Rio Win 2016 Games as IOC Rebuff Obama
By REUTERS October 2, 2009
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Rio de Janeiro will stage the first Olympics in South America in 2016, the International Olympic Committee decided on Friday, delivering a stunning rebuff to U.S. President Barack Obama and favorites Chicago.
IOC President Jacques Rogge announced the decision to give the Games to Rio after three rounds of voting which produced a landslide victory for the Brazilians in a final showdown with Madrid.
Chicago, despite a speech to the IOC by President Obama, who had put his credibility on the line by flying in to address the IOC just before the vote, went out as fourth and last in the first round of voting, one of the biggest shocks in an Olympic ballot.
Chicago had started as front-runners and most Olympic observers had expected the Obama factor - first lady Michelle Obama spent two days lobbying in Copenhagen and also addressed the IOC session - to be decisive.

Fiddling while Rome burns.
Obviously the Olympics and the world are racists to reject the Obama (the one with the gifr).
MMMMMMMM.....MMMMMMMM.....MMMMMMMMMMM.....
Blame in on Geo Bush!
Isn’t this a Reuters story?
They just don't get it. Despite?
Anyone blamed it on ‘race’ yet?

Any Questions?
Yes- adopted by the NYT
Let’s hope that Mrs. O doesn’t show up in Rio in one of those swimsuits Brazil is famous for.
I have to make a confession, Michelle. I always had a thing for the girl from Ipanema.
The Losers
I have to admit I enjoy seeing libs crying in defeat. I couldn't get enough pics of libs crying back when F'in Kerry lost. Too much fun.
Yeah! But the 0ites outsmarted us nasty evilly Conservatives! They had McCrystal fly to Denmark to meet with Dear Reader for 25 whole minutes! What a triumph for Der Leader!
Blame it on Geo Bush......and Rio.
Sorry, the Olympics are wonderful but we’re Taxed Enough Already. We’ve got legacy pensions for the UAW and political favors for SEIU to pay off. Sponsoring a world party for The One and Mrs. One is out of the question.
Getting hot in here...
The whole city is ablaze...
Hey look! A Fiddle!!!
That would be the "Billboard" bathing suit.
That’s not a fair comparison — the girls in the lower pic are in bikinis and the one in the top pic isn’t.
