Should Obama Lobby for the Olympics?


President Obama will travel to Denmark this week to bolster Chicago's bid to host to the 2016 Summer Olympics. This is the first time a U.S. president has played such a direct role in lobbying for the event – and Obama is making the sales trip even as he faces another crisis, this time the growing nuclear threat of Iran. Should the president take on this role?



Thank you for voting!




Yes, the Olympics are the world's premier sporting event and our president should help bring them here. 9% (3,234 votes)


Yes, but I just think sending his wife and a senior adviser would also be okay. 5% (2,040 votes)


No. With Iran, Afghanistan, health care and the economy already on his plate, he doesn't need to get involved in Chicago’s Olympics bid. 85% (31,620 votes)


I'm not sure. 1% (200 votes)


Total Votes: 37,094

To offer them a U.S. Tax-Payer funded $50 Million Dollar Olympic grant to study the correlation between National lobbying and Olympic site location selection. (to be administrated by the Olympic site selection committee)

Shouldn't that be the 2016 Olympics or am I a millennium late?
