I'm going to visit the US in a few weeks myself for the first time and I'm really looking forward to it. My boss told me though that there are two lines at the airport after you arrive in the US: one for Americans, the other for assholes in the sense of them being subjected to all kinds of trouble (he was half serious, half joking I assume).

Besides that, personally, but maybe that's just me, it strikes me as somehow condescending seeing all these attempts to find this or that explanation why Chicago didn't get the Olympics. As if it's some kind of mystery why any city would be preferred over an American city. I see it more as a decision for Rio or the country/continent than a concerted decision against the US.
