In the end, Chicago’s final pitch depended on the power of the speakers there in the meeting hall in Copenhagen to close the deal. And three of the key performers, Mayor Daley, Chicago 2016 Chairman Pat Ryan and, yes, President Obama, simply didn’t have the touch when it was most needed. Everyone knew Daley and Ryan could never be charismatic speakers, but President Obama surprised us with a speech that never took off. He seemed a shadow of his typically forceful self — only half there in the Copenhagen and never fully committed to the message he was delivering.

Only Michelle Obama came through for Chicago. And she was extraordinary — talking with great emotion and simple eloquence about Chicago, its people and, most importantly, her father’s love of sport. But she alone couldn’t seal the deal.

Rio was a given. It was decided long ago. IOC just had to go through the motions. They were always the front runners being South America has hosted no Olympic games. Would have taken a miracle for any other location to take it from them.

God, I hope the clip of her leaving O'Hare isn't the last we see of this tart. The Olympics I can do without, but losing a Jan Terri?

Rio is one of the greatest cities in the world. Chicago is one of the better cities in the United States. The Olympics have been in Japan, Spain, and America. They've never been in Brazil. I'm sure there is some explanation why some think Brazil shouldn't have been the winner, but I think the people in the other three cities were sort of wasting their money. They're nice cities, but Brazil has never had the Olympics. The question shouldn't be why Chicago didn't get it. The question should be why Brazil shouldn't have gotten it, because I don't think people thought about that enough.
