This is, of course, pure nonsense.
But my guess is you and everyone else who will try to score that point already know that.
If it's a slap at anything, it's at the way the country has been arrogantly handled since 2000. I'm not sure that the IOC not giving the U.S. the Olympics was predicated on the last 8 months, or Obama.
Something tells me that it's not the last eight months of American leadership that made Chicago lose. To be perfectly intellectually honest (something you may want to try sometime in situations like this), something tells me it has nothing at all to do with the last President either, even if that is an infinitely more likely scenario if we're inclined to place blame on that office.
The fact that it was going to be a gigantic clusterf*ck of massive proportions from a logistical perspective is probably the "prohibitive" frontrunner for real reason why Chicago didn't get it.
But why worry about things like that when a pathetic attempt at scoring cheap political points is just so much fun?! I understand the impulse, I really do.
