Obama and his Chicago cronies pulled out all the stops, including going all the way to Denmark to lobby for Chicago. They they turned him down flat. See this link:

The president of the U.S. has little/if any power to affect a decision like this. To think he does is one reason we are in our current predicament in this country.

Other than a symbolic gesture to show our displeasure, which I agree does have some merit, signing this petition will have almost no effect. Surely the higher-ups with wrestling can find a web-site or real petition that the actual decision makers have to pay attention to. Surely we can do better than get a reference to the "complaint box" at the White House.


So rather than do or at least attempt something significant and meaningful, you'd rather use this unfortunate situation to tear down the sitting president yet again.

It's pretty much beyond pathetic.

Here is an idea for you. Perhaps the people who have signed these petitions or are going to sign them actually believe they will have some impact no matter how small that might be and thus they have done at least something, whereas you in your sadly partisan hackery have created an account on this website and in 13 posts have managed to add NOTHING to any discussion that you have managed to post in.

Either do something constructive or shut up.
