Axelrod insinuates that politics sank Obama’s Olympic effort.

Weasel Zippers: Video Gold: CNN Anchor Can’t Bring Himself to Believe Chicago Wasn’t Picked to Host Olympics….
I didn’t realize Chicago got the LEAST amount of votes. Ouch!
Epic, epic failure!
There was some seriously bad political mojo there in Copenhagen.
First Letterman’s humiliation. Now the Olympics just shot-putted Obama in the nuts. I hereby declare October 2, 2009 to be SCHADENFRIDAY.

Quipster: White House Response To Loss Of Chicago Olympics Bid
Publius at Big Government: So, 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.”

Ace: Republicans Rooting Against America?
I would never root against America….but I would root against Obama and his corrupt Chicago cronies making out like bandits on the deal. The city of Chicago was evenly split on the Olympics…does that mean half of those people were rooting against America? Glen Thrush is an idiot.
Gold Medal – Rio
Silver Medal – Madrid
Bronze Medal – Tokyo
Did Not Place – United States of Obama
Smart power!! It’s so nice to be loved by the world again.

It’s already started. I just heard Rowdy Gaines, who was sort of the MC of the Chicago event, say that “Maybe the politics of the last 8 years affected the vote”.
Unreal. These people have zero shame.

someone said yesterday that if the IOC gives the olympics to chicago, they might as well give it to bagdhad. i think maybe the recent deadly honor student violence had something to do with it.

They told me if I voted for John McCain the world would still hate us and we’d be out of the running for the 2016 Olympics. And they were right!
