Something else to oppose?

So, early last week President Obama wholeheartedly endorsed Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. I've been somewhat busy during this week which has prevented me from keeping up with the news as my usual schedule allows, which has me curious as to whether Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Fox News, and the Republican party in general, has come out against this crazy idea yet.

After all, Chicago is "The Toddlin' Town" which can only mean that it embraces shameful imbibing of alcoholic drinks - something that is likely to upset the Religious Right. Why the Gospel claims Jesus ever turned water into wine has always been a mystery to them. It is also the adopted home of Mr. Obama who, according to the "Birthers" was actually born in Kenya, regardless of that inconvenient birth certificate and the two announcements that appeared in the Hawaiian newspapers some 48 years ago. It is where he worked as a (Gasp - Dare I say it) Community Organizer - something akin to being a card-carrying COMMUNIST - or, maybe even a Fascist!

There are so many other reasons to oppose this far-fetched idea. It's not known for Nascar events. It's not a real American town - like Midland-Odessa, or Kennebunkport. For Gawd's Sake, it's in Illinois - which has voted for Democrats more often than not. Chicago is the town that evangelist Billy Sunday could not shut down. It is a city that has elected Mayors named Richard Daley - often. It elected the first woman mayor; the first African-American mayor.

The city, according to the latest census bureau was also one of the most racially diverse too, with 37% Caucasian and 35% African-American among it's populace. We can't be showing that kind of split to the World. We need to show them something more American, like the Republican Party did at their 2008 convention.

So, today I'll have to go check and see if the Right-wing pundits have attacked Obama for his crazy endorsement of Chicago as host for the 2016 Olympics. It's another one of his Socialist ideas. Or was that Fascist? I don't know. It's all the same isn't it? He's just ruining this country with all these crazy ideas. I want my constitution back.
