It was suggested that he send his wife instead. I think that'd be a better idea so Obama could stay here and deal with more important issues. Although having the Olympics in Chicago would be great for the economy, personally I think Brazil would be a much better location.
I dont really care where the olympics are held in terms of a "good" location or not, i am just always happy when they are held in the United States. And his wife would have been a better choice, not that she has much patriotism anyway.
