Personally I do not want the Olympics and Obama jumped on this band wagon way late in the game. He will have very little to do with it possitive or negative. This is all Daley's party and Daley cronies stand to make a fortune. We're coming off Daley selling the city's parking meter business to a private company at a bargain price that now the alderman are trying to renig on. They are afforded virtually the same police powers as the city sans the guns. His nephew is currently under Federal Investigation for handling the city's pension funds. Minority contracts have gone to mobsters and Clinton supporters. Gotta think there is a Daley somewhere taking a course on 'how to insure the Olympics' and a whole slew of union carpenters, electricians and iron workers ready to come out of retirement to pad the payroll and give guidance and support to the ones who will do the actual work. And by the way Obama and Daley were never very close unless one needed something from the other.
