Hey bro, take it easy, I ride a Giant just like you.

I would expect Rio to get it. The media has totally mis-called this - the Olympics deserve to be in South America for the first time - even if the venue isn't ideal. It is the right thing to do.

Im thinking Level 3 or Level 4 here.

For botto? What part of "take political talk to P&R" qualifies as ******bag?

I guess Obama forgot to bring the Kool-Aid.

I really thimk Mrs. Obamma was out of her league. Bill C. does much better in these situations.

Where would you rather attend the Olympics? Rio, Madrid, or Chicago. 'nuff said. Really not a surprise to me.

Nothing compared to the $48 million it took to be included in the bidding process.

a lot depends on what he was wearing and how he looked at the time of the post (jesus bling, collar pop, orange skin) and whether he had a hot chick on his arm. Anyone have a picture?

that would be a first.

OH! OH! Lets talk about the "So you think you can dance" results next. I mean, I don't even really like bikes anyway.

i dance on pedals

Obama is not a roadie, THAT"S the reason nobody cares.

On the brighter side, I heard Michelle will be appearing on Seasame Street.:thumb:

Will that make it okay for Bert and Ernie to finally quit calling each other "roommates"?

Brazil won it. To tell you the truth, I'm somewhat disappointed that I won't be able to catch a glimpse of the Olympics in the Midwest but life goes on.

The other factor is the economy. Spain is in an economic slump. Brazil's economy is going strong. Chicago's economy? Even though this goes to 2016, the spending for infrastructure must begin soon. Nobody really knows the price tag of the Beijing Games. But I bet it was a lot.

Considering the number of people who think "prolly" is a word, it probably should've gone to education instead.

:lol:

Is anyone really surprised?

Sure the US loves Chicago, but I think that's about it. Perspective folks, perspective.

Yeah, I kinda wondered about that. Chicago is just a "meh" kind of town. Cool city and all, but going up against Rio and Madrid?

Welcome to foo. :D

Nothing compared to the $48 million it took to be included in the bidding process.

Actually, the local news is reporting that $70 million was expended on the bid, all of it privately raised. However, the supreme WTF!!! look on the crowd in Daley Plaza when the first round result was announced live was PRICELESS!

I am so relieved. I thought I was going to have to move, or bury my money in the back yard to keep Daley's crew away from it.

Chicago should have used the SLC playbook and bribed the crap out of the committee.

First he gets pantsed by North Korea and Iran, now rejected by the IOC, these people need to be locked up. Don't they know how great he is?

the US loves Chicago

We do?

looky here people, an idiot has weighed in. sarah, is that you?

let's see what rio can do.

should be good buisness from tourists buying drugs. :innocent:

I'm surprised Chicago didn't bribe them...like they do for everything else!

Gooooooooooosh!

I don't see what the big deal is. It's an international competition, it should be held, you know, around the world.

The bribe was obviously not enough.... The IOC has 'spensive tastes....

True that!

Rio knows how to put on a party, should be a good show!
