Chicago Olympics will be Lauded as an Obama benefit

Tie between Obama indictments and Chicago 2016 Olympics Bid discussed how all politics is local. Chicago will theoretically be notified if it has [or has not] won the bid to be the site of the 2016 Olympics. The strong arming is happening now. Nopherhole basically stated that GM’s CEO was being fired by Obama’s Administration, or, at least, did not dispel the wording the media used. A large convening of some 1500 representatives of Olympic countries was coincidentally meeting in Denver. Following within hours of the end of this conference, the IOC was scheduled for site visit to the Chicago prospective Olympic site.

So get this, Administration fires GM CEO, with large business holdings and related suppliers in dozens of these countries. Obama takes credit at least. At least one member of the Administration has made money from the IOC dealings with Chicago. Daley has spent “stimulus” money on repaving the Chicago streets at the site [with local opposition because other sites need it worse.] The 1500 Olympic reps are meeting simultaneously in Denver. Then the IOC visits Chicago site.

Back to the Daley repaving. The local nay-sayers point to the paving as just the first of many repaving jobs using stimulus funds.

Nopherhole is 75% sure that the site of the Olympics will be completely bulldozed and reshaped, including rerouting of all infrastructure – including new streets.

It is a common joke in electric utilities [as sort of a gallows humor] that new utilities requiring cuts in pavement are typically done right after the street has been repaved.

Get it? It’s like putting in a new garden with dozens of flowers, bushes and trees, then digging a hole in the middle for a basketball goal, pouring contract and trampling all the garden.
