    Chicago's Out, Rio's in

    Friday, October 2, 2009, 01:51 PM EST [General]

     Didn't think chicago would go down so fast in the bid for an Olympics in the year 2016!

    The crowd left in droves and in shock when Chicago was dropped in the first round.

    President Obama and first lady, Michelle who is a native of Chicago left early after putting in their .02 cents,  which evidently was all it was worth. Even Oprah Winfrey couldn't sway the IOC!

    IOC said there just wasn't enough votes. 72% of Chicago was all for having the Olympics there. There was suspicion that taxes would be raised in the city already frought with problems and corruption with public services.

    Taxpayers were were assured taxes would not rise if the city were chosen.

    when we were in rio what suprissed us the most was how many roches were everywhere!!they were like moving puddles.
    even in fancy hotels and resturants. the people seemed to not even care.
    like they were totally used to them.
    the whole place is a dump.
    with a pretty beach.
    sooooo gross.
