Actually, the USA got b i t c h slapped in front of the whole world and you patriots are too busy celebrating the supposed loss of face to your president to even notice or care about that.
"Divide and conquer" is the catch phrase of the day. You folks are so busy fighting among yourselves over your own personal pieces of the pie, no wonder it's difficult to muster the solidarity and political will to decisively fight and win a military conflict. I know what the knee jerk replies to this are going to be already so save them - or bring them - or whatever.
I don't see the big deal in any president, prime minister, first lady or other head of state joining in the pitch to have a major international event held in their home town. Having said that though, I'm with Jamo - I do plan a trip to the next Olympics and I'd much rather be distracted by the spectacle of beautiful, bethonged South American wimmins than the fat dudes moonwalking in Chicago. Arriba Arriba!
(There goes my "moral code".)
