Rio de Janerio, Brazil will be the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Just yesterday, I said I didn’t begrudge Obama going over to make the "final push", as I also thought it was a done deal. It would come down to Rio and Chicago, and by Obama going over there, it would be the straw that would cause the weight to swing to Chicago.
Boy, I admit I misread that. That straw turned out to be the straw that broke the camel’s back instead.
Obama went over and acted like the stuck up ass I perceive him as, and the IOC members watched. They had watched him before at the UN with his little nuke freeze leftover and had voted along with him, and perceived him as naive. He then waltzed over to Copenhagen, expecting the Olympics to be handed to his hometown of Chicago on a silver platter.
He got wanged upside the head by that platter, and Chicago disappeared first off the beauty pageant.
Tokyo left the party next, leaving Madrid and Rio at the stage.
At this point, to me, it was a foregone conclusion. Rio may have a crime rate to rival Chicago, but it has both a natural and artificial beauty, and a reputation, not many can match. Plus, it would be the very first Olympics in South America, and now Buenos Aires can start planning for their 2024 bid.
The charges of racism have already started (despite the great Pele being on the presentation team for Brazil). The goofy liberals will now blame Bush for the loss, not the arrogance of Obama. Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are already being blamed by the idiots on the left. The press is stunned as much as the crowd in Chicago was, who stuck around thinking the vote might be redone by the SEIU, Acorn and the Daley machine or something.
Thus, Rio wins the war for the Olympics. Obama’s and his wife’s speeches and attitude end up doing the opposite from what they should have done, and we have a new slogan for the 2012 campaign:
Mitt Romney 2012: He would have gotten us the Olympics
