Is anyone else happy about this. The city is millions of dollars in the red and probably would have needed federal money to pull this off. Thank goodness this didn't happen.

Agree with you, Finch. I'm also happy about it because it means failure for Obama and Oprah.

Admittedly, I am more happy about it because of Mike's reason than Finch's.
I realize this is childish.

Oh, I embrace my vindictiveness. It makes it easier to live with myself.

Obviously, the IOC are racists just like everyone else that doesn't swoon under Obama's charms.

I wonder who this will be blamed on. Because there is no way it's Obama's fault

You also realize that a bunch of his cronies own land in slums that were designated for Olympic use, don't you? They stood to make thousands, consequently millions.

Correct Matt, but that is/was just the tip of the iceberg. The Daley machine in Chicago would have taken political graft and corruption to levels unheard of in international circles. These guys are the best at what they do (dirty politics).

Yep. I was going to use the SLC games as a comparison but didn't know if anyone would catch it. My apologies.
