My sentiments exactly. Who cares about the olympics 7 years from now... its just that the French seemed so hardcore about getting it.

Since the french "lost" do we have to send troops to bail them out again?

The policticians in New York State, who didn't support it, gave up New York Cities chances. I was very glad that London got it, and not Paris. This is kind of a consulation prize for New York City.

It would be crazy around here with the Olympics. The Belmont stakes shut down our town.. I can only imagine what the Olympics would do

It has been proven, that the city that holds the olympics neverfully recovers the debt from it. After the costs of building a colesium, moving teams around, and other olympic type budgets, after tourism you will still owe more than 4 million before of the olympics.

Pfft 4 million is penuts on a national scale dude. It's like dropping a penny down the side of the sofa...

Considering that it's a city that pays for it, and not the nation, it's allot.
