GO RIO

[chuckywang]

That was a very powerful speech by Michelle Obama. She looked like she was about to cry talking about her late father.

 

And President Obama is always an awesome orator.

LOL Reggie Love. It always cracks me up to see him beside the President.

LOL Reggie Love. It always cracks me up to see him beside the President.

 

i remember him from his duke days, he'd play 8 minutes and get 4 fouls.

Politics aside, that man can read a phone book and be captivating.

 

But yes, Go Rio.

I think they do the voting then, but I dunno...the whole process is ridiculous.

[Garwilly]

Voting starts at 10:10 Chicago time.

 

There will be an announcement show, I hear they announce the winner at 11:57.

[Banedon]

Gotcha.

In all honesty, I can't possibly think how Rio would be able to pull off a decent Olympics. I was there last year, and really enjoyed it, but it's a dump. As a fomer Chicagoan I'm sure I'm biased, but I really don't think Rio can stand up to Chicago on the merits.

 

Votes are happening now. Chicago is now out of the running.

[Keener98]

No Olympics in Chicago, they are out after the 1st round of voting.

[Garwilly]

Chicago Eliminated first.

[E.J.]

MSNBC is reporting that Chicago has been taken out of the running. It received the lowest number of votes. LOL

[jersey cubs fan]

That's a major miscalculation by the White House.

[E.J.]

I'm sure Fox News and the like are going to have a field day with this.

[Cutler6]

I blame Oprah, she runied it for us!

[SouthSideRyan]

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Flames24Rulz]

Whoops.

[OleMissCub]

lol

 

usually when big dog pols go somewhere to lobby for something they are usually sure of the answer first. Kinda like how when Clinton went to North Korea to lobby for those journalists to be released...I'm pretty sure he already knew the answer before going over there.

 

this is pretty embarrassing for the Obama crew

[da bears]

In your face Daley!

[Tyrant]

this is pretty embarrassing for the Obama crew

[Magnetic Curses]

[OleMissCub]
