Conservative media figures have celebrated the International Olympic Committee's elimination of Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics and used the event to bash President Obama, who flew to Copenhagen to lobby IOC members on behalf of Chicago's bid. For instance, Glenn Beck called the news that Chicago's bid had failed "so sweet," Rush Limbaugh declared himself "happy" and "gleeful" with the results, and Matt Drudge proclaimed: "World rejects Obama."

They and their followers are traitors. I have no doubt that they would cheer a takeover of the United States by anyone, as long as Obama was forced from office. It's disgraceful.

I thought GWB was a miserable excuse for a president. But I would have defended his sorry ass against all comers if it appeared that the Constitution or office of the President were being threatened by forces either inside or outside the country.

Obama did NOT have to go. He has more pressing issues to be concerned about.

Hey Obama wants to make us pay for his cap and trade bill to help fight global warming. Jet Fuel causes Global warming does it not? hmmmmm

You care about helping the poor right? How many poor could we have helped with the money we saved from Obama NOT going


These people really don't get how much the upper Midwest could have used the Olympics. It was a long shot from the beginning and Obama debated going for quite some time (knowing the flack he'd take for it), but to not even try and do something to help bolster the most ailing region of the country would have been far worse than spending 17 hours away (during which time he actually kept working on other things - imagine that, a president multi-tasking).

Come on folks. Enough of this. Be outraged at important stuff, not suddenly pretending to care about the environment and the poor just because it's politically opportunitistic.

They are Entertainers, a bigtime Liberal paid Limburger $40 million to destroy the Republican Party and he did what he is paid for.
As for the Fox Network they are Entertainment progrming like Wrestling, odds are that if you believe one is real, you believe the other. Murdoch was one of hillary's biggest contributors

Can you point to an example of anything rivaling the comments of Beck and Limbaugh while Bush was president?

Never mind. Not only can you not do it, you never post anything of substance to back up your rantings. Never. Ever.

Not wanting the Olympics in the United States is not treason. The assertion is laughable.

That is one sickening video. You can count on them to celebrate any misfortune against the US. Even a terrorist attack would be celebrated because it would make Obama look bad.
