White House lobbies for Olympics in Chicago

More Chicago style politics from the Chosen One:

Quote:

The Obama White House is playing an unprecedented role in the bid to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago, with top adviser Valerie Jarrett spearheading an effort that draws on the international symbolism of his presidency.

Any president would have an interest in helping an American city win an Olympic bid. But none has been as closely associated with an Olympic proposal as Obama, and the emerging effort by the White House is unusually pointed in its attempt to wrap the campaign around the president and his appealing image abroad — a strategy veteran Olympics watchers say is paying dividends and could result in an enormous hometown farewell party if Obama wins a second term.

With the murder rate sky-high in that socialist city, who in the world would feel safe attending any event there?

doesn't America always try to play up its best shot at landing the Olympics? Chicago was the potential destination before Obama took office.
