Mitt Romney And The Olympic Bailout

After viewing this ad, I think it's safe to say that Romney's experience with the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games will be off the table for Mitt if he's our nominee.



While President of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Mitt Romney organized the most expensive games in US history.


The Salt Lake Games got more taxpayer money than any previous Olympics ($1.3 Billion).

That taxpayer money payed for much more than security...$30 Million for parking lots...$2 Million for sewer systems...$33,000 Olympic horse adoption program.

Romney even bragged about how much funding he got.

And while Mitt argues he saved the games....the real savior of the Salt Lake City Olympics? The American taxpayer.

$33,000 Olympic horse adoption program...really? For the Winter Olympics? Anybody ever see a horse in the Winter Olympics before? Horseback ski jumping? Biathlon on horsies?
