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

Chicago was the odds on favorite, Rio made a good play late with their
whole
"the olympics have never been to S. America before" Even though crime and
poverty are rampant in Rio, far worse than any of the competing cities,
they
got the nod. Foolish of Obama with his shaky standing right now risking his
image of "international favorite" pushing the chicago bid in person though.
Of
course the balloon floaters of his administration are actually blaming the
loss
on Bush, no joke. I thought the media was kidding with that lead in, but
no, they
actually are pushing that line.

And, of course they took into consideration that every single solitary
newspaper from million dollar corp to little piss ant weekly were running
stories about the honor student beat to death.
I think I'd file it under a big "DUH!"

Who are they kidding here? Spain had a chance with Barcelona a few
years back. Of course it is Rio.. Everyone wants to "go to" Rio.
It was folly to think that Chicago could pull it off.
