Is There Any Doubt That Obama’s Olympic Trip Is Noting But Cronyism & Politcal Payback? Where Is The Outrage?
Byhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090930/us…
“Though Gibbs spoke of the economic impact of the Games as a boon for the entire nation, outside analysts expect most of the economic benefits to be focused in Chicago and the surrounding area, where many of Obama’s biggest boosters are heavily invested in the real estate and tourism industry”

Every single thing he and the Dem-controlled congress DO is “nothing but cronyism & politcal payback”…We’re used to it now…It takes too much energy to be ‘outraged’ every time they open their pandering, greedy, crooked mouths…Especially when our ‘outrage’ falls on deaf ears.
All that we can do now is vote them out in 2010 and 2012

Just like you I am also anti-America and I want a city in another country to get the Olympics. Anything to make sure our country doesn’t have the world stage.
Obama is black and I don’t want him to be the reason for getting the Olympics so I agree with you.
I am outraged! No Olympics for the US ever again… until the President is white again anyway.

The surrounding area includes wealth created in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin,and possibly Iowa. Hotels, restaurants, airports,and countless other business will have advantage. Any THINKING person understands that criticism of this effort is strictly partisan in nature.

Guess you were outraged while Bush sat there in Beijing for four days during the Olympics there, doing nothing but hold the US flag backwards.
Obama is going to try to get them HERE. Help US.

There is no doubt.
It’s outrageous that he is ignoring the problems in this country in order to pay back his mafia buddies in Chicago. It’s sickening.
He should be impeached.

Seriously… this is a miniscule thing for the repulitards to complain about and would be akin to the idiots complaining that he vacations on Marthas Vineyard and not at DisneyWorld.
Who cares besides the Republicans?

Next Obama will be shilling for Uncle Billy Bob’s Fine Furniture and Used Cars in downtown Chicago. After all Uncle Billy gave Obama 100 bucks and a used Cadilllac way back in 1994 for his Illinois State Senate campaign.

NO doubt at all and if they get the games 0bama and his cronies will make mega $$ and guess who will pay for all the improvements, you got it tax dollars^

While I agree it is cronyism, at least he his harming fewer people by being distracted with his trip to Europe. Hopefully they can keep him there for about 3 years and 4 months.

I saw Ann Coulter last night and even she said this is really not an important matter. O’Reilly said he approve dof the Pres. trying to get the Olympics for Chicago.
So there just is no outrage.

The “outrage” is already here!
But his Fawning-Tingling Media Machine wont report it. They’d just make them out to be racist!

“This is an outrage. A Duke has sat on this exchange since it was founded”
Ah, Mortimor your brother’s not well.
F him! Turn these machines back on!
BLah blah, wah wah wah………………….

There is plenty of outrage, like the Van Jones and ACORN scandals, the mainstream media will not cover it.

Fox News and Lou Dobbs on CNN dare to say anything negative against Obama. The other networks think he is above reproach.

The Chicago Olympics should produce hundreds of indictments. Here’s hoping Rio gets the nod!

At least he won’t have to aplogize to anyone in Copenhagen.

Go find something better to do, I like fishing, it’s productive and fun.

faux outrage?

Barry’s really got cahones, eh? But not in the way the country needs.

Good god, you people are anti-American. Who cares where the economic boom happens?? It’s in AMERICA. At one point, that would have made Cons incredibly proud….to pull for their country. Now, you literally side with every totalitarian state out there, every terrorist, every dictatorship, all so you can oppose the President. Have some pride and respect in your country.
