Chicago: U.S. Candidate for 2016 Olympics!!!

This moves Chicago into the next level of competition against the likes of Rio de Janeiro, Madrid, Rome, Tokyo and Prague. Wow! That's serious company to keep. I know one of the gentlemen leading the bid for Chicago and I'm sure he's a very happy man today.

Growing up I never dreamed Chicago would be on the world stage like it is today. Barack Obama is a serious candidate for President and now this. Very cool. Very very cool, indeed!
