This is probably not much of diary, but I am excited for the Olympics to be in Rio. It is multi-cultural, diverse, and will make for an exciting olympics.
For those Republicans and Right Wingers who use this as yet another opportunity to mock, and ridicule our President...
I have two thoughts. First Pres. Obama will NEVER play it safe for political reasons. He is that rare individual that will take chances, use opportunities and most important not be afraid to do what is right because IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I know this is hard for people to understand but, that is what will make him one of our greatest leaders.
Second, to those Republicans who use this as an opportunity to mock the President have you ever thought that maybe it was not handed to American because you people have made us look like a bunch of red-neck, hillbilly, hate spreaders.
I applaud Pres. Obama for once again taking a chance to make the case for Chicago.
