I’m happy for Rio - world’s largest economy never to host an Olympics, games never held in South America, this could be a real boost to them, etc., etc. - but seriously annoyed with the IOC. The US President, whatever anyone personally may think of him, is a very important man on the world stage. If he shows up at US taxpayers’ expense to promote his country for the Olympics (whether he should or not), don’t insult him and us by knocking Chicago out in the first round.
