Man, if I had the bucks, I'd be buying a condo in Wash Park right now.

Not Another Username - Check out some of the links above, including Obama at a rally this summer for the 2016 games held at Daley Plaza. He's been pretty vocal in his support.

How do we know President-elect Obama is even for the Olympics in Chicago?

Obama helps Chicago's image and bid immensely. I read some other blog saying it "clinches" the Olympics for Chicago, but I don't think that's the case. I think Rio is going to be tough competition. At the end of the day it's Pele versus Obama...right now I would say Obama has the edge. I have a ton of stuff on www.sloopin.com about the Olympics. There is a plan we came up with for the CTA and Olympics, let me know what you think.
