President Obama Welcomes The IOC

President Barack Obama welcomed the IOC (International Olympic Commite) who visited Chicago sometime ago. The video is interesting primarily because Barack Obama greeted the IOC people not only as the president of the US, but also as a Chicagoan. He gave a personal touch in his message. He mentioned that his wife is native Chicagoan and his daughters grew up in one neighborhood a block away from one sport venue in Chicago. He also said that Chicago is the most America in America, in other words, you can feel very American culture in Chicago. The city can represent America's values. In conclussion, by choosing Chicago as one of the candidate of Olympic cities, IOC has done a good job.
