What happened to Republican patriotism?

.
Rio de Janiero won the bid for the 2016 Olympic Games.  No surprise there.  Rio was the sentimental favorite from day one in that no South American country has ever hosted an Olympic games.  Chicago was eliminated in round one even after President Obama jetted off to Copenhagen to push for the games.  And now, the right is rejoicing.

Glenn Beck.
“Oh, it’s so sweet” that Chicago’s bid failed; “savor this moment.”

Rush Limbaugh.
For those of you on the other side of the aisle listening in who are upset that I sound gleeful — I am. I don’t deny it. I’m happy. Anything that gets in the way of Barack Obama accomplishing his domestic agenda is fine with me.

Lou Dobbs.
“On today’s broadcast, the IOC just says ‘no’ to Chicago! As the Drudge Report says ‘The Ego Has Landed.’ ”

RedState.
So Obama’s pimped us to every two bit thug and dictator in the world, made promises to half the Olympic committee, and they did not even kiss him.

Michele Malkin.
President Obama’s giddy ego flight has ended with melted wax and fallen wings. This is a big win and a massive relief for taxpayers. But Chicago cronies are not going to take this well. Gird your loins.”

Conservative commentator Bill Bennett certainly didn't endear himself to the residents of Chicago either.  During a recent appearance on CNN's "The Situation Room." Asked for his thoughts about President Obama going to Copenhagen to personally lobby for Chicago as the sight of the 2016 Olympics, Bennett said that he was actually rooting for Rio, Brazil:

"I'm actually for Rio. In Rio, it's beautiful women at the beach, and in Chicago, it's fat people eating."

This is the stuff the right hangs on to and takes joy in.  Anything that possibly casts the president in a negative light, whether or not it is detrimental to the nation, is good news for these people.

They get more disgusting by the day.
