Rafer sez:
The IOC did Chicago a favor. Hopefully, Obama knew it and requested the favor. Olympic venues are only good for real estate developers, hotels, and similar 19th/20th century moneyed interests. The municipalities are net losers and the poor are huge net losers in the process. I really hope they pick Rio. I like Madrid too much.

Whatever, it was a shit-stupid move on Obama’s part to go there. It make it look like HE was rejected. Nice going.
