A couple of days ago I predicted that Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics was going to be a lead-pipe cinch, opining that President Obama surely wouldn't risk his ego or the significance of his office on something as insignificant as a vote on who got to host the games. Turns out I was wrong. I will give credit to President Obama for trying, however poor his judgement may have been in doing so.
