50% of chicagoans did not want the olympics because they were worried that they would have to flip the bill for it.
Besides that, don't you think he has enough on his plate with thei economy, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan to not be traveling to Denmark to promote the olympics with his wife, Oprah and the rest of the Chicago gang. No President in history has ever gotten involved with that decision, yet this one does, ridiculous. He deserves to be humiliated and embarassed.
Detroit would have served much better. They needed It and It would have done well there.
