2016 Olympics...

Hey. Chicago is not hosting the 2016 Olympics. Am I disappointed? Of course I am but not heart-broken. I was shocked that Chicago came in fourth out of four cities. I am kinda glad we didn't get the games. It's like hosting a party. You have to spend a lot of money for a short period of time and you have to clean up the mess everyone else has made. And for what? Just for a little publicity. Many people visit Chicago every year from all over the world. Think about how expensive it'll be? How much construction and traffic there will be? Vancouver (2010) and London (2012) games are way over budget (by hundreds of millions)and city's taxpayers are on the hook. There is so much construction here it feels already like it never ends; that goes for traffic as well. Who'll end up picking up the tab? Chicago taxpayers of course. So, it's probably not such as loss. Kids should not cry about this. Chicago is a wonderful city and it will eventually host an Olympiad but I guess it wasn't their time. Besides Rio deserves it anyways, it looks like a beautiful place and they'll do a good job. Good luck to them.

Response: Obama

I had comments that I hate Obama or want to be a politician. Neither is the case. I don't hate Obama but I am criticizing his leadership and his presidency so far. There is plenty of time for him to improve. He is capable of doing more than what he has done. I don't want to be a politician because nobody's listens to me and I am not smart enough. This is the only way where I can vent on how I feel. It's just my opinion.

I will post something new sometime soon.
