  Chicago had long been seen as a front-runner and got the highest possible level of support—from President Barack Obama himself. But he only spent a few hours in the Danish capital where the vote was held and left before the result was announced. Former IOC member Kai Holm said that the brevity of his appearance may have counted against him.

  The short stopover was "too business-like," Holm said. "It can be that some IOC members see it as a lack of respect."

  Now wait a minute, are the Olympics not basically business driven though?
