If you think that the Chicago olympics would have benfitted anyone but union thugs, ACORN criminals and mobsters, you are living in a dream world. If you think that is what America is all about, I guess that is up to you.

Barack Obama made it all about him, instead of making it all about America. Take a look at the number of times he and Michelle used “I” or “me” in their little speeches.

You are way, way off base here, but I am sure that is on purpose. Very odd that you sign up just to post on this. Very odd.

Same deal here.

But I guess if you think you make the sun shine, it’s hard to just bask in someone else’s afterglow.

This is about his hubris in believing that the whole wide world wants to kiss his a$$ — all the while running down our country — and then being unceremoniously shown the door.

I just don’t see this as a big loss for our country. Seriously. And this whole tired line coming right out of the liberal handbook — yes, I know you keep going on about how you don’t like Obama, etc, and so on and so forth — is a load of crap created to make THEM feel less guilty about wanting our country to LOSE A WAR.

Because, they, of course, don’t see the difference. Do you?

The USOC started planning the strategy for the 2016 games, long before Obama was elected. It had zilch to do with him. And even if it did, our country has to come first.

By your logic, you should love it when other nations beat us at everything, provided there’s a liberal in the White House.

No one, and nothing, will EVER get me to root against the United States of America! Conservative or liberal or anything else!

Country first. Now, let’s go get the 2020 Olympics here in the USA!

I just don’t see where this would make any real conservatives happy. I don’t like Barry O either, but not to the point of rooting against the land I live in. Let’s not be nuts about this, guys.

I wish the sources were a bit more reliable, but I only felt like doing a very quick search on Google.

I am celebrating the fact that someone on the planet was able to see through the manure-caked veneer that covers this president. I also think it was a good decision to not give Chicago the chance to host the most corrupt games in Olympic history.

I agree that country must come first. That’s why I will always oppose Obama.

I don’t like this particular president but this wasn’t just about him. I like the idea of America hosting the Olympics. It’s a good thing. It brings jobs; it brings prestige; it brings international recognition. We can’t take our world leadership position for granted. Events like this remind people of the glory of America. Who cares who is president when these games take place?

Look at all the positive media coverage China got last year from the Olympics. And they’re a communist totalitarian state! This would have been good for America, as it was in ’84 under Reagan (my hero) and under Clinton (who I hated) in ’96.

I can’t believe that some conservatives are actually CELEBRATING that the Olympic Games will NOT be coming to the United States of America!?!?!?

It’s disappointing. I think our country has to come first, regardless. I’m rooting for America always, especially when the competition is socialist states like Brazil and Spain.

It’s crazy. I don’t get it.

For those who dismiss the economic significance of hosting the Olympics, consider Atlanta’s development during the past 13 years. Since the 1996 Olympics, the number of international companies with branches in Greater Atlanta doubled to surpass 2,200, according to Global Atlanta, the region’s international business news journal.

My country first, always. Sorry, guys.

For instance, when our troops are at war, and your side voted for it then pulled the rug from under them. That’s a really good example of not rooting for America, to say the least. Traitorious, to say the most.

Again, learn the difference.

Yes, I want Obama to fail. I want him to fail at enacting economic fascism in America. I want him to fail at his health care plan. I want him to fail at Cap & Tax. I want him to fail at enabling dictatorships and terrorist states like Venezuela, North Korea and Iran and wannabe dictators like Zelaya and Putin.

I want him to fail at these things because that is a “win” for America. Enacting Obama’s policies would be detrimental not only to the United States, but to freedom and liberty as a whole.

MASSIVE DIFFERENCE with the idiots who wanted America to fail in its effort to end terror, totalitarianism and tyranny the world-over.

Rhetorical question: you’re already blammed.

And as far as people for whom a real case for treason can be made, look at John Kerry and Ted Kennedy.

And sorry I can’t lay claim to “noted Constitutional scholar” but there are a number of highly respected lawyers on this site, who probably can.

And by the way, your idiot Messiah is the first occupant of the White House to demean the office by groveling for an Olympics bid. So, you’re right about one thing, GWB wouldn’t have lowered himself to try.

And, nothing you do or say “bothers” me. Liberals are a source of great amusement. I hope you don’t get the blam stick before we’re done having fun with your ignorant self.
