With the First Lady behind the decision to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to America, you know tons more people are going to get behind it as well.
While attending the summit of world leaders in Pittsburg last week, Michelle Obama clued in a few select reporters that she will be lobbying hard for Chicago to beat out contenders Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Madrid. With more than 100 members to persuade, the First Lady is ready to talk to whoever will listen.
She explained: “I’m talking to everybody. That’s what my schedule looks like. I don’t think there’s one person left off.”
Her passion for the event stems from her childhood fascination with the games as well as her hometown pride. At least she is doing something fairly interesting with her time in office!
We think if she joins forces with Oprah Winfrey, they might just be able to make it happen!
