Mayor Daley ... had dirt on Obama and held it over his head to get him to “get the Olympics”.
I think 0bamba was given (bad) info that the Chicago pick was a sure thing.
He went there knowing the world press would then focus on him.

I am sure Rio deserved to win, yet I am also convinced that much of the “No” vote on Chicago was pure anti-Americanism.
HOWEVER, with Chicago’s handgun ban, no shooting athlete would have been ALLOWED to compete, or even posess his handgun, in Chi-town! Maybe they would have done that in Michigan?
