Rio Olympics
Congratulations to Rio and Brazil to winning the right to host the first Olympic Games held in South America. But be careful with your spending, holding Olympic events is a costly endeavor.
In the US, there has been much discussion of this round of Olympic bids and if it reflects poorly on President Obama. I think the BBC's Mark Mardell has a very clear view of it.
This, I think, is a particularly astute observation:
You could argue the president has a history of relying too much on his own personal intervention to solve problems, rather than using it as the final touch on top of a detailed political strategy.
