in the first place, 45% of Chicagoans did not NOT want the games. that poll has got to be idiotic nonsense--either loaded questions or just not scientifically gathered.

secondly, chicago was ousted due to game theory 101. it was the choice of committee members relative to Rio, but they wanted to vote first for Madrid to honor Juan Samarich or vote first for Tokyo to express Asian solidarity or to commend Tokyo for their "greenness." They would get to Chicago in rounds 2 and 3.

and yet Obama spent a million dollars and went anyway. Just to expect to lose? Love the logic!
CNN's Tony Harris is so pumped-up as the Olympic Committee is about to announce their first cuts. This reminds me of his despairing reaction to the Cambridge, MA cop who "acted stupidly" announcing that he and his department would not apologize to Obama and their demanding Obama apologize. I will embed that clip below today's announcement.



Here's the same reaction by CNN's Tony Harris when the Cambridge, MA Police Dept. announced they would not apologize for "acting stupidly."
