Olympic move shows Obama's Chicago side

I am a supporter of President Obama in most of his programs, but I am very disappointed by his decision to go to Copenhagen for the International Olympic Committee's vote on the city to be chosen for the 2016 Olympic Games.

Mayor Daley and his people can't be blamed. They have spent a lifetime believing in and peacticing clout over merit, but I expected better from my president.

I hope it's not a variation of the old saw that you can take the boy out of Chicago but you can't take Chicago out of the boy.
