Olympic Committee follows Obama's words

Just one comment on the IOC appointment of Rio De Janeiro as the host city for 2016 Olympic games. Remember Joe the Plumber from the 2008 presidential campaign? Mr. Obama told Joe he "wanted to spread the wealth." The IOC decided to do just that and awarded Rio the 2016 Olympic games. As Brazil's president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva pointed out the Olympics have been held in North America, Europe and Asia, never in a tropical country. Kudos to the IOC!! Way to go, Rio!!
