Obama to Lobby for Chicago Olympic Bid

This is definitely worth the president's time...and he does need to accomplish something during his tenure.

President Barack Obama will travel to Copenhagen Thursday to lobby the International Olympic Committee on behalf of Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympic Games, Valerie Jarrett, a White House advisor, said Monday.

Mr. Obama will make a joint presentation with First Lady Michelle Obama Friday morning in Copenhagen, said Ms. Jarrett, who heads a White House team devoted to promoting the bid. The couple will then participate in a formal question and answer session with the IOC, which will announce the winning host city the same day.
