Chicago Loses Olympics Bid

Chicago news anchors stunned as the city is voted out of the running for the 2016 summer Olympics.

Matt Drudge said it best. "The EGO has landed". Diplomacy doesn't always work, popularity doesn't always matter and political power only gets you so far. Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and even Oprah couldn't sway the Olympic panel. The real loser here is not Chicago but Richard Daley.

The mayor has been marred with controversy over his career and facing major economic obstacles in the cash starved city. The Olympic coming to the area would have provided a much needed distraction and moral boost for the mayor. With Chicago evenly matches as far as support and opposition is concerned its clear that Daley loses and the ego's of Obama supporters may be a bit bruised.
