I actually think they were a couple weeks later than normal during the Sydney Olympics. Maybe more toward the end of September as it was beginning to warm some. But either way, it was only a marginal change and I doubt it will happen in Rio.

 

Average daily temperatures in Rio are:

July 75/63

Oct 77/66

You're either making a real reach or a joke that isn't funny.

 

I suspect he is saying it in an ironic tone given Jimmy Carter's statements (now retracted and/or modified). At least that is how I took it right off the bat.

Actually I feel as if the Constitution was fairly clear in enumerating the role of the President. I'm not entirely certain that lobbying for the Olympics to be held in his hometown necessarily falls under the category of faithfully executing the laws of our nation or performing to the best of his ability to protect and defend the Constitution.

From what I understand, the other three Presidents were there as well. I'm no Brazilian constitutional scholar, but it looks like there was pretty much an expectation there.

 

I for one would like to believe that when a President is lobbying for the Olympics, taking a vacation, reading to school children, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc., he and his staff is still capable of the tiniest bit of multi-tasking.

The participants should be happy about this. Let's see Rio, or Chicago? Hmmm...

 

....shoulda picked Chicago.
