The International Olympic Committee has eliminated the city of Chicago from consideration to be the host city for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
"The Ego Has Landed!"
According to the Washington Post:
U.S. city won't be host of 2016 Summer Games despite personal pitch by President Obama; International Olympic Committee still to determine eventual host: Madrid, Tokyo or Rio de Janeiro.
Looks like Obama's trip to Copenhagen was a waste of time and taxpayers' money. It appears that the IOC didn't want any part of that corrupt city or Obama's colossal ego. It is even funnier as Chicago as eliminated in the first round!
UPDATE:
Chicago's CBS affiliate reported:
A disappointed USOC President Larry Probst left the venue and refused to comment, saying the Chicago delegation would respond later.
Supporters gathered in Chicago were equally shocked. Many left the rally in Daley Plaza tears.
Tokyo was also eliminated in the first round.
UPDATE: The host city has been chosen. It is Rio de Janeiro! Now Obama can blame it on Rio!
