This Thursday, Obama will be traveling to Copenhagen, Denmark, where he will be joined by his wife, Michelle Obama, and administration officials. They will be putting a good word for Chicago to the International Olympics Commitee, which will vote the host city on Friday. Obama will be the first U.S. president to ever attend an IOC vote. Chicago is up against Madrid, Spain; Tokyo, Japan; and Rio de Janiero, Brazil. the leaders from these countries are also expected to attend the IOC vote. The U.S. has hosted four Olympic games, the last one was held in 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Earlier this month, Obama held an event to help rally Chicago as a host city.
I think that its great that president Obama is trying to bring the Olympics back into the U.S. I think that having the games here would only help boost our popularity with other countries. It would also help bring our own nation together.
