A few days ago, President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey traveled to Denmark to try to lobby the city of Chicago for the 2016 Olympic games. They did this in a hope to bring the Olympics games to America over Tokyo, Japan; Madrid, Spain; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Unfortunately, Rio de Janeiro was chosen over Chicago, Toyko, and Madrid. Now, I'm all in favor for bringing the Olympics to the United States, but at a time when we don't have other major priorities to attend to. I know that the moral in America is down and bringing the Olympics to the United States would go up, but don't you think the moral of Americans are gonna go down when they find out that the Olympics aren't going to be in the US? On top of all this, we still are in a deep recession, unemployment is going up, banks and homes are closing, we are in a war, and the list goes on and on. We have far more things that we could be spending our time on other than the Olympics, and we must first bring ourselves to a stable condition before we can even think of doing something like the Olympics. Mr. President, please help us now, the Olympics can wait.
