You're laboring under the false assumption that when conservatives cheered Chicago's loss of the Olympics they were doing so out of some deep seeded concern for the taxpayers of Chicago and the costs associated with the Olympics. In reality, they were very clearly cheering the loss of the Olympics because they saw it as a loss for the President. I doubt there are too many cons out there who would shed a tear if Chicago went broke holding the Olympics, they just didn't want Obama to win something.
