Well, his arrogance makes it satisfying when he loses on an unimportant issue like this. His caravan of himself, his wife and Oprah thought they were invincible...and they were the first to be rejected. It was definitely a statement being made by the IOC. Our President is not on good terms with Europe anymore, and they make up most of the IOC.

Besides, you know we'd ALL be paying for the BILLION dollar Olympic park they promised. What a waste in these tough times, Chicago has PLENTY of stadiums already. Most of Chicago did not want the Olympics anyways.

I'd glad to see South America finally get a chance to be the host.

You mistake dopeyness and a complete disregard for public opinion as arrogance.
