A Surprising Approval

I have found myself in surprising agreement with the President on the issue of the Olympics coming to Chicago. I also think it fantastic that he personally went to lobby for the games. Politically, I think it is a great tool to demonstrate unity by lobbying for what should be and (aside from the games in Beijing) normally is a unifying global experience.
I think Chicago is a great sports town that deserves a shot at hosting the most prolific international competition of the world. The rich sports history of Soldier Stadium and Wrigley Field will be the perfect fit for the Olympic games.
I also think that it will provide an economic stimulus to the city, and to the Midwest. I think the Midwest deserves a shot at hosting an international competition, and Chicago would not have to do a lot to make room for the Olympic games.
Anyway, that's all I got. I guess this is part pat-on-the-back for the President, half a show of support for the cause, but either way it is deserved. Stay posted for a bold prediction and this week's college football highlights.
