Chicago Loses Olympic Big, Oprah & Obamas Disappointed

October 2nd, 2009 // 2 Comments

Despite the campaigning efforts of Oprah Winfrey, Michelle and Barack Obama on behalf of Chicago, the U.S. city was bumped out of contention for hosting the 2016 Olympic Games in the first round of voting.

Tokyo was eliminated in the same round, leaving Madrid and Rio de Janeiro vying for the spot, which ultimately went to the Brazilian hot spot.

The disappointment was palpable when CNN anchor, Tony Harris, reported live from Chicago that the Windy City had lost its bid. Personally, I think Brazilian butt implants are at the root of this.
