If Americans ever wondered why the rest of the world hates them, that guy is representative of the reason.

It took Calgary four tries to win the Olympics. So far as I am aware, this was Chicago's first. I suspect if Madrid aims for 2020, they will get it. Proximity to London 2012 probably didn't help their bid any.
