If the people and the media in Chicago made it sound like a slam dunk,... then that is their problem and an indication of their arrogance.

It really wasn't much of a story in the rest of the country until this week.

They probably also OVERESTIMATED the persuasive power of Barack Mugabe.

Chicago is a MASSIVE sewer of corruption. This country is better off not having an Olympics there.

Barack Mugabe was also really stupid for making the "sales pitch" trip to Europe without knowing beforehand whether it was in the bag. That was a very amateurish move.

Barack Mugabe has spent his presidency so far giving numerous speeches in foreign countries with the basic theme of those speeches being... "America sucks". Then he expected the international elite to bring the Olympics to his hometown to enrich all his cronies.

I guess these Olympic people must be a bunch of racists. They have to be.... they rejected the "Messiah". That's the standard line these days.

No.... the rest of the world does not hate us. Maybe they hate Chicago, but the world doesn't hate this country (only the leftist elite in the world hates the U.S.)

It hasn't been that long since this country had an Olympics. Brazil has never had one. That is probably a primary reason for the choice that was made.
