Shortly after he spoke before the International Olympic Committee in Copenhagen, Denmark, this morning, President Obama learned that Chicago had been almost instantly eliminated from the competition for the 2016 Olympics.

I wonder how much this little jaunt on behalf of Obama’s cronies in the nation’s crookedest city–Chicago–cost the American taxpayer.

I’m sure the New York Times will report on what a magnificient speech the Chief Lawyer made, but his words obviously were seen for what they’ve always been–lies and empty rhetoric–by the committee members.

Besides, when you can hold the event in Rio de Janeiro, why would anyone in his or her right mind vote for Chicago?
