Chicago Drops From ‘Second City’ to Fourth City
by PubliusSo, not only did Chicago lose out in its bid for the Olympics, it lost in the FIRST ROUND. It is kind of like the world community saying to President Obama, “Not only no, but Hell No.”

Breaking story here. Consider this an open thread.

No-Bama strikes out again. Everything he touches fails !
Ha ha ha!!
Egg-on-the-face must be in this year in DC. Michelle must have acted stupidly.
I thought he was going to be the world's president? I guess you can't fool all of the people all of the time! I suppose the IOC did not like the idea of tourists being robbed and beaten. I can't say I blame them. In any event, this story really brightened my day.
I'm speechless…look out for that "Untouchables" moment where Barack Obama is Robert DeNiro's Capone with the base ball bat…I wonder what poor schmoe is gonna be accused of hurting the "team"…
Dirty daley was the turnoff.
We just aren't that into you Obama!!!
It looks like all of poor Michelle's sacrifices weren't quite enough. Poor thing.
I wonder if Michelle Obama is proud of her country for the first time now?
I bet Valerie Jarrett is a tad angry.
Was Buffy Wicks on the trip?
The IOC probably rejected Chicago because Obama is black
The inevitable question will become: did the obamas -cause- the problem leading to being voted out in the first round?
I'm not at all surprised.
The IOC is a bunch of racists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA
Big Bertha was distracted from organizing the community.
Maybe the IOC has Fox watched Glenn Beck and saw the recent show about the Chicago connections with BHO, Jarret etc and how they would benefit
!
The fewest votes of any city. That is a profound repudiation.
They IOC are Racist. They are trying to keep the man down just like all of you whities on this board. Sorry I could not resist and yes that was a joke.
Can we get back to what really matters now? You know, unemployment, war, the economy, etc…
Good folks the world over are catching on to the corrupt Narcissist in Chief.
The picture on Drudge is worth a thousand words…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!
by the way…Newsbusters is offline…I wonder why???
How embarrassing and what a waste of our tax dollars. Can you just imagine if President Bush had done something like this. The Dems would have had his head on a silver platter.
and don't forget right-wing extremeist conspirators!
The best part was the ridiculously expensive celebratory party Daily set up downtown. After the announcement it was just camera crews filming stunned people wasting hundreds of thousands (or more) of taxpayer money. On the bright side, more than half of Chicago just breathed a sigh of relief.
On an unrelated note, the reports of Daily retiring after this term to travel with his wife have nothing to do with the hundreds of millions lost that the unions were planning on getting. Absolutely nothing. Move along.
Don't worry about a thing, folks……..
Maybe Bertha and ACORN will send the taxpayers back the money that President Zero wasted on putting bucks in his Chicago crony's pockets.
yawn……..
I guess the IOC bought in on all of Obama’s apology tours and decided the good ole USA was unworthy of the Olympic Games. Way to go Obama, you spread all that negative crap about our country and maybe it sticks. A double hit on Friday, the IOC dissed you on the day unemployement hits 9.8 percent. How is that Stimulus working out for you? 01-23-13 can’t arrive soon enough.
Isn't it wonderful??! Poor widdle Valerie….. and, of course, Michelle, for all the sacrifices she so valiantly made for all us little people….
I don't think they helped! I believe that this "kick in the face" is just a further undesrcore that since the current administration and its Cronies has come to office, we have spiraled in the eyes of the world…..you know, dirty laudry and all that!
The EGO has landed! Priceless!!!!
Haha, who wants to go to Chicago for the Olympics. That town is so corrupt, and people are shooting each other. If Chicago cared about anything other then lining their pockets, they would focus on the schools.

Publius,
Great picture.
I am white, therefore I am a racist. It is a cross I'll have to bear as long as this Half-Caucasian man is in office, because he has yet to do one thing I can respect.
why didn't they pitch San Diego? Much better city
I'll bet Daley will be calling for a recount.
The world is waking up to the arrogance of this narcissistic know nothing from Chi town.
OUCH!! I'd like to know which is more important? Olympics for Chicago, or Obamacare, Afghanistan, Economy, Jobs, etc., etc., etc. Congress is looking a lot like a kid playing pin the tail on the donkey, and the Commander in Chief is off to Europe to try and sell Chicago to the Olympics. What is wrong with this picture?
It's Bush's fault.
Hmmm Hmmm Hmm
Barrack Hussein Obama
Now we go get Valerie Jarrett …. Slum lord Queen!!!
and arugula, kale, J. Crew, photo-ops, late-night talk shows, bowling scores (maybe Obama can score the Special Olympics bid for Chicago), kowtowing, securing nuclear power for Iran, etc….

Awesome! Best news of the day!
How do I go about getting the fruits of my labor back from the Govt. for this illegal junket to Denmark. At least the Dane’s do not have to smell their rottenness anymore.
I'm still looking for Al Gore and the treehuggers on this carbon footprint for "FOUR FREAKING HOURS"
chirp…chirp…
It really is sad when we (myself included) take such pleasure in one of our cities' disappointment. I can't imagine having thought that way when LA or Atlanta was awarded the Games. I think it shows what rank amateurs we have in the White House. Out of their league in so many ways.

