In the Olympics bids Chicago came in last against;Rio de Janeiro-Brazil, Madrid-Spain, Tokyo-Japan. Rio de Janerio came out on top to host the games. Even after the Obamas talked to the Olympics board they fail to bring the games to their home town.
I think its a good thing that the olimpics arn't in Chigago, becuase the Olymics are very exensive and i think that would send the wrong message to the people. Even though your in tough times its ok to spend millions or maybe billions on sports.
