This is one of the best columns I've read regarding the Obamas' Olympic failure.

You said it.
I love the last paragraph:

Obama didn’t get the Olympics. He did get a slap in the face. Maybe he will learn something about multilateral institutions. At the very least, he may want to consider finding some advisers who will tell him to stop doing such silly things.

He may want to find another line of work.
