Quite right, rat. After all, we've never spent any public money before on any previous bid to host the Olympics. And obviously this would have been Obama's gain because he owns so much stock in the USOC, right?

Not quite unequivocal proof, maybe someone can find something more compelling, but the Chicago package was submitted to the IOC on Feb 12, 2009. Now, if you want to think that Obama engineered that in his first 23 days, you must think he's a very effective and efficient person.
