Anytime Obama is in an international forum, he's apologizing for America. If America is so bad that not even its President is proud of it, why should the IOC
The European establishment loves Obama, because they know he is a weak empty suit. The weaker America is, the seemingly higher prominence the Europeans have and the more often they can get their way. They like Obama, but they don't respect him.
Times (UK) - Chicago’s dismal showing today, after Mr Obama’s personal, impassioned last-minute pitch, is a stunning humiliation for this President. It cannot be emphasised enough how this will feed the perception that on the world stage he looks good — but carries no heft....
Mr Obama was greeted — as usual — like a rock star by the IOC delegates in Copenhagen — then humiliated by them. Perception is reality. A narrow defeat for Chicago would have been acceptable — but the sheer scale of the defeat was a bombshell, and is a major blow for Mr Obama at a time when questions are being asked about his style of governance.
