Its not only Burris blaming Bush for Obama’s epic Olympic failure anymore

Chime in some more lowlifes from Chicago blaming Bush for Obama and Oprah’s epic 2016 Chicago Olympic failure. Yesterday its was Blago Senator Roland Burris. Now, you can add Jesse Jackson, State Rep. Susana Mendoza (D-Chicago), U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). According to the Chicago Sun Times, the whole reason for the epic failure is because  Obama could not undo in one year the resentment against America that President Bush and others built up for years.

Jesse Jackson

“There must be” resentment against America, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, near the stage where he had hoped to give a victory speech in Daley Center Plaza. “The way we [refused to sign] the Kyoto Treaty, we misled the world into Iraq. The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us. But there was such a turnaround after last November. The world now feels better about America and about Americans. That’s why I thought the president’s going was the deal-maker.”

“I feel in my gut that this vote today was political and mean-spirited,” she said.

“I travel a lot. … I thought we had really turned a corner with the election of President Obama. People are so much more welcoming of Americans now. But this isn’t the people of those countries. This is the leaders still living with outdated impressions of Americans.”

Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.)

said she was approached by a consul general at the plaza as they waited for word Friday. “He said … he was hearing that there wasn’t enough time for Barack Obama to dispel the old image. … But I don’t know if that’s it.”
