The City of Chicago was eliminated in the first round of voting, before any host city was selected.
An expert called it the "biggest shock in IOC history."
Supporters gathered in Chicago were equally shocked. Many left the rally in tears.

That’s it. He fooled the clueless Americans but he can’t fool the world. The world isn’t his puppet - his ‘lies’ only work on the ‘gimme Americans’ and the state run media. So much for Missy and her ‘clothe in luxury’ sacrifice!
That photo is truly hysterical!
No Olympics for Chicago.
Now, fly back to D.C. and get back to work.
No problem. :)
The EGO landed and was rejected......WOW.....
How sweet it is!
& how typical of Obama & his cronies to blame others.
Rush: “World just “flipped off” Obama”.
So per Axelrod it was politics that undone the Chicago bid? Excuse me, but what profession is bammy and axelrod in? I thought they practiced politics and were known as politicians. So Axelrod is saying they don’t know how to play politics. Man, this guy is seriously stupid. Better to keep your mouth shut than speak and let the whole world know you are a turd. This is the guy that advises jughead on politics. Unreal.
I am ecstatic!!!! This debacle anwers a question I have had for some time now. I wondered was Barack Obama fiendishly brilliant and sinister, or was he an inept, egomaniacal klutz. Now we know. It is the latter.
More importantly, as far as I am concerned, is that now Barack Obama has to know. He now understands that the international community holds him in utter contempt. He is a laughing stock this morning. (I hope my neighbors didn’t hear my howls of laughter when I read this article).
Things are looking better every day. Perhaps this jerk will loose some of his compulsion to be on camera every single day. We’ll see.
I think that this loss is going to cost Zero a lot of political capital. May put him in a real downward trajectory.
Dumb move. One of the really dumb moves by a President in our history.
For the first time in my life, I’m truly proud of the Europeans.
Ha hah ahahahahahaha
The US economic crash has effected the worlds economy.
They news may refuse to report that here in the US but not so in the rest of the world.
Everyone knows 0 and acorn were the catalyst that brought down the US housing market which caused the spiraling effect we see today. Our news may not report that we were stupid enough to elect the cause of our economic problems but the rest of the world just isn’t that stupid.
By the time Americans clean house , and they will , Chicago will be lucky if it even remains an American city .
The greed and ungratefulness that has come out of that city has turned into a curse for the entire nation.
I expect sanctions against Denmark at least.
This multi-million dollar trip was an epic fail.
Exactly! He goes around the world apologizing for America and then when it suits his pocket, his ego - he changes his tune!
