olympics

So Obama went to Copenhagen and tried to get Chicago the Olympics. He brought his wife and Oprah. Well Oprah brought herself. But Oprah? As far as I know. And I don't know I don't think Oprah is known all over the world or even outside of North America. Maybe England. I do not know if her show is on there or even Canada for that matter. But instead of this being us against them mentality. Chicago is not a city known for its niceness. First of all outside of Michael Jordon. No other Chicago athletes are know world wide. Cubs and White Sox. Cubs especially who cares. I don't. I am sure no fans from other countries are developing a love for the Cubbies. Well WGN is big. I do not if WGN is world wide. The bears. Football is an after thought in other countries. But what is Chicago famous for? The mob? The mob huh. Yes the mob. And we all know the cities history with the mob. So when people ask why not Chicago. I say Chicago. Hey. next lets try and get the Olympics in Compton, Watts, Oakland or the Bronx. It also does not help that the mayor is the son a famous corrupt Chicago mayor. That the former Illinois Governor is going on trial for corruption. Obama does not pull a lot of weight international yet. His presence alone does not get a win. Just ask the health care gurus.
