The cost associated with an Olympic Games is atrocious and we can NOT afford to drag this country down further. If the Chief Executive truly wanted the country to host the games in 2016 he should have made this part of his platform last year. His last minute run to the committee seems an insult to that august body and they knew it was simply another attempt to refocus the world on the man AND his spouse who are too egocentric for many Americans. Chicago is spared the embarrassment of showing its seamier side to the world and this can serve as an opportunity to pull the people together into a clean up campaign to stop the murder of innocent honor students and the rest of the ugly politics that go on in that city. It has been rather a soap opera to watch and it needs to stop, NOW!
