Faster Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Bezzi, mon ami, u r so P.S. Just checked...Spain is NOT in the G20!! Where are those boastful Spaniards calling Spain's economy is #10 or 11? Maybe it's actually #21 or #22!! Well Vietnam isn't in there either, Nigeria and Egypt aren't as well. Spain is represented by the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Well Vietnam isn't in there either, Nigeria and Egypt aren't as well. Spain is represented by the EU. Well, being part of a larger body still ISN'T the same as having your own country's plate on the table. And I never even considered the other 3 countries you mentioned as being in the top 20.

Kngkyle Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Pat Ryan, the Chicago 2016 CEO, has apparently been in Europe all this week meeting with IOC members. Mayor Daley is on his way to Copenhagen now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I think it makes sense for representatives of the various bids to get in as much lobbying as they can -- particularly since the IOC session itself will not allow many opportunities. I does surprise me a little that Lula would travel so far in advance. However, I think this is more likely to help Rio than to hurt them. It's just amazing to me that a head of state is able to spare that much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Maybe for Lula Rio is a real issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 It would appear that he sees it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 It can be some strategy in opposing the Obama quick trip... Showing IOC he, Lula, is full committed with Olympic moviment and Rio olympic bid... I don't know if this can work... but it's a bet made by Lula...

He may be a bit bland when responding to reporters about the G20 summit, but he's not boring at all when he's campaigning. Chicago 2016 would be a campaign. Plus, the buzz alone is enough to inject excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Awesome pic! I noticed the Sears Tower and 311 S Wacker were blue the other night, but now I think they're back to white (lights). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 So what do you suggest? They take a glider? I'm sure all the bid cities will charter planes to Copenhagen. It's so obvious how you are trying to turn even the smallest of details into a jab at Chicago. I can assure you I would criticise supporters of any city if they were to take a transatlantic flights for what I judge to be unimportant purposes. Unfortunately, sustainability and the concept of a greener way of life are in the bid books but still not in people's mind. Maybe we'll just have to wait for another meeting in Copenhagen. That's all I meant to say. No specific criticism on Chicago, it just happened that this report I quoted was about them. If those people flying to Denmark are going on business or anything like that, which was not in the text, I take my statements back and, please, do accept my apologies.
