FACT CHECK: Romney’s Salt Lake Olympics: Taxpayers Built It

[Kurovski]

Mitt Romney’s Olympics claim ignores one key fact about the turnaround: he didn’t build it. After three days of attacking federal resources and assistance, the facts show that Romney received an unprecedented taxpayer bailout to help his effort—so much taxpayer funding that Sen. John McCain called it a “national disgrace.”

The Salt Lake Olympics Were “The Most Expensive Winter Games Ever” Costing $2 Billion With $1 Out Of Every $5 Funded By Taxpayers.

2. We'er still paying for

SLC Olympics. We all were hit with a extra tax in Uda to cover the crimes of the Olympic committee. Bush gave Willard a check for 1.5 billion to cover his ass for 9-11 f-up. All about image baby. All about Legacy.

4. Yep

I lost a lot of respect for Kristi Yamaguchi, when she did the spin for Mitt...making it sound like he did this by wearing his magic underwear!

Maybe if she had checked the facts...but I doubt it would have made a big difference with her!
