I am not surprised that the International Olympic Committee rejected offer in Chicago for the Summer Games 2016th I'm not excited. Once upon a time the Olympic Games might have something to do with the development of international good feeling from the sport had. But we must fairly idealistic, yes, ignore the fact that they will prevail in an economically wasteful corporate spectacle of corruption and fraud policy has been transferred to. The CD contains: Hitler's Games in 1936, the terrorist attack on Israeli athletes in Munich in 1972, systematic use of steroids, the East German athletes during the 1970s and 1980s, and - just so you do not think I'm picking on Germany - Important boycott of the Montreal 1976 (by African countries protesting apartheid), Moscow 1980 (by the U.S. and the Western countries protesting against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan) and Los Angeles 1984 (retaliation for the communist country, 1980). In Beijing last year helped to wash the Olympics still an authoritarian regime, its global image. And I'm sure we all look forward to the 2014 Winter Games in Russia's Vladimir Putin.

The bid for the Olympics in Chicago was put to a great American city and probably the state and federal governments as well as monitor the ankle deep in building bicycle paths and the like, in exchange for the thrill of a bunch of steroid users are trying to floating world breaking records in obscure sports.
Some say that President Obama was ill advised to put his reputation and that of his country in danger, in an attempt to lose, especially when so many other important issues to worry. Actually, it was a mistake, win or lose.
