But to read the blogs, we&#8217;ve lost everything. That pony-tailed bike riding guy says that this is proof that conservatives want America to fail. Huh? We&#8217;ve never lost a bid for the Olympics before?

Imagine that; all of the time he spent on getting the Olympics brought to Chicago &#8211; seven years from now (apparently three years after Obama will be out office if he keeps acting like this) &#8211; he spent twenty five minutes with the guy fighting his war for him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vetvoice.com\/showDiary.do?diaryId=3217\">dicksmith<\/a> says that&#8217;s fine;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When I was a buck sergeant, I didn&#8217;t meet regularly with my Battalion Commander to brief him on my mission.
