On a non partisan front, Chicago was a lousy choice imo to choose to stage an Olmypics. Only happened because of the Obama’s. I’m not even certain New York City would be a good choice. Seems it would be better to choice a host city that has a good sized population but isn’t as congested. Wide open spaces preferable. LA seemed to be a good site. Texas would have made sense but they wouldn’t dare choose the state of G.W.B.
I wonder what Rio will do about its eyesore teeming slums by 2016?
