Unlike Tony Blair whose personal appeal for the 2012 got the London Olympics Obama failed and rightly so. Not so sure why the US thought that they could host it again. Especially after the complaints following the LA and absolutely dire Atlanta hostings with it's lack of organisation and poor facilities. No offense but the thing the World needs is the US to host the Olympics for at least another 50 years until they learn how to do it.
Sydney and Beijing showed the way forward in terms of organisation and setting. London 2012 will be good well organised and in a World Class City. These are World class Cities, Chicago is a hick town with no history or importance. The Worldswide equivalent would be hosting the Olympics in Dusseldorf, Manchester, Lyon, Adelaide, Wellington, or Islamabad. These are ugly tertiary, industrial cities of non importance other than to the inhabitant living there.
Rio on the otherhand is the right choice beautiful setting, classy and deserving.
