Who's idea was it to host the G20 in Pittsburgh?

Was it forced upon Pittsburgh or did Shitsburg volunteer to host G20? Did they not realize what a clusterfuck this would be? Just curious?

I heard O called up a few cities and offered it to them. Everyone else pretty much said, are you nuts, no way. Our two resident elected morons Dan and Luke couldn't say yes fast enough.

I blame it on the child in the mayor's office.

You are probably right and I would like to kick him in the head for saying yes.

I heard from a reputable source Pittsburgh was 9th on the list, and each city above refused to host the G-20. Guess which city was at the top? Chicago.

They moved it from NYC to highlight the cities 'recovering' economy... apparently industry has returned to the city. Or the G20 planning committee has a death wish, either or.
