You're sick. Really. The dancing in the streets by the right wing bastards is just plain sick.
Rejoicing at America being elimiated? Cripes. If that's not un-American, then the word shouldn't ever be uttered again by these sick fucks. Disgusting. Go ahead. Blow your joy over this out your collective asses, and keep kicking the crap out of the country while fellow Americans are down.
While I would have been happy for Chicago, I'm happy for Rio. It's about time that South America got an olympics, and Rio is a great party city. It's not all about America.

The right has, now and forever, given up the ability to use the "Patriotism" cudgel against anyone.

I am thrilled for Rio for all the reasons they brought forth to win the location - but I would have been thrilled for Chicago, as well. What I don't understand is the lack of understanding on the part of the Republicans that there will be a backlash to all of this hatred. Wrapping yourself in an American flag and then taking shots at Americans is gonna come back at ya!

I'm sure hearing the Chicago-bashing the idiots did didn't help boost Chicago in the eyes of the Olympic committee. Rio, and more generally Brazil, certainly did a total makeover and worked their asses off for this.
All Americans did was shoulder-shrug and root against it. No wonder we lost.
