And I ask you again, have you ever visited Chicago?

I thought we wanted people to enjoy themselves when they come to America for the Olympics, Chicago would not be a wise choice.

Far to many other towns that would be better and not scam people out of there money like the Chicago Obama connections would.
*L* So now O'Hare is Chicago? Give me a break. You've obviously never spent any time in Chicago, so why comment on what you know nothing about.

You really don't realize how laughable your position is, do you?

It's like saying "OMG, they want to hold a sporting event in Denver! Do you realize how high the background radiation is? It's terribly unsafe! People get cancer there!"

Yes, Denver has higher background radiation, and it causes health effects. But the difference is in the noise, almost.

The crime in Chicago might be higher than in some other large cities in the US, but it's not appreciably different than other cities, and it's much, much better than other cities on the short list.

Seriously. Give it up. Don't keep defending your silly position.

I'm not the one bitching about it being in Chicago, I think it is fine there.
