Rio Lands The 2016 Summer Olympics

Ola, Rio!
Not even President Obama and first lady Michelle could convince the International Olympic Committee to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago, with Rio de Janerio securing the bid on Friday.
Oh us greedy Americans…
I hope folks realize South America has never hosted an Olympics game before and the United States has hosted the most.
So why not let our neighbors down South hold one?
Plus, have you seen the eye candy in Brazil?
It’s no wonder why the IOC was quick to eliminate Chicago from contention.
This was the gamble President Obama took when he decided to become the first United States president to actively campaign for the Olympics.
He has to deal with the fact that he was unable to get things done in Denmark.
If you took a poll on what Obama’s priorities should be, I’m sure Olympics would be towards the bottom of the list.
In case you can’t wait until 2016 for your taste of Brazil, the country is also hosting the 2014 World Cup.
