  • Obama’s Olympic Blunder

    First off, a big congratulations to Brazil. They are a rising nation—so good for them. That said, the Olympic rejection of Chicago in Copenhagen is deeply troubling to me. When a president acts on a last minute whim, as Obama did, there are huge international consequences.
