Michelle Obama's olympic bid


02.10.09

President Obama and First Lady Michelle lobby the International Olympic Committee in Copenhagen today to win the 2016 Games for their home city Chicago.

The First Lady said she was approaching the bid as if it were a political campaign and was excited by the prospect of lobbying the IOC members.

"I've got a lot of work to do," said Mrs Obama, who met chat show host Oprah Winfrey, another famous Chicago face, in Copenhagen to bring star power to the American efforts.
