Obama can't bring Olympics to Chi-town

[petegz28]

Chicago was voted out in the first round. It is between Madrid and Rio now.


Thanks for the sacrifice, Michelle. Now you can bash all the racists that kept it out of Chicago.

[frazod]

YAY!!!! AMERICA LOSES!!!!!!!! :clap:

You going to jerk off now, Pete, or are you done already?

[blaise]

I would have liked to see it go to Chicago. I think the city would have represented America well.

Ohmigod, horrible president! haha republicans were right!!

I think it would be cool for Rio to be the first South American city to host the Olympics.

with the star power of Oprah, Michelle and Obama they couldn't get it. hmmmm

[HonestChieffan]

Chicago is a great city to visit, has tons of very fun, cool and fantastic things to do. Its a shame that they have to live with the corruption that has made them famous.

[RaiderH8r]

Not only did they not get it, they got bounced in the first vote.

[wild1]

I don't really see the big deal. Just another fail in a presidency that consists entirely of FAIL so far.

Has a president ever so openly campaigned for it? The fact that he was snubbed is certainly embarrassing. Especially given his groveling before the world.

[InChiefsHell]

Well, the speeches they gave didn't really talk about why Chicago is a great place, rather it was about how the Obama's would really like them in Chicago. they are so "me, me, I, I" they can't friggin' talk about the greatness of America, or why Chicago is a fantastic place, they spent more time talking about their personal narrative. It's just who they are.

Can't believe he went over there and this was NOT in the bag. He just figured the GloBama would get it done.

Hopefully this will be a blow to his damn ego and he'll come down to earth a little.

[Demonpenz]

the olympics would have been a great moral booster with the tough times we are having. It was worth the effort

Hell, I bet a video like that would barley make the news in Rio. Rio is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, so obviously the crime rate wasn't a factor in the voting.

[Swanman]

Isn't it a dangerous town, or is that more myth than reality? I don't know much about it.

Like any big city, there are dangerous areas in Chicago, it's unavoidable. And there has been a rash of kids getting shot in the last year in the rougher areas, which sucks.

However, like any big city, as long as you know which areas to stay out of, Chicago is a great place.

What has become a myth is how dangerous Cabrini Green is. That area, while still containing some housing projects, is nowhere near as bad as it used to and they have actually built very nice homes there as well. I am sure Frazod knows a lot more about this than I do. Stay out of parts of the southside and parts of the westside and you should be good.

[HonestChieffan]

Cabrini Green when it was a project in the good old days of Richard J and Mayor Byrn(sp) was a freaking war zone however.

I slept in my car one night around North and Halstead (circa 1990). That was a risky proposition, seeing how the hoods from Cabrini Green use to control that area - especially after dark.

No doubt about that back then. However, I believe it is a lot safer than it used to be, although I still wouldn't walk around there whistling dixie at night.

The movie Candyman didn't help things back in the 90s as I believe that was set up in Cabrini Green and made to look especially awful, given it was a horror movie.

Yea, and instead of keeping the riff-raff in one area like it was (speaking about Cabrini that is), they spread it out all over the city.

So stay out of the west side, the south side and Cabrini is on the north side so that gives you what, the Loop??? Lincoln Park?

Try looking at a map, still a shitload of terrain in the city and all the surrounding suburbs. And Cabrini never was the worst area, that was the Robert Taylor homes over by Comiskey. It was so bad paramedics wouldn't even go into the towers. Thankfully those have been ripped down.

[frazod]

Ah, well too bad.

Hey, do let me know if anything comes up that might have a negative impact on your livelihood, so I can say "Ah, well too bad" too, you fucking piece of shit.

Michigan Ave and east, the river and north.....relatively safe. Maybe out west as far as Wrigley.

But same can be said of KC. Troost and Prospect from downtown to about 75th aint no picnic ground.

I meant Rio, but I appreciate the response because I don't have that great a knowledge of Chicago either. Good Times was supposed to sort of be set in Cabrini Green, I think, wasn't it? And I remember a long time ago there was people throwing trash out of the windows so they put a sort of fence around the outside so it made it look like a prison.

