It didn't take long for the liberal lemmings to blame President Bush for the Obamas failed effort in Copenhagen. Given the speed of the reaction Democratic Illinois Senator Rowland Burris , you know the guy that bought the seat in Chicago, sped to a microphone to pronounce the inability to deliver the fault of President Bush. The shear speed of the response suggests it had to be a canned blame Bush reprise. Blaming Bush for Obama's failures is an accurate reflection of the unimaginative, stale, sterile, lack luster, liberal leadership occupying seats in the People's House and Congress in Washington.

Yes I watched Roland Burris make an ass of himself on TV. I see that he and Jesse Jackson JR are watchdog list of 15 most corrupt politicians in USA.
When I heard the news that Chicago had lost I called several friends and we will be going to a local watering hole to celebrate . I can't tell you just how pleased I am to see the Crooks from Crook county can't get their greedy paws on more money they will steal. What a go Rio
Perhaps the politicos can get back to fixing many of the problems facing Chi town.
Blame it on BUSH where have we heard that before?

I believe what Burris said was wrong wrong wrong. I dont think anyone is really to blame that the U.S. did not get the Olympics, I think it was more about giving the Southern Countries a chance. I do believe that by celebrating the loss to Chicago hurts the General Population not the ones you are aiming at. Isn't your remarks a little bit Politically biased????

More Chicago residents were against the Olympics than there for the Olympics. Hell they wanted to buid the 80,000 seat staium in Lincoln Park only to tear it down after the Olympics. I think the IOC made a brilliant choice. I thought this was the Polital Forum. DUH

Anyone who did not favor Chicago getting the Olympics was demonstrating the deep seated racism that is the curse of this world. Obviously the Olympic Committee is controlled by white Europeans who are uncomfortable with the most powerful and most popular man in the world being black. Obviously the voting was fixed, since Chicago got only 19 votes in the first round. The ACORN representatives alone cast 47 votes for Chicago!

Burris.....gives the Democratic party a bad name. Good thing he isn't running for re-election. But then again he wasn't elected.

Actually it is sad....the older Mayor Daly would have found a way to payoff the committee. You heard about the old women who wanted to be buried in Chicago, just so she could remain active in politics.

Muncle you and the IOC made my day.

The olympics, while a big deal, are simply a symptom of what is happening with this Presidency.

He is a rock star...a great speaker..and folks are beginning to treat him like the "empty suit" he has been called. I, while I opposed and still do oppose his domestic agenda totally, am hoping that he snaps out of this rock star image with no substance.

He promised to engage this countries enemies and we will be talking with Iran as announced this week, SOMETHING THAT IRAN HAS WANTED FOR YEARS

He scrapped the missle defense system in hopes that maybe Russia and China would then favor sanctions to Iran...they have not budged on that !

He announced an Afghan strategy 6 months ago, and while it is smart at times to revisit, he is leaving his generals hanging out to dry while he changes his mind after 6 months on a war that at the time he said was a worthy war !

He stopped calling the war on terror, the war on terror...and those in Gtmo are not called terrorists anymore, HOWEVER, I am linking to an article written today by Cal Thomas which exposes why it is taking so long to get Gtmo closed. It seems that the "terrorists" that are there, are actually terrorists and they are having trouble placing them anywhere in the world. This administration calls these terrorists refugees and they have received so much sympathy from so many in this country but when you tear back the wrappings...there are terrorists, plain and simple.

"Thomas: Dig a little and it's clear Gitmo detainees pose a grave threat"

Please Mr President, wake up and become our President...we dont need anymore rock stars on tv several times each day just talking.

What a small minded, sad little group of people you are to be happy that AMERICA did not get the Olympics. Sigh.

BTW, have any of you actually been to Chicago? It's one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Politics aside, you are dumping on some of the most wonderful people you'll ever meet, just to say something hateful about your President. I'm very proud to be from Chicago. Mayor Daily is 1000% for his citizens. Burris is an ass and not beloved in Chi at all. I did not hear what he said, but if he's blaming Bush... that's just plain ridiculous.

So, if all you know of Chicago is what you've read in some podunk little newspaper, remember EVERY city and town has it's element of corruption.

And, sweeties, quite frankly, if you haven't lived in Chicago... You haven't lived!

Think about it. Why would anyone want to give the Olympics to the USA after Obama traveled around the world apologizing and putting down the USA.

When does he EVER say good things about the USA to the international communities?

It's one more failure just like the rest of his policies.

Does doing some undergrad work at Northwestern in Evanston (circa 60's) count? I remember a neat watering hole in Skokie where all the bartenders were magicians. Can't remember the name, but, would if I heard it. Anybody know it?

It would have been noble for the President to push for Detroit where they really could have used the economic and redevelopment boost instead of playing political favoritism and patronage games with the Daley machine. It could have created jobs and redevelopment opportunity for arguably the most heavily devastated and unemployment challenged urban area in the country. He would have had my support for his efforts.

It was not just Burris....the Chicago Sun Times has an editorial today that talks about how it was lost because Obama was unable to turn around the USA image which Jessie Jackson is quoted as saying basically the same thing, and as the days go on I can assure you there will be more of this !
