The Chi-congo olympics would have been fun to watch. From a safe distance.

“despite the presence of then-U.S. President Barack Obama at the IOC meeting in Copenhagen”
I remember the Drudge headline,”The Ego Has Landed”.

I was working in Chicago at the time. I LMAO when Chicago was eliminated in the first round. All those lucrative contracts were gone. Mayor for life little Richie Daley retired. All those signs, “We support the bid and so can you” were worthless.

This is still one of my favorite moments of his Presidency as he really thought they had it in the bag based on nothing more than “hometown of Obama”
Meanwhile, all these globalist grifters on the IOC were lining their pockets the old fashioned “Chicago way” and could care less about the media messiah.
It has to make you laugh.

The Olympics are so fraught with politics and corruption, the point of them has been entirely lost.
If I were mayor of a worthy city, the Olympic Committee would have to pay the city for the privilege of holding the event there. The thought of greasing palms for all that trouble and drama and resulting debt is something I’ll never understand.

Chicago’s bid, considered by most a strong one, was the first to be eliminated, despite because of the presence of then-U.S. President Barack Obama at the IOC meeting in Copenhagen.ML/NJ

“. . . despite the presence of then-U.S. President Barack Obama at the IOC meeting in Copenhagen.”
Well, there’s your problem right there.

Oddly the Rio Olympics were a financial disaster for Rio.

Rio used the Chicago way. Hilarious.
I still smile thinking about the media reaction when Chicago was the first city DENIED the Olympics....all in the wake of “Obama is a god” hype.
One of his first of many epic fails.

Blessing in disguise. The Olympics would have been a humongous budget drain.
As if Illinois does not already have a huge, unpayable deficit...

Let Rio have them. The Olympics is nothing but a money pit. Build all those venues only to see them in ruin 10 years later.
