Mitt saved SLC. He has to be supportive.
Exactly. I like Mitt for the most part, and he did a great job pulling the SLC Olympics together. But personally, I think the Olympics have turned into a pile of rotten commercial-political garbage, and that the federal government should have nothing whatsoever to do with the Olympics. All over the world, including in the US, the Olympics have become an opportunity for corrupt politicians to trample citizens’ basic rights. And when the US participates in the Olympics in Communist or other totalitarian nations, we ending up aiding and abetting those governments’ public relations prorrams, and pushing our athletes (often young and naive) into participating in this deceptive showcasing of totalitarian governments.
