Olympics decision stuns Chicago crowd

CHICAGO (AP) - Thousands of people are standing in stunned silence in downtown Chicago after watching the International Olympic Committee choose someone else for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

The vote in Copenhagen was carried on huge television screens in the Daley Center, set up to carry what many had hoped would be approval of Chicago to host the games.

Instead, Chicago was bounced in the first round of voting Friday, bringing an audible gasp heard from the crowd.

The city was eliminated so quickly that some of the would-be revelers weren’t sure what had happened. Some started asking if they had heard what they thought they heard.

“I’ve never really had a disappointment like this,” said Ken Rudd, a 33-year-old salesman from Evergreen Park. “This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen.”

Many stood for a few minutes, staring at the screen, and at least one flung his hands into the air in a crude gesture toward the TV screen.

Within seconds, people began filing out of the plaza.

Chicago was in a race with Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo and Madrid for the 2016 games.

Olympics decision stuns Chicago crowd

Flying Air Force 1 and the entire entourage to Copenhagen. Millions of Dollars

Having the President of the United in your pocket (Chicago). Invaluable

The IOC bitch slapping Obama, the Wookie and Oprah to the curb… PRICELESS

The Chicago Community Organizer, the ‘hood rat that would be POTUS, has struck out. And in doing so, he has cost the American tax payer even MORE millions of dollars that we just don’t have to spare.

Barack Hussein Obama took the entire entourage, Air Force 1, the full security detail, the staff, the decoy planes and helicopters, ALL of it. And he came back with NOTHING!

He sent Michelle Obama on a separate plane, with the Queen of Chicago, Oprah Winfrey, and they all stood there, hat in hand, pleading for Chicago to be given the 2016 Olympics. An effort that I feel is nothing more than the biggest Chicago *machine* scam in history. And THEY came back with nothing!

Al Capone would not be proud of what kind of gangster runs Chicago now!

    Obama went there to slam Bush and apologize for America.

    Obama used both his stature as a statesman and his personal life story for impact. He held out the prospect of a Chicago games helping reconnect the United States with the world after the presidency of his predecessor, George W. Bush…Over the last several years, sometimes that fundamental truth about the United States has been lost,” Obama said.”

    Transparently the IOC doesn’t think much of a Head of State that thinks of his nation as an embarrassment.

  2. Katie says:

    What stature as a Statesman BobF? He is no statesman for anyone to admire.

    Today the world told Obama & the Chicago mob what they really thought of them!

  3. TexasFred says:

    Obama used his ASSUMED stature as a statesman. 😈

  4. BobF says:

    Katie, that’s not me saying he’s a statesman, that was a quote from the article.

    Statesman? ROFLMAO That’s the second great, much needed, chuckle I’ve had today. The first was the news Obummer & Co fell flat on their faces. 😀

  6. HoosierArmyMom says:

    Do ya think maybe the world community is afraid that the Obama/Chicago Politics thing might be “catching”??? I wouldn’t want to go to Chicago if they were giving away gold bars on the trains! In fact I’d rather floss my anal orifice with razor wire!!!

  7. James Shott says:

    His speech was a typical “I/me/we” thing. Maybe that’s what did him in.

    It serves his right; he shoulda known better. I wonder if he’s bright enough, or human enough, to be embarrassed at this gigantic failure?

  8. ablur says:

    I am hoping that this is one domino in a continuous line of BO desires and ambitions falling. I can’t wait to see the rest of the dominoes fall.

  9. TexasFred says:

    James, it would be my guess that Obama was NOT embarrassed, I am thinking stunned might be more the word. Stunned that the IOC didn’t fall for all that Chicago Community Organizer charm…

    I am of the opinion that Obama is convinced that he has NEVER had a failure, regardless the fact that his entire life has been a sham and a failure…

    He lives in an Obama World where he is King and nothing is EVER wrong…

    It’s good to be Da’ King…

    Now Fred, you know the IOCs decision has to be racist. Comrade Obama, The First Hoe, The Opra couldn’t have failed could they?

  11. TexasFred says:

    @ minuteman26… They didn’t think they could fail… 😈

  12. Silver Fox says:

    Great day for American, but even a greater day for those few good folks in the windy city. Bet Daley will lift a few tonight. Valarie Jarrett’s stock is down today with her Chicago cronnies. I like this post Fred.

  13. Bloviating Zeppelin says:

    Well hardy-friggin’-har! You mean all the rest of the planet doesn’t LOVE the United States with Mr Obama in the driver’s seat and Mr Bush back in Tejas?

    Chicago taxpayers, you just saved yourselves MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars.

    If anybody didn’t listen to Rush today, they missed the funniest show ever. Rush was on a roll. Every chance he got he was singing…..Barrack Hussien Obamma….mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmmm. I Never laughed so much.
    They were telling about valerie jarrett and all her slum properties that she wouldn’t maintain in chicago. She was going to make millions by selling them to make room for the Olympic Villiage and they I’ll bet, were all in on it. Crookedass fucksticks. The best one was by the new york slimes. They put it on the sports page. hee hee hee. They said that hussien fuckwadi went to Copenhagen under the guise of talking to his General Mc Chrystal…….all 25 minutes. hahahahahaha These liberal assed pukes are masters of excuses when it comes to getting their asses handed to’em.
    Glad to see you back Fred. Feeling better I hope??

  15. extex_cop says:

    Hey Fred…you got that one right…PRICELESS ! ! !

    I have not laughed so hard in days. I almost had to pull my car over when the news reported HE ( I mean Chicago ) was thrown out in the first round. I hope that is just one in a many turn downs that he and his administration face during his thier time in office.

  16. Faultline USA says:

    To paraphrase Charles Krauthammer, he was trashed by the Euro-trash that he tried so hard to impress.

  17. Robert says:

    Fred said He lives in an Obama World where he is King and nothing is EVER wrong…

    It’s good to be Da’ King…”

    I’d like to see him treated more like Rodney King, than King George….

  18. Eric says:

    Remember his disrespectful comments about his bowling score and the ‘Special’ Olympics…

    I think this might of been the IOC’s way of calling him the retard.
