Agreed. I think South America deserved it simply because they have never hosted an Olympics, but I don't really care that much about where it's hosted, as long as the USA wins lots of gold medals.

I personally think it was a mistake for Obama to fly over there and put in his two cents. Given how ridiculously negative and partisan politics are (especially lately), he probably should have just left this one alone. Although in a few days no one will care anyway.
