Question: When was the last time the Olympics came to the United States?
Answer: 2002, when the Winter Games were held in Salt Lake City.
Remember the Salt Lake Games? They were mired in bribery and scandal beginning in 1998, when it became apparent that those involved in getting an Olympic bid for Salt Lake City had been bribing the decision makers for the right to host the event.
The games went on in Salt Lake City, shadowed by some unpleasant clouds hanging overhead. Fast forward to 2009, and the President is now asking the IOC to trust the United States once again with the honor of hosting the games.
With the not-so-distant memories of Salt Lake City, is it wise ask the IOC to award the 2016 Summer Games to a city that is arguably the most corrupt in the nation. Former Governor Rod Blagojevich has been impeached and removed from office for trying to sell the senate seat that Obama gave up when he was promoted to the White House. His criminal trial will not be held until next year, but Christopher Kelly, a longtime political ally of Blago's has been sentenced to prison on federal corruption charges. Kelly committed suicide about two weeks ago.
Heavy questions loom over the heads of two Illinois members of the United States Congress. Roland Burris was appointed by Blago to fill Obama's vacant senate, after he allegedly had discussed a financial arrangement with Blago. Illinois Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. is also being investigated for his possible negotiations with Blago in filling Obama's seat.
Even if Obama had no involvement Blago and the Senate-appointment illegalities, he does have many ties other other shady Chicago political figures, including Tony Rezko and William Ayers.
Chicago, Olympics, and Obama. It does sound like a recipe for trouble.
o gosh this man is a tool of the worst kind..sick sick sick!
ReplyDeleteYou'd be so right if you was saying that Obama owes folks in Chicagoland...and he does, so you are.
