Rio de Janeiro wins right to host 2016 Olympics

Rio de Janeiro wins right to host 2016 Olympics
AP - Oct 2, 6:21 am EDT 1 of 99 Olympics Gallery Chicago was knocked out in the first round�in one of the most shocking defeats ever handed down by the International Olympic Committee�and Tokyo was eliminated in the second round.
Rio had played heavily on the fact that South America has never previously hosted the games, while Europe, Asia and North America have done so repeatedly. Now, only Africa and Antarctica remain as continents that have not been awarded an Olympics.

Nota Bene:
Unlike Chicago, dead people can't vote at IOC meetings
Still, I believe when any leader boosts support for his country, it's something to be cheered, not condemned. The leaders of other countries like Spain and Japan lobbied for their countries. The Olympics is supposed to be about unity, something we Americans desperately need.
