Tragedy in Copenhagen – Olympics Snuffed!
October 2nd, 2009

Winging their way back to America, the Obama’s and Oprah were jolted by the news that Rio de Janeiro was awarded the 20 something or the other Olympics. Chicago is out. Gone. History. Poof. Uh Uh. So long. Bye.
In selected tasty bits, MSNBC reported thus: Chicago was knocked out in the first round — in one of the most shocking defeats ever in International Olympic Committee voting. Even Tokyo, which had trailed throughout the race, did better — eliminated after Chicago in the second round.
Chicago had long been seen as a front-runner and got the highest possible level of support — from President Barack Obama himself. But he only spent a few hours in the Danish capital where the vote was held and left before the result was announced. Former IOC member Kai Holm said that the brevity of his appearance may have counted against him.
Senior Australian IOC member Kevan Gosper surmised “The whole thing doesn’t make sense other than there has been a stupid bloc vote.”
“To have the president of the United States and his wife personally appear, then this should happen in the first round is awful and totally undeserving,” Gosper said.
