"Some Chicago officials say anti-American resentment likely played a role in Chicago's Olympic bid dying in the first round Friday. President Obama could not undo in one year the resentment against America that President Bush and others built up for years, they said."
-- Chicago Sun-Times, Oct. 3, 2009
Reverend Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson inevitably chimed in: "The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us. But there was such a turnaround after last November. The world now feels better about America and about Americans. That's why I thought the president's going was the deal-maker."
Deal maker? Sorry, Rev, but believe it or not, the whole world doesn't play by Chicago Rules.

How soon some of us seem to forget.
