WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama will travel this week to Copenhagen, Denmark, to make a big push for holding the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Chicago, Illinois, the White House said Monday. President Obama, center, hosts a White House event on September 16 to push Chicago's bid for the Olympics.
Obama will join other administration officials and first lady Michelle Obama in pitching Chicago to the International Olympic Committee on Friday, spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
No other U.S. president has ever attended an IOC vote.

Look at it like this- At least he's taking a break from destroying America.
I really don't have too much of a problem with this. There are always more important issues, but every president does goofy things like this. They always do silly things to make it look like they really care about the little man and the individual communities. Especially the ones they came from. How funny would it have been if he tried to help Kenya get the Olympics!!
I would have thought that he would try to distance himself from Chicago as much as possible, but I guess not. I know I wouldn't travel to Chicago to see the Olympics

I worked with the State Department during the Salt Lake games and let me tell you, it was a cluster...I dont think I want to be involved with that again. I did get to attend a bunch of the events though which was neat.
I am glad Obama is taking time out of his busy schedual to do something important.
