The real mystery is why any city would want to host the games in the first place. Billions of dollars spent on stadiums, venues and support facilities that will likely never come close to being fully utilized again but still have to be maintained. The people of the cities that lost out should consider themselves lucky.

It's no mystery at all. Cities want to host games because of (a) hubris of the local mayor; (b) opportunity for local business to line their pockets with taxpayers' money through contracts backed by the govt. The businesses who think they can make a killing grease the palms of local politicians who then authorize a group to make the bid - Even the bid process itself is opportunity for graft.
All those cities wanted the high end hookers to come in to town, lol.
Rio is going to be kick ass for those able to afford to attend.

Ya. Oprah only appeals to American fat housewives, so, the rest of the world despise her as much as George Bush.
the rest of the planet outside of North America has no clue who this Oprah woman is? As for Obama going well that precedent was set by Tony Blair travelling on behalf of the London bid and Putin for Sochi, also the PM and King of Spain were there to support Madrid's case, so its not only the Yanks that brought their leader.
Earlier today it was suggested by a source close to OBAMA that the OLYMPIC COMMITTEE does not like balck people. So Chicago was passed up.
Chicago not spending millions upon millions of dollars on athletic venues that will only be sporatically used in the future is something bad? Talk to folks in Montreal!Yep, anything bad happening to the USA is a republican win.
Although I can believe they said it, I wonder if they have ever traveled outside of Chicago and Washington, D.C.?Earlier today it was suggested by a source close to OBAMA that the OLYMPIC COMMITTEE does not like balck people. So Chicago was passed up.
Not only did Obama not win, Chicago came in dead last!
One headline summed it up best:
"The ego has landed."
Obama and his wife quite frankly think they're gods. They think that they can get whatever they want, and the world will listen to everything they say. It was a huge huge blow to Obama's and Oprah's ego.
As someone else mentioned, if I were on the IOC I'd choose Rio too. Why would I want 2 weeks in a city like Chicago that's full of violence and fat ghetto ass, when I could go to Rio for 2 weeks and get some hot bootylicious latina ass. The choice is obvious.

Not to mention the crime and violence in Rio is virtually non-existent.
