Sun Sep 27 2009 21:56:11 ET

A local TV station that reported on Chicagoans NOT wanting the Olympics has been told NOT to run the report again, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT!

The Chicago Olympic Committee told FOX Chicago that its broadcast "would harm Chicago's chances" to be awarded the games.

The station's news director ordered staff to hold fire after the report aired once last Thursday morning, claims a source.

Chicago, Madrid, Tokyo and Rio are mounting strong bids for the honor to host in 2016.

The International Olympic Committee makes its decision on Friday. President Obama will lead the in-person push.

Chicago and Tokyo were just eliminated from their bid to host the olympics.

It comes down to Rio or Madrid. - Final vote later today.

Did they or do they give a reason on what grounds they use for elimination?

Chicago is OUT! Chicago is OUT! Chicago finished dead last!

  It must be racism. Obama made a wise choice running over there to make a personal appeal?

It's better than paying for all those cops when people are getting mugged on the streets between venues.

Can you IMAGINE the graft and federal stimulus dollars that would have gone to Chicago if they won??

Viva de Rio!

Certainly is racism...


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

I think it is just the global community 'sticking it' to the united states. Obama is starting to lose his charm and control!

Rio beat Obamaville? lol.

  Here's the latest KRAT spin; The Illinois Senator {hand picked by Gov Blago} is blaming this all on Bush. Chicago's pick came in last-not because Obama is a bad of wind but because of President Bush. Just like here where Son of Sam's horrible pick on the City planning commis is all Evil Al's fault? Same plan just change the names to protect the DEM.

Quoted Text
Senator Rowland Burris of Illinois, the Senator who was appointed to fill President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, blames George Bush for Chicago not getting the Olympics in 2016. Burris stated in an interview, shortly after the announcement, that the image of the U. S. has been so tarnished in the last 8 years that, even Barack Obama making an unprecedented pitch for the games could not overcome the hatred the world has for us as a result of George Bush.




Hahhahahahah - ya, it's all Bush's fault.  These people are on drugs.

"even Barack Obama" - like he's some kinda god or jedi knight.  Give me a break.

NO- IT WAS NIXON, HE DID IT! Are they even real, or is this some sitcom?

Oh the 'bush blame' is gonna get old. It is getting old already. Sure bush's administration was wrong in plenty of issues. But I thoughtthat Lord obama was gonna raise his staff to the heavens, divide the red sea, heal the sick,(healthcare), create jobs, stop wars, no more neuclear bombs and the list goes on. Instead he and the mrs. fly overseas and tries to sell chicago. Now that is what I call an executive emergency!  I guess the he found out that he is way over his head as president. And is finding road blocks and corruption at evey turn in his administration so far.

Chicago is not the best place for the Olympics for many reasons and the present violence is just one of them.
