Quote:According to Rev. Jesse Jackson, it was because of the bad press of the Bush years.Put another way, you can take the history of 2000-2008 as Bush telling the world "blow me." Jesse's turn of phrase now makes sense. No word on spit or swallor, nor is it germane to the IOC's decision.
âThere must beâ resentment against America, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, near the stage where he had hoped to give a victory speech in Daley Plaza. âThe way we [refused to sign] the Kyoto Treaty, we mislead the world into Iraq. The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us.
I see this as an event that Rio won, not an event that Chicago lost. Come on, folks, the Olympics in Rio! This is PARTY PARTY PARTY for all involved.
Glass half empty, Jesse.
