Chicago loses Olympic bid....

Damn even Obama couldn't get the Olympics in Chicago. I'm surprised though they gave it to Rio De Janerio got the bid. I personally would have choosen Madrid.

Yay for rape and murders! Rio rocks! :doh:

America loses bid and conservatives cheer? Now that's patriotism I can believe in. No, wait, Chicago isn't part of real America. Cheer on, cheer on real Americans.

Rio is a cool place...you just need to roll at least 3 deep and stay away from alleyways. I'm sure they'll tighten the security even more than during Carnival (pistol toting cop stationed at every block). I'm happy for Brazil and South America.

Me too. It's kind of amazing- there are only 6 inhabitable continents on this planet, and in all these years both South America and Africa have never had an Olympics.

Its good Chicago doesnt have to deal with the Olympics, alotta money, secruity, unneeded crap.

But on the real, Rio is a Fed up city. Sure a ton of growth, but they hide their ugly side. One of the worst crime, murder and drug rates in the world. A ton of poverty and the gang violence there is suppose to worst than anything in the US.

It probley had something to do with the fact that rio is going to spend 14 billion on it, and chicago was only droping 3. Good for south america's economy.

It's funny how it's Obama's defeat, but not America loses Olympic bid. But hey, country first right?

Really pathetic to see some exultant over America losing the Olympics just because it can be spun as a "loss" for Obama. Just disgraceful.

Well, his arrogance makes it satisfying when he loses on an unimportant issue like this. His caravan of himself, his wife and Oprah thought they were invincible...and they were the first to be rejected. It was definitely a statement being made by the IOC. Our President is not on good terms with Europe anymore, and they make up most of the IOC.

Besides, you know we'd ALL be paying for the BILLION dollar Olympic park they promised. What a waste in these tough times, Chicago has PLENTY of stadiums already. Most of Chicago did not want the Olympics anyways.

I'd glad to see South America finally get a chance to be the host.
