None of Obama's charm or speaking skills persuaded the Olympic Committee to give Chicago the 2012 prize. But maybe this is a good thing. The sooner it occurs to our president that he cannot talk anybody into anything, the sooner the situation with Ahamadinnejad might sink in. Maybe, just maybe, this maniac from Iran is going to build and fire missiles no matter how much the American president tells him about "change he can believe in."
Then again, maybe Obama will learn absolutely nothing. Senator Rowland Burris of Illinois wasted no time in blaming the rejection from Denmark on (you guessed it) George W. Bush.
