The last few days of cruising around the blog world, I have found many sites commenting on Chicago losing the Olympic bidWhat did Obie think he was going to do ? Scare them into voting for the U.S. ?
I read a few sites that blamed the loss on Bush, claiming that other countries are bitter due to decisions made by the Bush administration.
Some of the best I read claim the judges were racist, stating that our country lost the bid because we have a black president
In my opinion, why did we need to waste the money for Obie to fly over there for a few hours ?
Are the Olympic games more important than our own problems here at home ?
Its not like he is a workaholic or something, he has plenty of time off.
Here I am, working on getting my bills paid, and working on my family budget, and just hours away our elected representatives are pushing programs to spend more money we do not have.
The plane trip, the security, and the accommodations that cost us all could have been spent somewhere else.
How much longer until people see this ?
I found this site that has a real time debt clock

Take a minute and have a look.
I wonder what Obie's shirt cost us ?
