Why is it that so many people are touting how Noble and Wonderful Mitt Romney was for taking

[ArnoldLayne]

over, saving and running the 1992 Salt Lake City Olympics? But when President Obama tried to get the Olympics for Chicago in 2016 people booed? Like Pres. Obama said and I remember like it was yesterday when he said "I mean who boos the Olympics..come on" and shrugged his shoulders looking puzzled. Then when the Olympic committee awarded the 2016 Summer Olympics to Rio de Janeiro they showed scenes of people at a CPAC event or some type of Conservative event or Convention I'm not quite sure. They were were so giddy, some in tears actually as I recall, High Fiving each other, remember that everyone? Reporters and people need to bring up that "sad little tid bit" from not that long ago.

1. We need to keep bringing that up, tell people you know or post on other boards also.

2. I had forgotten about that! Good 'tidbit". nt

3. The difference is plain and simple.

Romney is a white Republican guy running for president.
Obama is the black Democrat President.
Anything which could possibly help Obama win a 2nd term is bad.
#1 Goal: Make Obama a 1 term President.

[Xyzse]

7. Agreed

Sad that such is the case, but I can only agree.
Their number 1 priority is to make Obama a one term president. They have no other formed agenda other than that one.

14. It's so obvious that the Republicans would rather see our country struggle and die them improve

under a Democratic President. They are hyper ( party over country). It hurts all of us, except for the filthy rich.They can live anywhere.

4. I think it was 2002

[ArnoldLayne]

8. Yeah your right 2002. I actually did forget that important "tidbit." People on The Right said

Ahh!! we didn't need it, too expensive, waste of taxpayer money. How much taxpayer money did Mitt receive for the "02" Olympics..around $200,000,000

[Bluenorthwest]

5. Because they are Republicans.

6. Romney was steering contracts to his (retroactive) Bain companies

during those Olympics. Sharpton had the charts up there yesterday. Let's see how "noble" independents think that is.

9. Exactly how well did Romney run the Olympics..

.. since he had to ask for and accept a huge bailout from the federal government?

[ArnoldLayne]

11. That needs to brought up also.

[Nye Bevan]

10. He made some calls to his rich buddies and they kicked in some cash.

That's all.

12. I'm sure if we look at the Olympics we could find plenty of material to use against

Romney too.

[ArnoldLayne]

13. I bet the President's team is saving that until after the Olympics are over

or at least wait till Sept. or Oct. Sharp little cuts over and over will finish the Mittster.

15. I remember that, it was a tell tale of how much they hated Obama...so much hate
