put a muff on it DubaiBoy.. Nor this has to do with bodybuilding nor your crush on Obama which btw is "president" of a country you have nothing to do with as you are an immigrant living in Canada.
www.intrade.com has Chicago at 60% for getting the Olympics, Rio is at 40%. I don't see how he could go there without already knowing it was in the bag. If he doesn't get it, Republicans will have a field day with this >:(
Ok i'll make it about bodybuilding, Dex should have won the Olympia!, ok happy now fathead?
Who's "Dex" you retarded... "let me log on a bodybuilding forum past 3AM central to post about another negro I idolize but yet have no fucken clue what's really going on but, hey I think I've got it going on in my 1br condo in Winnipeg..."
I sincerely think you've got the comprehension level of of a 6 or 7th grader... keep livin' the dream shorty..... ::)
Should be in Rio, more exciting city than Chi-town.
nope. the pan american games were a complete mess there. tons of money stolen. they have to suppress residents just to get security up to snuff which means constant raids and body count up for no reason but to give foreigners a good time. big question marks about structural integrity with their small - mid size stadiums. the Olympic committee put it on the table as a gesture but it aint happening as it shouldn't. it should be in Chicago.
I lived in Chicago for quite some time...the general concensus there is that they don't want it. The cost of hosting exceeds the profit for 2 weeks worth festivities. I still think it would be cool.

no flaming intended here matt but alex lives in beautiflul california and you're a black guy in SaskatoonHaha. No shit. I'm a Canuckistani and even I know that Saskatoon is, like, the asshole of Canada.
you do the math on that one
That used to be the case with Olympics, but the business model has completely changed over the last 25 years. It's virtually impossible to lose money on the Olympics these days, because now people accept that they're a business and not just 'The Games' that have some magical pot of gold for funding.Uh, no. People only thought that after the Ueberroth '84 LA games where a profit was actually made. Hasn't happened since. Every Olympics is basically a money pit and a civic make-work effort. Hell, it took us 30+ years to pay off the '76 Montreal games.
Haha. No shit. I'm a Canuckistani and even I know that Saskatoon is, like, the asshole of Canada.

Saskatoon on Wiki, sounds like a nice place ;D
"Recent data suggests that Saskatchewan has the highest rate of new HIV cases in Canada[19] and that 1/4 cases of HIV infected babies are from Saskatchewan.[20] This increase in HIV cases has been in part attributed to growing IV drug use, a gang problem, poverty and prostitution in the city of Saskatoon, which has a higher rate of HIV than other areas[20][21][22]"
I think its odd how presidents and celebrities travel to the IOC and tell emotional stories why their city should host the games. I think this should be done by a city olympic committee without the president going.
The Olympics have been profitable, like in Salt Lake City, but I don't think they are always profitable. Chicago leaders are so corrupt, who knows what will happen with the $.
I lived in Chicago for quite some time...the general concensus there is that they don't want it. The cost of hosting exceeds the profit for 2 weeks worth festivities.

Actually, the only Olympics since 1984 to record a loss were the Athens Games of 2004, which were a financial failure because of the fact that they minimized commercial advertising. They turned away several sponsors, because they wanted their Games to be about the spirit of the Olympics, rather than the spirit of commercialism. LA, Seoul, Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, and Beijing all recorded a profit.I'd be very surprised if this true. I'd say there's a lot of creative accounting going on, then. 'Course, having the games come to Chi-town, the home of creative political and civic accounting, will be most apt.
While I cannot speak on the successes or failures of the Winter Games, I'm sure that information is readily available, too. In regards to Vancouver 2010, I know they've generated thousands of new construction jobs to widen the Sea-to-Sky Highway leading up to Whistler, to say nothing of all the new construction in downtown Vancouver itself. I feel strongly that these will be a profitable Games for Canada. I don't have a place to stay yet, but do plan on getting tickets for that first weekend. :)

/i know in vancouver, they've already badly overrun their budget. but that is par for the course.
//all these modern games violate every olympic precept they supposedly promote ;D

BREAKING NEWS: Chicago has been eliminated as a contender for the 2016 Summer Olympics.What was LA's chances?
HAHAHAHAHAH you stupid lil fuck.. now why don't u focus on Dubai.. ::)
Barry the magic negro gets bitch slapped by the IOC, one of the most corrupt organizations in the world.
Now he can go back to smoking menthols, ruining our economy and taking over health care.
How long until the 2012 elections?
Hahahaha, now Channel 7 News is interviewing that race baiter extortionist Jesse Jackhole.
I'm glad that shit won't be here. The only people who would profit from it are Mayor Daley's buddies and relatives.
Chicago needs to focus on the Hawks winning the Cup this year.

