BBC News' Adam Brookes in Chicago: "The shock of Chicago's elimination was greater for the fact that it came in the first round. And greater for the fact that President Obama had taken valuable hours from his packed and tense political schedule to travel to Copenhagen. His legendary powers of persuasion will be said to have failed him, though in reality it will be Chicago's bid that failed him. Nonetheless, this is a moment which allows the president's detractors to allege waning prestige on the part of his presidency. And it will raise questions about the political advice that he is receiving."

That must exclude the golf rounds, NYC "dates", w/e at Camp David and Wednesday WH PArty Nights.
When does 0be have time to meet with S0r0s?

Anyone notice how white the crowd was in Chicago? Nary a African-American in the crowd.
Guess it’s O that is all wee weed up now!
MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM
His “legendary powers of persuaion”.....
Spare us. His arrogance is such that he is likely stunned that the IOC didn’t “drink the juice”. I’ll bet Oprah and Michelle are completely shocked that the world didn’t fall at their feet as well.
Not only did Chicago get tossed, they didn’t even make it to the second round. Hahahaha....
Someone needs to create a “94/0=FAIL” where the “0” is the obama symbol...
Maybe when those "sophisticated" Europeans got a good look at Bammy and Michelle, this is what they saw...
Although only four cities were in the running, Al Franken still received a few votes thanks to a box of IOC ballots that an ACORN community organizer found in the trunk of a car.
Y’all quit bitching about Obama and Michelle. It was a sacrifice to have to leave the the kids and fly to Copenhagen.
The man must just be worn to the bone. My company just laid off another 5%.
“..President Obama had taken valuable hours from his packed and tense political schedule.”
Surprising they’re honest enough to admit it’s a “political” schedule, rather than an “executive” shcedule.
Brazilian women have some of the best butts in the world. Bring it on Rio!
You won’t have to wait until 2016, you’ll get a sneak preview at the 2014 World Cup.
They probably resented his interference.
Meanwhile the farmers and agricultural workers of central Ca. being denied their water rights by the govt. enviromentalism are ignored in their cries and pleas to have their water restored. That's a tragedy--not Chicago!
