Chicago is one of the four finalists to host the 2016 Olympics. I couldn't be more cranky.
First, our taxes are high enough! This will just lead to more and more as the city will have to piss away money on all kinds of spending initiatives. And do the Olympics ever make money? No, they always cost far more than is projected and lose money, unless Mayor Daley hires Mitt Romney to run them. As if he would ever hire an extremely competent Republican with a great track record when he could instead hire one of political machine cronies to screw it up.
Second, if I am still living anywhere near the city, I don't want thousands of stupid foreigners running around. They are just going to clog everything up with their odd customs and practices.
Third, what's the point, other than Daley's giant ego? We already have a good city, and we don't need to host the Olympics to prove it. If people around the world don't think much of us, who cares? They are the ones living in third-world stinkholes.

Yes, Romney should run them here! I am 100% on the other end of this one. I like the Olympics. I would love to have them here.
One of Chicago's selling points for hosting the Olympics is that they would use existing infrastructure such as United Center and Soldier Field for events instead of building a bunch of new crap that never gets used again ala China this year.
I think it would be cool if Chicago got them, by the way.
