Yeah congratulations! Chicago was out after round 1 despite of Barry's jetting personally to Copenhague. :beam: :laugh4:

In Brasil they speak Portuguese, not Spanish, btw.

I would have loved to see the Olympics in Chicago.

First ever Olympics in South America. That's kind of a big deal.

Congratulations Rio! :2thumbsup:

Tokyo stood no chance. Half the people in Tokyo didn't want it, and we had Beijing in Asia recently.

I'm surprised Chicago got dropped though.

Yes, congratulations. Hopefully, this will cause them to start cleaning up the slums, but for now, happiness all around!

I wish this was in Backroom, because there is a certain remark regarding Obama vs. Putin/Sochi vs. Chicago I was dying to make...

But it is not...

Start a new thread in the backroom.
It is not worth a thread - it is but a simple, laconic snipe at Obama. Carry on people...
