Just remember that Rio beat out Chicago to host these Olympics thanks to Mac Daddy Obama thought he could persuade the committee to change.
Actually, I give Obama a thumbs up for the failure. I live in the Chicago suburbs, but I would not like having the congestion and the third worlders in the city. I would just pack up and head south for a month.
Actually, the ‘96 games here in ATL were the best 2-3 weeks of traffic ever. They scared so many people into leaving town or working from home that traffic was nonexistent. We’d routinely leave our suburban home an hour before the event, drive downtown at warp speed and into parking in 30 minutes, walk 15 minutes to the venue, and be in our seats in plenty of time.
