For the last few days we have been told that a direct appeal from Barack and Michele Obama was all that was needed to secure the Olympics for Chicago. After all, even though his domestic numbers are dropping, Obama is still the most popular man in the world. Instead, Chicago was the first city eliminated.
So what happened? There are two possibilities - either Obama isn't as popular as he thought or general world hated of the US is more deeply rooted than simply George W. Bush.
Either way, Obama's world view is naive. Not a good thing for the President of the United States and leader of the Free World.
Update: More here. It seems that Obama acted like an ugly American, showing up and expecting to get the Olympics for no other reason than his presence.
