THE PUTIN GAMES
Russian authorities last week announced the latest costs related to the games, saying total spending would come to about $51 billion, which would make Sochi the most expensive Olympics in history.
With the Winter Olympics a year away, IOC President Jacques Rogge praised Sochi organizers on Wednesday and defended the
$51 billion price tag.
Just a little research will convince you that many people in Russia are very poor.
But Putin wants to fool the world into thinking Russia is a great country. It is a great place to live for a select few.
I wonder what Putin would do if most countries boycotted the 2013 Sochi Olympics.
In a perfect world that is what we should do. He is a dictator in ever sense of the word.
How will the Olympic games help the average Russian??
The venue for the Ski Jumping competition will cost approximately $265 million ! 4-5 times more than projected.
So much money spent on a "sport" that most people will never participate in!!!
What a shame.

The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer.
Putin came to power in a time of great corruption.
Some claim Vladimir Putin is the richest man on earth.
