Olypmics a No-Go for Chi-City

Today during 3rd period, I heard the unfortunate news that Chicago was the first  finalist candidate city eliminated from the 2016 Olympic Bid. After a few years of promotion, awareness, and energy to gain support for the Olympics to be in Chicago, the dreams of many windy city residents were crushed. The Olympics went to Rio de Janero, Brazil. I was surprised at this final decision, personally I thought they would be in Madrid if not here. This Washington Post article speculates as to why the Olympic comittee voted against Chicago. Some say it is because of the hassles and terrorism and the necesary all out redesigning of Chicago's public transit system. One psychology student speculates that it was a sort of 'ani- Obama' act, that the Olympic comittee wasn't just going to let him have his way. What do you think, why were the Olympics decided not to be held in Chicago?

Sadly, this vision will never be realized...