Wrigley isn't West. Wrigley is considered North from Downtown. West would be United Center, which is located in a shithole.

Our country has REAL PROBLEMS that need addressing. The Olympics would have been an expensive DIVERSION of money, time, and resources. I don't care who the POTUS was pitching this at this time, it is a stupid idea.

Sheet, the Olympic committee probably doesn't even trust where we will be financially in 7 years to want to risk coming here. Let alone what a mess the city of Chicago is in general.

Who knows, maybe Obama was just planting the seed to be a future Olympic Committee chairman or something.

There are reasons for that, good reasons.

[ChiTown]

Mich Ave ends at Oak Street (Near the Beach). From there it's LSD North, which goes into Wrigley area. It's semantics, I suppose, but Wrigley has always been considered North of Downtown/Miracle Mile, not West.

On the grid, Wrigley is at around 1000 West. The city extends out as far as 6000 or 7000 West up there, which is about 6 to 8 miles, so in the grand scheme of things, Wrigley is pretty far east. If you are looking at Wrigleville in general, Wrigley is smack in the middle and the neighborhood extends a couple miles to the west of the stadium.

Yeah, he would have politically benefitted from success here, but America would have gained with him.

I'm not a big fan of Chi-town but whatever. It would have been nice to have an Olympics in the US. I might have even made the trip. One of those things in life a person should try to see live. I'm a little aghast that President World Citizen was just told to get f'd by the IOC after burning a considerable amount of prestige to go over there and kiss ass. I would hope that a US President could engender at least enough respect to get his home town through the first round of voting fer Chrissakes.

In my sporting news every week they do a thing where they as pro-athletes the place they most like visiting on the road and I would say at least half list Chicago.

[alnorth]

reading up a bit on analysis, this could have less to do with Obama and more to do with some bitterness towards the USOC.

Q: Obama aside, what do you think were the primary reasons for such a dramatic rejection -- the first city/country to be voted out?

A: I think it is the battle over TV money, personally. The IOC wants a bigger piece of the U.S. network deal. Then the USOC foolishly declared it would start its own Olympic network with Comcast, showing trials, etc. That ENRAGED the IOC, to put it mildly.

It could just be that disputes over money had doomed the Chicago bid to the point where nothing could have saved it.

[bluehawkdoc]

So do you think he was as stupid as I believe he was to pump up this photo op before he had it in the bag? Getting his wife involved only makes him look more inept.

[patteeu]

I remember when the rest of the world rejected Bush, their opinion didn't matter!

Do you also remember when Obama claimed that he could change the world with nothing but the soothing sound of his own voice in face to face negotiations without preconditions?

[wild1]

I wonder if Rahm is still going to hand out tickets in Rio?

At least at GIG there's the possibility a pickpocket will steal his passport and he'll get stuck there.

[RaiderH8r]

You're leaving Frazod out of the equation. For some reason, he thinks he needs to be the focus of our attention here.

Oprah was certainly over the top and not justified, but I don't see any issue with Michelle going there ahead of time, particularly since Barack couldn't spend much of his own time there to make the right connections with the people they had to.

I've already explained at length why I felt the trip was necessary. He'd look worse if he hadn't gone and seemingly done all he could.

Honestly, I think it was a good thing that he and his wife went. I think he was beyond stupid to listen to his handlers (or perhaps pomposity on his wife's behalf) and decided to pump up the event.

Chicago finished 4th. It wasn't like they lost by a few swayable votes, they couldn't even beat out Tokyo. It's pretty clear they had no shot at getting the games.

I bet they think Oprah's a c*nt.


That'd be my guess.

[InChiefsHell]

The funny thing is, I've been around for 38 years and I've never heard jack shit about the bid process, or seen such coverage of it prior to the thing being announced. Maybe I've just lived in a closet my whole life. Maybe I'm completely out of it. But if Obama had never gone and it never got covered, we wouldn't give two shits right now that Chicago didn't get the games.

