"I don't remember them, I don't remember them criticizing President Bush when he went to China to watch the games and cheer America on.,'' Emanuel said. "Here we're going to go to Denmark to help secure the games for here in the U.S.... They shouldn't try to make politics of this. I think they should take some pride in the US's win, and you know we'll make sure they get some good seats once Chicago does host the games.''

What if Obama fails?

"First of all that's not how he views it... It would be good for the US, for America to host the world here in the US with a great city, given Chicago's diversity and economic capacity to host those games and make it a world class event.''

1. Shouldn't the response have been, "They don't want the Olympics in the United States. Well, we

will make sure theyWON'T get any of the good reserved seats. They can buy tickets like other Americans."?

Always making up to the reich wingers. Even on trivial shit like this.
