Well, I have to say I am one of those not disappointed by our loss. Yes, many jobs would have been created but Chicago was not ready. We are in trouble over here just like everyone else.

What I really want to know is why so many are up in arms over Rio and how much crime they have? There is at least one child each week being shot, beat up and/or killed around Chicago. I wont even go to Chicago after dark, certain places. I grew up in Chicago, then later Cicero, you learn the places to avoid.

It is a beautiful city, I agree and yes maybe it would have brought more revenue but at who's cost? Just because our president is from here doesn't mean we should have won. I think many people counted their eggs too soon.

It's over, we lost, end of story. lol