Obama did this to himself. I do think the chances might have been better without him, after all he's pissing off people around the world just like at home. But, if there was already such a problem with the money that was mentioned earlier in this thread, then the thing was probably doomed. Which is even MORE reason for Barry to stay the hell away from it.

The only conclusion I can arrive at is that he just thought that his mere presence and some flowery speeches and photo-ops would be enough to get his way. His foreign policy is the same.

I sincerely hope he learned a lesson in the last few months. We'll have to see...

[Duck Dog]

It really is too bad for Chicago, but what sucks worse is the fact that these three (the Nobamas and Ohhprahh) are 3 of our most influential Citizens. Which is sad. It's time to reflect on who may represent America better in the future.

[T-post Tom]

"I think there's certainly some tension between the IOC and the USOC," said Carson Cunningham, a history instructor at DePaul University in Chicago who teaches a course on the modern Olympics. He said the U.S. Olympic Committee got the most TV revenue and inspired jealously among its peers.
Of Chicago's loss, Cunningham said: "Obviously, it's become a political football, and people are going to use it as such. But if you really want to analyze why Chicago lost, it gets a lot more nuanced. Blaming this loss on President Obama's support of the bid, I think, is misleading."

"He only would've hurt our chances"
"This proves he's an America hating Communist, he doesn't even support our Olympic team, everyone else's world leaders didn't think it was beneath them"

Honestly, I don't see the big deal here, other than disappointment for Chicago. Seems to me Obama did what he could. I really don't see how this makes a blip on his approval rating.

Bush Backs Atlanta's Bid to Host 1996 Olympic Games
April 02, 1990
ATLANTA — President Bush today made a pitch for Atlanta to host the 1996 Summer Olympics and promised not to let politics intrude.

Bush, after addressing a broadcasters convention, visited a scale-model exhibit of proposed and existing sport facilities that the Atlanta Organizing Committee is using in its bid to win the Games

President Bush Meets with Chicago 2016 Bid Committee and United States Olympic Committee Members
Union League Club of Chicago
Chicago, Illinois

11:35 A.M. CST

THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank the members of the 2016 Chicago bid to get the Olympics. Listen, Mr. Mayor, you and your committee have put together a great plan. It's a plan that will make America proud.

They say that the Olympics will come to Chicago if we're fortunate enough to be selected, but really it's coming to America, and I can't think of a better city to represent the United States than Chicago.


This is a well thought out venue. There will be -- the athletes will be taken care of. People who will be coming from around the world will find this good city has got fantastic accommodations, great restaurants. It will be safe.

And so I -- this country supports your bid, strongly. And our hope is that the judges will take a good look at Chicago and select Chicago for the 2016 Olympics.

Thank you all.

You're wrong, the 24 hour news cycle forces the conservative outlets to come up with somethine every day if possible against Obama. They'd have found a way to blame him for not making the bid, likely in the ways I mentioned already, or "Bush Sr. and jr. weren't too good to do it".

[D2112]

Mr. & Mrs. O: "The USA has hosted only 4 of the last 15 summer/winter games. It is an outrage that another non-USA city is yet again getting serious consideration. An outrage, we say to you."

Former IOC member Kai Holm said that the brevity of his appearance may have counted against him.

The short stopover was "too business-like," Holm said. "It can be that some IOC members see it as a lack of respect."

Aloof? Arrogant?

I agree. The IOC has been an overblown, aloof, arrogant and corrupt money pit since the days of when Juan Antonio Samaranch demanded he be addressed as "his Excellency" and allowed .5 million a year for rental of a suite in Switzerland for their HQ.

The entire process is a joke. The Olympics aren't about sport or amateurism. They are about Coke and Nike and marketing and the chance to be on a Wheaties box.

And honestly, if this country never hosts another Olympic games, it will not matter to me in the least.

From a political POV it was maybe the dumbest thing I've seen Obama do. With the beating he's taking over his agenda why in the world would you stick your neck out like that?

Terrible over reach politically.
