No Olympics for Chicago!

What a shocker! Chicago was eliminated from the running for the Summer 2016 Olympic Games in the FIRST round of voting.

Will this teach Mr. Obama that it takes more than good looks and a teleprompter to get things done on the international stage?

He failed miserably to convince the IOC to give the games to his "hometown". How much more difficult will it be for him to talk Iran and North Korea out of nuclear weapons? How much more difficult will it be for him to convince Russia to stay "in the box"? How much more difficult will it be for him to lead the free world?

Good luck, Mr. President! You have a tough row to hoe.

Now maybe he'll have time to read the recommendations of General McChrystal on Afghanistan....
