In addition, senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett taped a greeting to be played for Olympic officials. Before joining the Obama administration, Jarrett was tapped by Mayor Daley to help lead the committee seeking the 2016 Games for Chicago. The new sports office -- and Jarrett's message -- is intended to send the message to Olympic officials that Chicago's bid has the highest possible level of White House support.



I presume this will cost some so what are we cutting to pay for it or does the 'pay as we go' only include congress?

The biggest hurdle the bid faces is that NO monies have been guranteed at the State or Federal level. All are private donations, etc...Isn't that a good thing? The other three bids all feature guaranteed Dollars from the Countries, Cities, etc.
