The 2016 Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro, the first South American city to be offered this honor. As a Chicagoan, I was a little hurt that despite President Obama's best efforts, Chicago was eliminated in the first round. In the words of my mother "we loss, we loss, we ate tomato sauce!" The victory party in the city's downtown area was delayed indefinitely.
