Over the past few days there has been a good deal of heated discussion regarding the IOC’s choice of Rio for the 2016 Olympic Games over Chicago, the city which Obama lobbied for in person to the committee. So, the inevitable questions have been asked: Is Obama not able to close the deal? Is this more than just a bump in the road for a presidency dogged by uninformed but loud allegations.

Well, before laying the blame at Obama’s feet, please consider two things:

Rio
