HughHewitt.com Blog : Hugh Hewitt : Romney, The 2002 Olympic Games, and Team Obama's Decision To Focus On Them: "The 2002 Games were close to cancelation when Romney arrived to take control of them. They turned out to be a wonderful display of American competence and enthusiasm, and coming just a few months after 9/11, proved a much-appreciated rallying point for the country.

Team Obama has thus arranged for this story line to appear just as the London Games in all their complexity roll out, a three week pageant that will underscore that
Romney's tenure in Utah oversaw the assembling of 2000 athletes and their families
from 70 countries to participate in 77 sports spread over 20 venues, a venture "run"
by an international committee, a national committee from every participating
country, a supervising board for every sport, as well as the federal, state and
local authorities, scrutinized by tens of thousands of  media as well as an
audience of a billion people and which was primarily paid for by private sector sponsors
and ticket purchases, with all of it being conducted in the shadow of 9/11."
