yikes! i did not see that coming. i didn't think he would fly over there (at over 1.5 million dollars for the fuel alone) unless he had been given some assurance that chicago was going to get the olympics. that is a lot of negative publicity and i bet somebody gets fired.....
Well the President does get his advice from his trusted czars...ummm I mean "advisors".

Make that twelve and counting....
Mayday, Mayday, need a clean-up in aisle five.....
I guess Obama statement "Chicago is a place where we strive to celebrate what makes us different, just as we celebrate what we have in common," Obama said. Watch Obama makes his pitch to IOC", wasn't liked too much...
