Conservatives are currently gathered in Virginia for the American for Prosperity's Defending the American Dream Summit<http://www.americansforprosperity.org/092509-health-care-energy-debates-bring-concerned-citizens-defending-american-dream-summit-oct-2-3>, which features speakers such as radio host Hugh Hewitt and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Today when the IOC announced that the United States was eliminated from the running to host the 2016 Olympics, a room of conference attendees immediately laughed and applauded<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/02/conservatives-revel-in-ob_n_307794.html>. Watch it:
