2016 Olympics in Chicago

Good Luck to the Chicago 2016 Olympic Committee!!!



As a former middle-long distance runner in high school and college I am extremely supportive of Chicago's effort to land the 2016 Olympic Games.



I wish the entire bid team the best success towards landing the Olympic Games in 2016 in Chicago. The entire metropolitan area would greatly benefit by having the Olympics here and the principles of the Olympic movement shared by all those that compete and attend. To those critics who feel the games might be a financial boondoggle, I say bull pockey. Chicagoans know how to turn a buck!! And my feeling is that the 2016 games, if hosted by Chicago, will be one of the most successful ever.



Good luck to President Obama and the lovely First Lady, Michelle Obama, in their presentations. And to Mayor Daley and his presentation team in their tremendous efforts to put Chicago on the international stage in a most positive way.
