Yep, just saw it on CNN. That's too bad, I was looking forward to it.

So glad we paid for the Obamas to travel there. What a waste of time and money

Unemployment is 9.8 though

Yet another failure by our esteemed leader.

Darn it!

Wish it were to come to Chicago, which is a neat town in its' own right.

On the business news they said that Chicago corruption might have played a role! Btw is Obama already back home

Failure? No, not really. They went to bid & unfortunately it didn't work out. Interesting that you guys salivate w/glee over something like this. You guys really are the true unpatriots of this country, you've proven it over & over again on this forum. Too bad.

I knew this was coming, despite hoping for the 2016 Games. I knew it was over after I watched Chicago's presentation. It was stunningly bad.

Madrid or Rio?

I'm thinking Rio will get it.

Yeah, that meeting with General McChrystal sure was a waste.
