The White House announced this morning that President Obama will in fact travel to Copenhagen to show support for Chicago’s Olympic Bid. It marks the first time in history that a US President has gone to lobby for an American Olympic bid. He will be joined by the First Lady, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, all of whom are from Chicago.
The announcement will be made this Friday, October 2nd around 9am. If you’re downtown and want to get in on the festivities, there will be a public viewing outside of Daley Plaza for the announcement.
