is doing something that hes ALMOST qualified for, being Chicago’s celebrity Olympic ambassador. How badly can he screw it up? They better not say no, unless every one in the Olympic committee is a racist, which they are, because they are white, even the black ones.)
The Olympics are probably the least constructive thing that the human race does besides kill each other. Does anyone still watch the “games”. You can tell that a project has become unproductive when it needs government funding. If it was productive it would attract all the voluntary money it needs from the private sector. Instead the Olympics needs to steel some money from hard working Chicagoans, if their are any left.

SHOULD WE BE SURPRISED? THEY WANT HUD TO FOOT THE COST OF OLYMPIC VILLAGE!September 30th, 2009 - 4:16 am
From Michelle Malkin’s site…
“Chicago and the Obama administration are exploring ways the
federal government can bolster the city´s bid for the 2016 Olympic
Games with financial support for the $1-billion Olympic Village.
Crain´s has learned that senior presidential adviser Valerie
Jarrett and Lori Healey, president of the Chicago 2016 committee, met
this month with top officials of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development to discuss financing options for the village, the single
biggest project – and question mark – in the city´s bid.
The main hurdle facing Chicago is coming up with a long-range
plan for an Olympic Village that is commercially viable while meeting
objectives of existing HUD programs that could be tapped for funds,
such as low-income housing tax credits and grants or loan guarantees
for community development, affordable housing or housing for seniors.
“I think it´s premature to talk about what the funding might be,”
says Ms. Jarrett, a former co-chair of Chicago 2016 and city planning
commissioner who now heads White House efforts to help Chicago´s bid.
“A proposal has not been made to the federal government, but the
administration is not closing the door” on anything, she adds. The
administation “obviously (is) willing to meet and listen.”"
—
“In one of those endless Chicago coincidences, Grove Parc Plaza
Apartments [i.e., Jarrett's slummy apts] now targeted for demolition as a
result of years of neglect by Obama´s developer friends sits in the
shadows of the proposed site of the city´s 2016 Olympics Stadium.
Valerie Jarrett is vice chair of Chicago´s Olympics committee.”
Does this Obama actually think he’s still going to be around as president come 2016 and get to host these game in his hometown? I think not. He will be booted out of office come 2012. Go Brazil…
