Colbert on the people who didn't want the Olympics in Chicago

Who cares who is in power, Bush, Obama or Oprah, or wait, is it Dr. Phill. I live in the Chicago land area, where, by the way the sales tax is now 10%, yeahhh. come visti and we will charger you a happy tax on your hotel stay and other entertainment. What we really needed was the Olympics and the millions that would have cost the city, the whole world already knows where chicago is and that chicago is a great city. I'm so happy that we have city government that is so frugal and responsible with our tax money that we never hear about money issues. The mayor and his goons are so smart they should be running Microsoft, lol... or perhaps Apple. Yeah, their anticts would go over really well at the annual board meeting. Compared to running the city government there is no board to report to, just increse the sales tax if we came in over budget, you all laugh now, but it will be 17% sales tax before we know it... make it all stop and bring in competent people and stop the spending and be cleaver enough to reduce the sales tax to 5%, that would make you look like heros. But no, we cant do that, how can I hire my sister, my cousin and the rest of the family on a city salary if we reduce the money we take from the people of chicago... Wake up, Chicago has become a government run machine, the unions, public transportation and wellfare... reeks of socialism

You people turn everything into a political convo now. Obama can't even buy a sandwich without people going crazy over it...good or bad. We're all obsessed with him...left or right...for or against. I'm just happy Bush is gone.

Two points:

1) It's funny how the Democrats were all onboard with everything Bush was doing until it was time for his re-election... only then did they stray from lock step with Bush. Sometimes, even when Bush was a lame duck there were people rooting against America to get back at him. This is evident in the fact that Obama wouldn't even admit that the surge in Iraq was working... the same strategy he now wants to cut and paste into his Afghan problem.

2) Saying that because Democrats rooted against the country to get back at Bush we should now root against our country to get back at Obama is juvenile, petty, and just slightly retarded. He's our leader. Him going to Europe at the behest of his idiot staff and pleading wife, only to be humiliated when the bubble of his ego was burst on the world stage like this doesn't enhance America. It doesn't make it more likely for sane, moderate people to get what they want, what we need... all it does is further erode the notion of our proud nation, while forcing Democrats to push through legislation they might not have otherwise done, just to give Obama cover... cause now, more and more, he needs it... not because the moron chattering class can actually explain why he's dangerous, and he is, but because they're trying to distract us from the real conversation... and are doing it well.

In other words: Grow up.

They were rooting against Obama, not Chicago.

Dunno why lefties are so upset. They spent the past 8 years rooting against Bush and got mad when they were called "un-American" for it. Now they're all whining because righties are behaving exactly the same way they did. Give us a break.
