WTF is Obama doing trying to sell the IOC on the US?

That should be the Mayor of Chicago pitching the sale.

Obama wants to line the pockets of his thug union buddies with the Olympics so they can gouge foreigners and Americans alike.

He's got time to go on The David Letterman Show and pitch the Olympics, but no time to meet with his top General in Afghanistan.

That's what happens when you send a boy to do a Mans job.

Obama has no pull with the IOC

They'll tell him to go pound sand.

Just because his majesty declares the United States to be out of recession doesn't make it in any way true you dipfuck.

Then I guess you have completely ignored the stock market turn around. And it wasn't Obama that said we were out of the recession, it was Ben Bernanke, the Fed chairman. I suppose you choose to believe Glenn Beck instead?

Frankly I think the Summer Olympics are mind-numbingly boring anyway.

A city setting up to host an Olympics has always been a fiscal loss for the community. The revenue that is brought in during "The Games" doesn't even come close to settling the bill. Of course, in the years after the games, some of the facilities set up could be utilized for other events....providing you have some kind of attraction that will draw in people. In some cases, the structures and facilities wind up getting shuttered because people seldom use them. Those who are in favor of bringing the Olympics to their city gush on and on about the jobs and revitalization. Problem is, the jobs go away when the games do and if a stadium or sports facility doesn't draw in people, where's the revitalization in that?

There are plenty of stories out on the web about the true cost to a city when hosting the Olympics. Here's a couple I just found....

http://money.cnn.com/2005/07/05/news/international/olympics/index.htm

Mayor Daley of Chicago is really pushing for his city to win the bid. He's even told the citizens that they won't have to pay the bill for the revitalization in getting prepared for the games. Who is he kidding? The people of Chicago have already forked over quiet a sum for sports facilities. And now the mayor tells them not to worry. Yeah right.

Brasil can use any and all revitalization and I'm sure between World Cup 2014 and hopefully Olympics 2016, it would show..

And you're a worthless piece of inbred American shit. There is one war "raging" in Afghanistan which was started by your good buddy Bush which continues to need more troops even after Obama boosted the troop levels. Iraq, which was also started by your butt buddy Bush, is no longer "raging" and is under control and almost completely in the hands of Iraqis now.

Obama has spoke out very harshly against both North Korea and Iran and instead of starting World War III has decided to use diplomacy. If your ignorant ass actually paid attention to the news you would know that the worthless missile shield that Bush was going to point towards the Russians has been scrapped which has in turn caused the Russians to scrap their shield and also come over to our side in support of tough sanctions against Iran. What the fuck is Obama supposed to do, send a million troops to take out WMD's in Iran? Are you that fucking stupid? As far as I am concerned, any military action against Iran is Israel's problem. We have held their hands for to long and they are more than capable of crippling Iran's nuclear program on their own. Even if military action is taken against Iran it can only set back their nuclear program a few years. Diplomacy is the only answer.

Again, if you paid attention to the news, you would also know that while unemployment is still high, we are out of the recession. While Bush was still in office the economy tanked to it's lowest point. Since Obama has been in office, the stock market has recovered and the economy is starting to grow. The housing market has started turning around as well and the job market, which is usually the last to turn around, will inevitably begin to recover as well. You assholes bitched and moaned and negatively called Obama the "Messiah" yet you fascist dickbags are the ones who have been critical of him not fixing everything in his 9 months in office. Fucking hypocrites.

On top of all that, he has signed legislation to close the human right violating dungeon known as Guantanamo Bay. And has started a debate on health care which at the very least will result in much needed reforms to the abomination that we call American Health Care.

So why don't you take one of your precious huntin' rifles, stick it up your ass and pull the trigger because you are a worthless, uneducated, appalacian mountain, inbred, Nascar loving piece of cow shit. Fuck you.

this fucking idiot must be h0lmes undercover. hes from the PNW

You cannot be serious.

woot another political thread

[LBJefferies]

Obama is a worthless piece of Kenyan shit. There are two fucking wars raging, two sawed-off runts rattling sabres and shooting off missiles, and record unemployment. I hope the IOC sticks his precious Chicago bid up his long-legged pimp daddy ass and snap it off as they award the games to Rio. Fuck his horseass faced wife too.
