Obama Loses Olympic Bid For Chicago

Paul @ Gone Hollywood | Friday, October 2, 2009

President Barack Obama has been trying to get the Olympic leaders in Copenhagen to give the 2016 Olympics to Chicago.

Barack and his wife Michelle Obama both tried to to convince the leaders by saying “I urge you to choose Chicago, and if you do – if we walk this path together – then I promise you this: The city of Chicago and the United States of America will make the world proud.”

Well it has been announced that after the first round of voting Chicago has been knocked out of the running, Tokyo was also eliminated in the second round. Madrid and Rio de Janeiro are left, with the latter being the front runner.

Oprah Winfrey was also in Copenhagen doing her best to help the Olympic leaders, when the big O can’t persuade you then there must be a problem. Where would you like to see the Olympics being held?