Dude, why are you costing Chicago the Olympics? First you ruined Ruhl, now Chicago.Yes. It's right by Michael Reese Hospital. About 2 miles from me. Totally connected to Mayor Daley. Chicago is probably the most CORRUPT of all Alpha Cities in the United States.
BTW, I forget the name, but did you know that a lot of the land that was supposed to go to the Olympics was owned by some dude who has a huge construction company? He was gonna sell the land to the city, then develop it.
lol you're so fuckin OWNED i live in Saskatoon fathead! :PAlex23= HARDCORE FUCKIN OWNED!
Haha. No shit. I'm a Canuckistani and even I know that Saskatoon is, like, the asshole of Canada.
GOOD!
The only exciting thing about Chicago right now is the HAWKS play today in their season opener.

I'm not surprized we lost the bid .... this is what happens when an ineligible, inexperienced funds raiser is appointed to the highest office in the land. I'm sorry Chicago didn't have better representatives. Dumped in the first round. Wow.Grant, Chi-town or Rio, the choice wasn't hard. The well known port city that had beautiful beaches, beautiful women and a well known sex tourism trade, vs well, Chicago is not really known for anything. No man, no even a living Michael Jackson could have convinced the IOC. Not even the Pope, especially since Brazil is the worlds largest Catholic country, and there is big Jesus staring down a the city.

Yes. It's right by Michael Reese Hospital. About 2 miles from me. Totally connected to Mayor Daley. Chicago is probably the most CORRUPT of all Alpha Cities in the United States.That is why chicago is called the "WINDY CITY" not cuz of the wind, but because of the 'SHADY, CORRUPT Buisness" that goes on here.
I blame myself for Chicago losing the Olympics. My antics here at Getbig is at fault. I bet 'the prez' of the NPC/IFBB or the 'texasbubba' made some calls to the IOC to punish me for my stance on the Jacobs/Savell saga and for my constant harsh criticism of the NPC and IFBB.

Yes. if obama would have won the olympics, they were already complaining about the massive cost to local economies from hosting the games.Bingo! ....and I did'nt even vote for him. He was catchin hell for parading all over the world bidding for the Chicago host position. No win situation.
Since he lost, they're gonna shit on him for that.
You knew they were gonna complain either way. it's their job.

Rob, I am not seeing any media evidence that they would have busted on Obama for getting Chicago elected? What are you guys talking about? This would have been a victory for Obama! That's why he went to pitch it in the first place?O'Reilly, Beck, Rush, etc all were saying that Obama's push for Chicago was all agenda based. He would "repay" his debt through the big building contracts needed for the host and $$ for the bigwigz in Chicago who were critical to his political rise.
Everyone (even the Repubs and Limbaugh) all know that the Games would have stimulated this economy and created jobs? There is not one example in the history of the Olympic games that did not profit that city 4 times over? Have you even seen the figures from the 1984 Games in LA? Or the profits China made in the last games?
The theories you come up with Rob .... just don't make sense. You speculate with no evidence.
blockhead stinks of right wing repubGood guess... with a little bit of Libertarian in me.

Regardless, who cares if Obama had a hidden agenda? I actually don't doubt it either! But no one can deny (Beck, Rush, you, etc) that Chicago only stood to benefit through new massive employment, new development and ultimately a BIG profit over these games!Left wing nutjobs say it had nothing to do with Obama, but everything to do with Bush...a little "payback" for a lot of the worlds discontent with the previous admin...
This would have been a huge moral victory for Obama. But he failed. Why did he fail? Answer me that?
Yeah, crazy when you think about it! Obama and his wife have really gone crazy with their political entourage .... it's reallly embarassing.Agreed...most great leaders lead by example
Can you imagine the respect Obama (and his wife) would have gained if they had CUT down on their political staff, chiefs, personal trainers, make-up-and-hair people, etc during this recession? Instead they increased their entourage to an all time high?
Hey dov... why do you think Obama crashed and burned in his bid for Chicago?

he already has my respect. anyway...his entourage is a lot cheaper and safer than bush's entourage searching for WMD when we already knew they were in Russia and China. Next?

Yeah......Obama's doing a great job.........just like I predicted ::)LOL. You'd be hard-pressed to predict a sunrise, Coach.
Dude, your waaay off on that figure....it was $1mil for each jet in fuel alone. But he shouldn't worry about that.........we're paying for it >:(
are you some how suggesting George W was better???? LOLOLOLOL dude spent more money than any other president EVER, so you have no case repubs, Obama is so conservative spender compared to Bush. Remember that one flight into baghdad airport in somewhat middle of the war Bush had, just for a quick hi to the troops, how much did we foot the bill on that secret military mission. Or how bout Bushs fighter flight onto the air craft carrier to announce the war was one and have some huge party, how much did it cost tax payers for that????? Just shut your mouth get in line repub, cause you are a dying pathetic breed no ones cares about anymore.

Will Obama be able to close the deal and bring the Olympics to Chicago?
