President Obama, First Lady Strike Out

Chicago had the President of the United States and his wife, Michelle Obama, going for it in trying to land the 2016 Summer Olympics, but it apparently it didn't mean much because the Windy City was eliminated in the first round of voting. President Obama put his prestige on the line and many thought that would be enough to put Chicago over the top. The reason why the Obamas didn't have enough star power to make it for the City they live in was not, but the city's crime problems may have played a big role. Many wondered why the Obamas would put their prestige on the line in the first place, what with the President's big problems with his agenda setbacks. But make no mistake about it, this is a big, big loss and sooner or later we'll hear excuses it was because the President is black and the IOC is racist.
