Yup, anything that is wrong is all Bush's fault. And anything that was
wrong during his admin was all Clinton's fault. I think that Bush Sr. and
Clinton were about the only two that didn't spend their whole admin blaming
the prior presidents.
Axelrod and Emanuel make Rove look like an amateur!
As to the Olympics, I think a few American sites might had called it the
odds on favorite but the majority, back in August and early September were
saying "Not many of the scenarios favor Chicago, though. There are only two
American members of the IOC - the same amount Morocco has - and the U.S.
doesn't have the built-in voting blocs enjoyed by the other cities." And,
"Rio has emerged as the most talked about city in recent weeks. It got high
marks for preparation, and the consensus is that the IOC would like to have
an Olympics in South America, which has never hosted one."

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we
are
to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and
servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." Theordore
Roosevelt, 1918.
