In a vote of high drama, the bustling Brazilian carnival city of beaches, mountains and samba beat surprise finalist Madrid, which got a big helping hand from a very influential friend.
Chicago was knocked out in the first round — in one of the most shocking defeats ever handed down by the International Olympic Committee.

The story from Wednesday, June 04, 2008 (Who was President then?)
ATHENS, Greece — Chicago was among the four cities picked as finalists Wednesday for the 2016 Summer Olympics, setting the stage for a high-profile bidding contest between candidates from the United States, Europe and Asia.

So let's get the story straight. Chicago was picked as a finalist when President George W. Bush was in office. It didn't get the Olympics when President Obama was in office. Blame who you want, but it wasn't GW this time.
