Chicago and Tokyo have been eliminated from the 2016 Olympic bid, leaving Madrid and Rio in the running. Obama's hometown of Chicago was a favorite in what has been called the closest race for an Olympic venue yet.

How could they justify wasting one hundred million dollars on this ill advised endeavor. You should not try to buy off an Olympic race with tons of American money, Opraism and presidential involvement. With young Military men and women dying in Iraq and Afghanistan all U. S. best efforts and time should be devoted to them, not schemes and distractions. This Olympic fiasco has been an exercise in very poor judgement by Obama and Opra.
