You should be thankful - no country has made anything other than a loss
since the 1948 London event - that was marginally in the black. Now we've
got the damn thing back here in 2012.


LA made a profit off of the Olympics in '84

successful modern Olympics."

At the time, LA was held up as the model for all future Olympics.

It didn't work out that way because the Olympics is frequently used as a
vanity piece to to impress everyone with the hosting country's
affluence. The hosting country frequently has no intention of turning a
profit. I was in S. Korea before the 88 Olympics and they destroyed and
rebuilt entire city blocks as far as 100 miles away from Seoul, because
they wanted the neighborhoods to look modern for any visiting tourists
who wandered off the beaten track.

The Nobel Committee is part of the internatioal socialiast muslim
sympathetic movement that wants to emasculate USA and is rewarding BHO
for weakening the US in Iraq and apologizing for the USA around the
world.

A real president wouldn't fall for that.

I really think the Olympics should be in Athens *every* year, and
nowhere else. At least the Greeks might stand a chance of amortising
their costs on the 2004 event. :-)


Dumbass,

I told you a week ago that the '84 games were profitable.

Why do you persist in repeating wrong information? You need to be
reprogrammed.