And that IS an awesome picture.
I sent the links and the videos of that stuff to the pressoffice @ IOC… Also Michelle Malkins storu of corruption !!!
I love it!!!
NOW back to the NEXT Stimulus package that will come out !!!! More BILLIONS we dont; have ….
Remember (watch the left hand)
The Magic Negro has lost his magic!
MMMM
MMMM
MMMM
YES We Can – Barry Hussein Obama !!!!
Dear Leader's sacrifice was in vain. Who has to resign this time?
I guess Michelle won't be able to see the Olympics out her back window….
Those poor children that the Obama's sacrificed so much for will be soooo heartbroken.
mmm mmm mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama!
Wasted MORE money jumping into the Olympics race!
Comes back from Copenhagen with egg on his face!
mmm mmm mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama!
I fell alseep last night watching Scooby Doo on Boomerang, and awoke at 2 a.m. Picked up a book, put it down, had a drink of water, picked up another book, turned on the T.V., flicked to Fox…lo and behold *breaking news*, Obama, mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm live from Denmark.
The President of the United States, using his office, cap-in-hand, begging, the corrupt and corrupting IOC to help him leverage money into his friends bank accounts (a sacrifice for the children, naturalment) was even more shameful and demeaning of the office than "I did not have a jelly donut with that woman". I began to shake I'm afraid, you know, eyes stinging type of thing. What's next, bowing to a Wahabist King? Pffft. Oh, er.
Too bad…I was looking forward to the new event Chicago was planning to add…the railroad tie tossing contest.
Remember what Obama said about his poor bowling skills?
"Heh, Heh, it's like the Special Olympics. Heh, heh."
For that reason alone, the Olympic Committee were correct in sending the Obama's home empty handed.
Maybe Chicago can have their own olympics with events like railroad tie swinging,street pimping,knife lunging,saturday night special shooting and steal and run! Chicago has plenty of competitors to put on the event.

Or San Francisco: the opening ceremonies could include lots of naked people with body glitter.
Well I know they get Fox in Germany, cause the soldiers all watch Glenn Beck now. Oreilly and Beck are the most favored programs on our military bases.
Yes – THE EGO HAS LANDED!
San Diego is much better then San Francisco, Pelosi doesn't live here! Her face would scare all the athletes if they had the Olympics in San Fran.
The IOC said loud and clear, "No We Won't"!!!
I guess the Messiah's "control" is limited to nutroot liberals, uninformed dupes, the easily conned, and the UN.
I do not know or care, however I am proud of the Olympic committee.
I dont know, but Vallerie Jarrette was not on the NEA call.
Well I know for a fact that our US Swim Team didn't want to go to Chicago – that's the LAST place they want the Olympics to be! Bunch of low-life street thugs in Chicago, might as well be on a different planet from the discipline and hard work of swim kids. My daughter is a USA Swim coach here in California.
Obama failed…
The Oblamas surely "Acted Stupidly" in taking separate planes and entourages to Denmark.
because Obama and his Chi-town corrupt thugs couldn't make any money there. Like…duh.
Yes, we all know that. They real question is how do we STOP it? I bet someone had some dirt on him and made him go.
Yep, Obama is always a day late and dollar short. He certainly is NO leader.
correction….Narcissist in Chief.
Chicago's loser team knocked out in first round! Mayor Daly, Holy Obama's and Queen Oprah! The IOC must be racist! Blame Bush! Or, maybe they were listening when Obama went around the world proclaiming how horrible America is!
Poor Barry, he’s been told no again.
It's RIO baby! Our swim team will LOVE it!
Let's hope the "Diversity Czar" doesn't mess that up!
It's Reo for what thats worth.
…but we sent big Oprah and Michelle to excite the judges. They look soooo athletic.
Congratulations to Rio and thank God we can avoid some more corruption from our government.
Obamas and Opri run over by the OLYMPIC BUS !
Will they still blame George Bush, or blame it on rio??
Being the mother of a soldier, did you not find the statement Michelle made about the "sacrifice" she made hauling her huge rear to Copenhagen (in vain) the most disgusting and inflammatory thing you'd ever heard? She can't even spell the WORD.
So will a saiing qualifier from my yacht club. My daughter may qualify in the heptathlon on her second try.
Oh well.
This is social justice.
And he said he would leave his second term as president saying "Let the games begin."
What an arrogant showman.
Your'e out when we say you're out…in 2012 and then you can say "let the games END"
No, No, No we need to keep NO-Bama away from the economy….lets send him to the Saraha to count ways global warming is turning the region into a desert.
Thanks y' all for the very entertaining comments, got my laugh for the day!
If this decision had been made when Bush was prez, the chorus would have been singing a different song: "The hell with the rest of the world. Who needs them?"
He is, he's the president of NO.
Chicago crony White House adviser David Axelrod just now on Fox: “Life goes on.” Axelrod complaining about “relationships and politics that were formidable. And we couldn’t overcome that.”
HA HA HA HA…experiencing an extreme case of Schaudenfreude here….HA HA HA…ROFLMAO!
What do you expect zero, you went around the world for the last 9 months telling everyone that the US sucks so why would they want to have the Olympics in such a sucky country? Looks like you oversold the whole apology tour thing.
I thought the same thing. They must of saw Beck's shows over the last 2 days.
I stand corrected….Thanks!!
Maybe Obama can get the Special Olympics instead? They could have him on the gold medal for bowling.
I guess the power of the teleprompter doesn't work on the IOC either.
LOVE to be a fly on the wall of Air Force One ! The little boy is getting an earful from his momma !
I thought she had "wowed" the committee. I guess she misread the yawns and blank stares as smiles and enthusiasm. hehehe
Nancy will have to share her box of Kleenex with Michelle. Pass the tissue's, sniff – sniff
Obama didnt even make it through the "first term" of voting…. Mmmmmmmm… Like his presidency ?
How is this possible? I thought the world community LOVED our President and his wife (the world media certainly does…)
My son just shakes his head.
So much for his being a 'world' leader…mayhap his head is bigger than he thinks it is!
CONGRATULATIONS RIO ! We are behind you all the way. Best wishes for an exciting and successful Olympic games.
This makes me kind of sad. I understand the reasons for people being happy about this, and it's probably better that they didn't get the Olympics, but I liked the idea of the U.S. hosting again.
