Thank goodness! No Olympics for Chicago.

Rio Di Janeiro will be hosting the 2016 Olympic Games.
I am relieved that it won't be Chicago. I am amused that Chicago was the first city eliminated from the running. Perhaps the IOC (International Olympic Committee) saw some of what I saw?
That the US would attempt to woo the Olympics to her most corrupt, and most homicide-ridden city is nothing short of asinine. Should Obama and Daley have succeeded in the Chicago Olympic bid, I think that it would have been a dark shadow over the US for some time after. This is not the bit of America I want to spotlight to the rest of the world.
