ripped the GOP a new one for their gleeful celebrations in the wake of Chicago not getting the 2016 games.
(CNN) - Whenever President Obama has traveled overseas and offered pointed and direct assessments of the United States, some of them critical, Republicans have ripped him for criticizing America, saying a president should always defend the United States.
So I want to hear the explanation by these so-called patriots of their giddy behavior over the United States losing the 2016 Olympic Games.
Yes, the United States. The bid that was rejected Friday by the International Olympic Committee was not a Chicago, Illinois, bid. It was the official bid submitted by the United States Olympic Committee and was representative of the nation. Tokyo's bid was that of Japan; Madrid's was that of Spain; and Rio de Janeiro's was that of Brazil.
I agree with all of it. The greedy pigs of the GOP are celebrating the fact that over a quarter million new jobs would've been created or the money that would've come to the upper midwest are now not going to happen.
