I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

It was hilarious checking out fox news making fun of Obama for going saying he would be wasting time instead of running the country. I guess they didn't remember that he has a fully functional office on Air Force 1 and working from there is not really different then the oval office.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.

Of course, when Obama said he would not go to Copenhagen because he had to stay focused on running the country, Fox trashed him for that, too.Originally posted by rah View PostApolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Hey even republicans can laugh at Fox when it's appropriate. (unfortunately it's appropriate way too often) But then I laugh at their liberal counterparts almost as oftenIt's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

You'd think Fox News would want the President distracted. I know I'm always happy when Congress goes on recess.John Brown did nothing wrong.Comment

All this really means is that the administration will have to find some other excuse to funnel pork $$ to the Chicago area.I'm consitently stupid- Japher

I think Chicago being knocked out first is a clear message of the boards Anti American feelings. Toyko had pretty much given up and was just going through the motions. For them to last past Chicago is a real clear message.
In a way, I'm glad Chicago didn't get it. Sure, it's a black eye for the city because they put so much into the bid. But, it would have made Chicago a target, would probably have cost the City tons of money it would never make up, and would have made it a real problem getting around during the games.
Congrats to who ever gets the bid, but Rio sure looks like a lock.Keep on Civin'

Local Indianapolis Star front page was talking about Chicago getting the bid under the headline, "What in it for Us?"
