China give Cleveland your torch.
Why you might ask would i propose that Cleveland get the 2016 rather than our neighbor to the west? The answer is simple I believe in Cleveland.
Hospitals - We have them. The best heart center in the world, the Cleveland Clinic. University Hospitals of Case Western Reserve University. And for those without insurance or ability to pay we have Metro, where the county pays. There was a documentary recently about the health system in the United States, its not true about all states or regions. Cleveland, Ohio has the highest quality health care for those who can’t afford, and the bill is picked up by the county.
Transportation - Recognition as the most on time bus system in the country. Lets say its not big enough to support the incoming traffic, we have the best College of Urban affairs in the country, some will say Kansas City, but after watching Cliff Lee get his 22 consecutive win against the Kansas City Royals, i now we are better, it takes a city to make that happen. Chicago’s transportation system is running out of money and isn’t currently sustainable.
Also if Cleveland requires more hotels or train system, the Army Corp of Engineers could make that happen for us all, just look at the beauty of the Tennessee Valley.
Cleveland is a Cultural Center, the Cleveland Art Museum houses the largest collection of east Asian Art out side China. We have the Rock and Roll Hall of fame people - that’s huge - iconically. We have the Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens, the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo and Rain Forest. The park system around the Cuyahoga County is rated the highest in the country. Even one of our local Chefs is the head Chef on the show Iron Chef.
The real reason, I was in Wuhan, China when the announcement came that China was to Receive the Olympics. It was one of the most beautiful moments in my life, all of the students stopped their talent show and immediately began crying and singing the Chinese National Anthem. The love in that room was unconquerable. There are divisions in the national unity in the United States and one region obtaining this treasure over another most likely won’t cross those boarders the way it does in the peoples republic.
Ohio will sing out, loud and proud.
Furthermore, I also think the republicans lost Ohio because they choose Minnesota.
Ohio is the Heart of it ALL. Good Morning.
