The IOC has a history of thumbing its nose at the USA - no reason to think otherwise now ...

Clinton wanted the 2000 Olympics - Australia got them ...

Now that the USA has played a BIG hand in putting the world in a financial crisis - I think the IOC will give the finger to Obama ...

The IOC is as much a political body as a sports association - and I think they want to show Obama just how irrelevant the USA has become ...

And they have the perfect CYA justification for it - the Olympics have NEVER been in South America ...

Cynic in me says Ali Bama wouldn't be going if he didn't know the deal is done and he can look like a "glib-tongued persuader" that brought home the bacon.

Besides, the IOC doesn't want to be called racist.
