Big Government:
Sen. Burris: Bush Cost Us The Olympics
Big Government Contributor Dana Loesch has this gem from Sen. Roland Burris (D-Blagojevich):Senator Rowland Burris of Illinois, the Senator who was appointed to fill President Barack Obama�s vacant Senate seat, blames George Bush for Chicago not getting the Olympics in 2016. Burris stated in an interview, shortly after the announcement, that the image of the U. S. has been so tarnished in the last 8 years that, even Barack Obama making an unprecedented pitch for the games could not overcome the hatred the world has for us as a result of George Bush.
Of course, it should be noted that Chicago was selected as a finalist in June, 2008. You know, when the guy the whole world is supposed to hate was President. Oh, those crafty foreigners. Consider this an Open Thread.
I guess that it is a lot easier to blame someone than to look at your own shortcomings...
