Chicago out with fewest votes and now Tokyo is out.Looks like the beaches of Rio de Janeiro for 2016

The people on CNN are stunned.It's kinda funny in a way cause all the news people thought it was a done deal cause of Oprah and Obama.One news guy looks like he's tearing up

All the foreign presidents went on the behalf of their countries. I don't support Obama on many topics, but he had to go to Denmark for this. If he didn't go, it would have looked bad for Chicago...

Good point, but he was one of three world leaders that went there to try to sway the IOC in the 11th hour. I do think that Chi-town got out politiced by the IOC-which in itself is a lot of irony.

Those other presidents ain't going thru the shit that we are.The first lady was there and I'm fine with that but he has bigger fish to fry IMO

good point, i also think the fact that a poll was taken and even Chicago's people didnt want the Olympics which hurt us

I'll take Mrs. Obama and Oprah against any of those world leaders when it comes to power.I think if President Obama stays away it might have done more than him being there.
