Quote of The Week (American Edition)
[S]ome people feel it was sort of weird for Barack Obama to throw himself into the fight with such ardor. They may have a point. But if the president is going to take a flier on an improbable and possibly delusional quest, I would prefer that it involve lobbying the Olympic committee rather than, say, invading a country.
-Gail Collins, on President Obama’s failure to persuade the International Olympic Commitee to allow Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics
