Anyone that wants to know what Chicago is really about needs to take a look at that video and see what happened to that honors student.

Shame on Daley and the rest for wanting the Olympics to be in Chicago.

Michelle Obama gave a speech yesterday in Copenhagen that said "as much of a sacrifice for her, Oprah, and the Pres to be here".....what sacrifice! Riding on Air Force One, having 20 aides at your beckon call, wining and dining day and night. Where is the sacrfice again? She also says we need to do it for the children of Chicago because one of them could be the next David Robinson, Barack Obama, Nadia Comaneci or Oprah Winfrey. Notice only 2 athletes in that group and neither would be in the top 20 athletes if you asked children who they wanted to be like. What event would Fatprah Winfrey compete in anyway? I guess mentioning Pres Hussein is another way of indoctinating the world to The Chosen One. I wonder how many of those kids in the video of the beating of a Chicago high school student will be purchasing tickets and attending the games let alone, say to themselves, "wow, I need to get my life together, get an education, get a great job so I can help people who are in a similar situation that I was once in and I will owe it all to the Olympics".

Its all about putting money in their pockets,and helping friends get richer, the poor stay poor and the rich get richer off the working MAN!Michelle Obama is not only a discrase to the city of Chicago but to the whole Nation.Her and her husband sacrafice so much at the expense of you and me.These to are a joke and they are making the city of Chicago a laughing stock I am ashamed to say that they are even from this city.Its all about me me me when it comes to these two and it is becoming sickening.Forget about what the people want this is the Barrock and Michelle Obama Show it's all about them and their wants.It is you, me, and this country that will suffer so they can get their wants.

Obama and his group want to make Chicago appear to be a "safe" place for the Olympics; however, as everyone in America knows, Chicago is one of the most dangerous cities in America. There are muggings, robberies and killings every day. What a shame that the Obama group feels they, through their intimidation tactics, can force the Olympic Committee to award the Olympics to Chicago. They obviously do not care for the safety of people who would travel from all over the world to go to the olympics, otherwise they would tell the visitors of the dangers that would await them. The corruption in Chicago is incredible, as Michelle, Valarie Jarrett, Opra and others would admit if they wanted to be honest.

I live in Chicago, on the north side- we haven't even gotten our pot holes filled yet, and then there are the sink holes-two that have not been repaired for over two years and you want to know about the crime rate? We have been 1500 police officers short for the past 3 years-Gee do you wonder why the crime is bad. Even the GRAS areas have problems now because our police have been moved to so called Hot Spots. And taking the train today to down town Chicago, at 3 PM it was standing room only, about 20 of us-how in the H are we going to entertain millions more?

Chicago rejected in first round of voting! Looks like the rest of the world is smart enough not to fall for Pres Hussein and Oprah's antics. How long will it take for people to blame Bush or call the IOC racists for thier vote.

That just goes to show to EVERYONE that OPRAH WINFREY had a hand in Barack's election. Have people forgotten that they were already partying at Grant Park? They tried to party again at Daley plaza before the voting took place and this time it didn't work; Oprah couldn't buy the IOC.

They wonder what they could've done better? NOTHING! They got canned because they know how corrupt it is in Chicago and didn't want to expose others to that city.

I get tired of hearing how nice it is there when they know that's far from the truth. Don't paint a nice scene of the lakefront when people are killing each other.

Is Barack embarrassed that his words didn't impress anyone? Has he finally gotten a reality check? I hope so because he's not God!

Maybe now he can get to work on campain promises that we are still waiting on. It is a shame that our general had to go to copehagen just to get 25min of Mr.Obama's time so our troops that are be killed daily might get some support from the Holy One.

Chicago will need another "payback attempt" by the Obama Campaign. Watch what happens.......

Look at the money this cost the U.S. taxpayers. I'm sick of the Obama attitude in D.C. "Have planes will travel." Both planes should be grounded!

Even though Obama and Michelle failed miserably in Copenhagen the trip wasn't a total waste.

They still got a great little free vacation in Denmark during the Fall which is a very nice time to visit there.

CNN reported that Michelle "stole the show."

But if so she failed to smuggle it out of the country and back to Chicago because the 2016 Olympics will be held in Rio instead.
