re: #129 Charles

This is complete crap.

Agreed. The Brazillian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva did all he could do (including some political arm-twisting) to get other Nations to vote for the bid for Rio de Janeiro. If Obama had rolled over and sat the whole thing out, these twits would be complaining just as loud. And if by some crazy chance Obama had been successful, they would be complaining that the Olympics would just end up costing more taxpayer dollars than they would generate.

They have a tack for any way the wind blows.
