Legit Question? Should Chicago win the Olympic Bid?

With the corruption charges today with the Governor and his Chief of Staff, should the City of Chicago, with the corruption reputation of the City and State, be rewarded with the Olympic Games?

Fond Ties Have Grown Between Chicago and Its Corruption Fighter -
The same year his office pursued corruption charges against associates of Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago, a Democrat like Mr. Blagojevich, ... New York Times
Highlights of the Blagojevich Corruption Charges - Wall Street Journal Blogs
Illinois has long legacy of public corruption - MSNBC

Now, the current governor of Illinois is under investigation and a previous one is already in prison.

Should Chicago be the 2016 host of the Olympic Games?

Comments of LeftyLarry on the Rivals Network from the Wisconsin Open Board...

Wisconsin is up on MSU 24-13 at the 9 minute mark of the 4th quater... though, while I was writing this blog post, MSU scored to make it UW 24 MSU 19 with about 8 minutes left to play in the fourth quarter... Go Badgers go!

Wisconsin LeftyLarry had the following Off Topic to say about Mr. Obama...
"Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago? Body count:

In the last six
months: 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago; 221 killed in
Iraq.

Chicago.... Who Runs it:
Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin
Rep: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Illinois Gov: Rod Blogojevich
Illinois House
leader Mike Madigan
Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley) .....our
leadership in Illinois.....all Democrats.

Thank you for the combat
zone in Chicago.

Of course, they're all blaming each other!
Can't
blame Republicans; they're aren't any!
State pension fund $44 Billion in
debt, worst in country.
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in
country.
(Look 'em up if you want)
Chicago school system rated one of
the worst in the country.

This is the political culture that Obama comes
from in Illinois. And he's
gonna 'fix' Washington politics for us?

Wake Up America!"

Don't forget to Vote on Election Day... In Iowa!
